The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for May 19, 2020

Groan.

Oh man, is he sour or what?

He’s a bit crusty, isn’t he?

What are they doing loafing in bed at 4:00 A.M.?

Leaven them sleep.

They were planning to sleep, but their plans went a rye

Me thinks the writer is auditioning for ‘Pearls before Swine’.

DOUGH !

these early a.m. calls are getting pretty stale…

Seems like the phone call got a " rise" out of him anyway!

There could still be a bun in the oven for them.

Are they part of the upper crust?

Somebody has a yeast infection?

Whose half-baked idea was it to call at this hour?

“What the focaccia?” is my new go-to.

Ciabatta believe that’s poor timing

Might end up raisin some hell.

rim shot? I don’t think so. DRUM ROLL…

Well done, everyone! Or at least nicely browned.

Anyone calling this late must be half baked!

Time to make the doughnuts.

Oh for a Pita’s sake, calm down.

“Have you heard the good news about cheeses?”

What, he only speaks in buns?!

He’s gonna go bananas…

I can use more sprinkling of flour, so we don’t sticky buns together

This gag would have worked better before the invention of caller ID.

Rather rye humor all around here!

Bet he makes a lot of dough.

Sunshine Susan would have loved this comic.

I guess excessive punning doesn’t lead to self-loaving.

This fell flat as a brick.

Wow! The comments!! This artist really knows his audience.

Ah! “What the focaccia?” is my new catchphrase

At yeast it was humorous.

“Hey, you’re late for work!” Get your buns in gear and make it to the bakery.

What an ornery loaf, he must have grown in a tight mold.

Am I the only one that sees a couple of penises pretending they’re rolls?

Let him sleep. It’s the yeast you could do.

5 puns in one cartoon panel (I included the title)? That is WAY too much! Someone please call Rat from Pear’s Before Swine and give him Hilburn’s home address!

Oh, quiet down and Pop Over to my side……

This comic is the best thing since sliced bread.

That’s a cross bun. Let him go back to bread.

That’s one hot, cross bun!
