The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 27, 2012

He takes after his Dad…

Wally Bulova….poor kid never stood a chance……whereas Ricky Rolex was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth!

He looks cuckoo.

Now that Seth Thomas kid, he’s quick on the “uptick”.

ChicagoDoes anybody really know what time it is?Does anyone really care?Although I cant imagine whyWe all have time enough to cry.

It’s about time they switch to digital.

Wally’s not wound up enough.

He also has a facial tic.

He’s so slow, he’s a calendar.

Of course he is, what with all that time on his hands.

There’s not a MINUTE to lose. We have to FACE up to this problem and take a HANDS on approach. We’ll give him a BATTERY of tests. TIME will tell, of course, but I think we can get him into the SECOND grade this YEAR. I hope you both agree with me, because by looking at you, it seems you two don’t agree with each other!

Shouldn’t the little hand be between the 3 and 4?

So, not too tightly wound then?

Spring ahead.

Maybe Wally isn’t slow, he’s just Casio with his studies?

i hope Hilburn reads these comments – lots of good fodder or future strips. Well done peeps.

I’m surprised the teacher doesn’t have a nervous tick from dealing with all the wound-up kids giving her the gears.

BTW, why is the third hand on a clock called the “Second Hand”?

I hope nobody here is trying to kill time.

I’m outta here. I don’t have time for this!

then there was the live commercial where John Cameron Swazee’s team strapped a Timex to a boat propeller and ran it around a pond to demonstrate waterproof capability.the boat pulls up to the dock, the team tilted the motor to show that the Timex was still ticking and …..VOILA!no TImex

He could be a little coo coo also.

Butt enuff about Wally… lets talk about the lack of hygeine with “The Beaver”….. it’s about time…..

I hope he doesn’t start killing time!

Teacher looks like a strict Regulator; he’s probably English Lit, if the orange picture of the clockwork is any indication.

batteries no included

I hope they don’t get ‘ticked’ off at him for being slow.

Love the ‘Time Flies’ picture.

They need to transfer him to Ridgemont High.

His gears are slipping too.

Then he may have to run fast to catch up.

only by about 5 or 6 minutes.

He must be a stop watch.

He’s in no hurry.

Let’s hope her daughter isn’t fast.

It was probably his ticker
