The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 25, 2022

As someone who had to look up Alicia Keys on Wikipedia, I still need an explanation of this joke. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Sick call for the double jabbed and boosted. Nurse Rachets motto is “We’ll keep jabbing them until they’re sick of it.”

She just got a booster for her career.

“Living in a covid world, Yes I’m a Moderna Girl” (Madonna will hate me!)!

wasn’t it bruce springsteen who sang ♪ oh, oh, oh, i’m on pfizer…?

This would also work for COVID vaccines.

As always, Argyle Sweater is obscure.

My problem is she would then have to travel back in time to write the song.

That girl is on drugs.

Set your phazer to “stun”

After reading the comments, I figured out the joke but it still isn’t funny.

Aren’t they supposed to be BLIND trials???

If ya hadda ask (which I did!), this joke means nothing. Thanks for the explanation, folks, but it still means absolutely nothing to me!

And, uh, who says all the good jokes are used up.

I love cartoons that make me think! And laugh!! Thanks Scott

This cartoon makes no sense, although I gather that I am missing something. Also, at the top of the page, it states that there have been 37 comments on this, but I only counted 15 — even after clicking on “show all comments.” If a joke is this obscure, I’m not sure that it really qualifies as a joke…or at least not a “good” joke…

B-boom, boom! Or, a shave and a haircut two bits.

What if Pfizer had inspired Fats Domino?

I found my thrill…

In a blue little pill…

That could be Katniss Everdine

Alicia Keys’ BIG HIT SONG: “THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE”….now re-read the strip.

I thought it was funny. Everyone doesn’t have the same sense of humor and that’s okay. Thank you for the laughs, Scott. : )
