The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 19, 2012

There weren’t too many heart warming moments after this pleasant scene…

Tasteless to the bone.

But the next dinner is going to cost him and arm and a leg.

It may also be a liver-warming and knee-warming moment, depending on what parts she’s still got in that pot.

Ewwwww

I guess they’ve already eaten Comet and Blitzen.

I know nothing of the Donners. I assume they were cannibals.

Too soon!

Boo!

Poor taste. I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

Ewwww…That’s funny.

When you go to a restaurant with a waiting line and they ask you for a name tell them “Donner”. “Donner party..table for two” generally elicits a few chuckles.

I hear they invented the game of Rugby.

Morbid toon, the comments once again are as good or better than the strip itself

There was also a plane crash in the Andes in the early 70s that had the same outcome.

Its good that there were no politician or lawyers on the trip because after they clean out the crap there would be nothing left

Why are you gripping? No one can deny that they are faithfully serving their fellow man.

not funny !

Its a cook book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Its a cook book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Stories like that have occured more than one would think. Early whalers had stories of being in life boats having to resort to horrible choices to survive. Arctic explorers. The Donner party story is somewhat bad as they had to kill to eat. Most others ate the dead who were already dead.

the population of California quickly shrank in numbers right down to the bone

As mountain man Jeramiah Johnson said, “Care for some fresh meat boys as he threw what was left of a leg on their table”. After they griped at him he said: Meats meat"

I don’t think I have the HEART or STOMACH to be a cannibal, but my KNEE jerk reaction would be to do whatever it takes to survive. Anyone with half a BRAIN would do the same. It’s not a HUMERUS situation at all, but there was no one to give them a LEG up. What do you do when your BACK is to the wall? Keep your EYES open and your EAR to the wind, and hope for someBODY to come along and save them. No point in yelling your LUNGS out, no one around to hear. So, has everyone been served? I wonder who will FOOT the bill for this? I guess crossing the country in a wagon was the HIP thing to do back then, but it must have provided some good natured RIBbing to those left BEHIND. BUT, he obviously NOSE what is in the pot, and still has the SPINE to carry on as if all of this is normal. Gotta HAND it to him. I wonder if he made a clean BREAST of this when he arrived, just to get it off his CHEST? Or was he a HEEL? Was he the SOLE survivor? Was there anyone else to point a FINGER at him? Bet he ELBOWed his way out of that particular press conference real fast! Probably had a bad taste in his MOUTH. I think he was quoted as saying, “AORTA go home, I have a lot of SPLEENing to do”. I hope he has the GUTS for it……

Sooo, I suppose that was Sarah and Jeb Leftover?

That’s just code for ‘You just lie there on your lazy backside, I’ll do it’

LOL xxx

Looks like she got the biggest helping.

Too soon?

Yeah, REAL heart (feel free to substitute an organ or body part) warming.

“Sorry, Charlie. We don’t want Donners with good taste…”

What are we trying to say here?Democrats are better eating than Republicans?Well lets seeASS vs ELEPHANT?I think I will have the Veal Picatta.

We had a choice Steak or Fish.That’s right. I had lasagna.And stop calling me Surely.

If I’m already dead, I probably don’t care if I’m someone elses meal. Soylent Green???

Took me a while Heart. Warming.
