The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 10, 2020

Light housekeeping?

I would have guessed “dental assistant”.

There’s bright. and there’s BRIGHT!

I wasn’t aware Santa kept a payroll or that reindeer had bills. So much for magic.

The Pharos of Rudolph…?

Keeps him away from the red light district.

I guess the stimulus check did not help much!

Well he did a good job guiding the sleigh so guiding ships should be right up his alley!

Unfortunately, because of the lighthouse’s position, all of the ships following the Red, Right, Return rule ended up on the rocks.

He always longed to be a blue light special.

From the north pole to the North shore

The lighthouse on the Island of Misfit Toys was supposed to be white with red stripes…

He has a bright future…

Rest of reindeer went on government assistance!

he should charge by flown mile. One night should be enough to retire

red sky at night…sailor’s delight…

He must be using a swivel chair to turn around; so at least he gets to sit down on the job for once. I wonder if he needs to use Dramamine?

That Rudolf. He’s a keeper.

If there are two phrases that have been bludgeoned to death by sportscasters, it’s “skill set” and “tool box”.

Better than the Island of Misfit Toys?

Scrolling, scrolling, oh…it’s not Where’s Waldo.

Cue a deep cut from the Clockwork Orange movie soundtrack: ♪♫ “I Want to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper” ♫♪

This is a potentially rocky job.

Fun fact. Each lighthouse in an area has a different visual design so sailors can see where they are as well as be warned about navigating hazards.

Christmas – if you “blink” you’ll miss it.

Shine on you crazy reindeer…

Hope he doesn’t get bored easily.

The red and white striping is appropriate, although a candy cane spiral would have been better.

Better than advertising a brothel.

As long as it’s not the one from the 2019 movie.

He’s quite satisfied. In fact, he’s beaming.

Astronomer seamen would say the object is moving away.

Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my ship tonight….just doesn’t have the same ring to it!

…then all the sailboats loved him…
