The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 19, 2020

The giant airbags that stunt people use in high falls do release air as part of the slowing down process because the give is easier on a human body than hitting a solid bag.

Pranksville would be holding it whoopee sign side down.

Hopefully Lucy, from the peanuts comix, is not holding the prop

If it saves me , I don’t care how embarrassing!

I would probably do a lot worse than fart if I was in that position.

He needs to land flat(ulant)

I hope she jumps accurately so that everyone can be making whoopee!

If they filled the cushion with whipped cream would that make it a Whoopie Pie?

The department is named after Ms. Goldberg!

Oy…it makes one hesitant to jump…

that fire truck looks suspiciously big

They filled it with maple syrup. You know, flatus a pancake.

The Bronx Cheer heard all around the world … FRAAAAP!!

That’s what you get for calling the Fire Defartment.

Looks like the three stooges in its a mad mad mad mad world.

it’s the thought that counts

Going to need to borrow a megaphone for the obligatory coughs…

Oh the sound that’s gonna make when she jumps!

My daughter and her family live there. The biggest cash crop of the surrounding farms is cabbage. You don’t want to drive there in the late summer … the stink makes your eyes water … but it reminds me of when mom made sauerkraut and pork-hocks in the ’50s.

People will run to a fire just for the sound effects!

Their full name is Pranksville Fire and Rescue Team (FaRT).

The Pranksville Police Dept has guns that have little flags that say “BANG!” pop out when they pull the trigger. And everyone in town has learned to make sure no one from the dept is within earshot before asking the waiter for pepper lest they get a squirt of pepper spray.

Considering the situation, she’ll probably be carrying a load anyway.

Makes sense. The fire is in the baked beans plant.

That is how an airbag works, without the sound effects

It’ll be a ghas-tly fall!
