The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 13, 2025

It took me two takes.

It’s a football thing. Panthers, Bengals, Lions and Jaguars are all cattish about vacuums.

snicker hee heee heeee lol

Sucks to be his wife!

Look out the window Alice. The neighbors are fencing!

This might become a common cartoon cliche among couples living on future colonies on the Moon.

Vacuums do suck!

on Earth, vacuums suck. Add gravity, and everything falls at the same rate, because there are no molecules to cause friction. Away from Earth, there is “no” gravity to fall (not a lot of g), and no direction in which to do it, unless there is a spinning body that has gravitational pull. So an object will go in one direction maintaining the speed that it has forever, unless it experiences some kind of friction. Yada, Yada, yada

A minor LOL.

Vacuums suck

Mr. Pastis would be proud :)

Go sit in the corner with Pastis.

I bet he’d really complain if MegaMaid used her vacuum. “Suck, suck, suck.”

He can’t help it, it’s inNate.

Groan

Ouch.

And if you won’t help, Nate, it has to be done somehow!

This is why I have noise canceling earbuds.

Vacuums are un-Nate-ural.

Mother Nature isn’t thrilled with Nate either…that “survival of the fittest” thing definitely failed in his case.

Who here remembers when a vacuum cleaner would disrupt the tv signal? Or am I the only old person on here today?

Today’s cartoon sucks.

Groan. But a LIKE for putting in the effort.

I still didn’t get it because I have never heard the quote before. It wasn’t into physics and Aristotle,

External sound deadening airpods, Nate, you cheap bαstard.

As does the dog.

LOLOLOL!!!

Timing is everything……LOL

Still, don’t get it? “Read a book hillbilly” (Kahn Souphanousinphone from King Of The Hill)

Anyone who believes the old saw about how “nature abhors a vacuum” should realize just how parochial that is in view of the fact that 99.99% of nature IS a vacuum.

The dirt is piling up. Look at how high the floor is.

the neighbor gals are just hoovering this up…

Is Hillburn friends with Pastis?
