The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 13, 2023

Is he dead??!!

Sure it was Comet and not one of the other reindeer?

Not necessarily a comet, just Comet.

I like the antlers coming out the far side.

Comet the dead nose reindeer

VENISON!

The first commercial airplane? De Havilland is ready for its close up.

Looks like total Blitzen to me.

He must have found some ID on the body.

Hope Santa had good insurance!

At first I didn’t get it until I saw the jingle bells and antlers.

What the pilot told the police and his insurance company: “It wasn’t our fault. We had the right of way, and the guy driving the sleigh was looking at some list on his phone.”

hahaha That made me chuckle!

What an opportunity for publicity for Comet® bathroom/ kitchen cleanser.

I hope my present is okay.

Santa should have reined it in before impact

..or it could be Cupid. It’s difficult to ID mangled reindeer meat

His GPS goofed! Recalculating.

Brilliant! Like his nose!

Clever!

Somehow, “Seven tiny reindeer” doesn’t work.

Off topic, did Donner/Donder ever resolve her identity crisis?

Oh deer who will Santa replaced him with?

That poor reindeer only wanted to see the inflight movie and grab a snack.

The lunch special to day is Reindeer Stew.

Comet. It makes your teeth so green!

Comet. It tastes like gasoline.

Comet. Will make you vomit.

So get some Comet, and vomit, today!

Why is the man on the left holding a rolling pin?

“What happened here?”

“No Comet.”

If only he was a Dancer or Prancer and not a Dasher or Blitzen on through.

Did Santa Dasher off after the accident? And why wasn’t Rudolf leading?

Mr. Hilburn’s jokes just sleigh me.

NTSB is looking for the black boxes but they might be gift wrapped

Call the Wis. DNR and get it tagged before the end of December or they’ll confiscate everything you own.

Where’s Blixen?

He was flying Blitzen’d and totaled the plane. That hole is too big, there’s no Vixen it.

“When what to my wondering eyes did appear,But a miniature sleigh and eight… mmm, seven – seven tiny rein-deer.”

That’s what you get for Blitzen’.

The weather was stormy and the plane was caught in the rain, dear.

The pilot was wondering why the reindeer was getting larger and larger. Then it hit him.

It took me a minute there!
