The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 20, 2021

It’s a Gordian knot of nonsense.

“You’re a rope!” “No, I’m a frayed knot.”

You know someone’s making ‘’string theories’’ on this…

They are going to string out this discussion without a strand of proof until it coils them. At least they could ad-hemp-t to be splice to one another…

Together we can take a bight out of these conspiracies.

But can he thin out pastry dough with that rolling pun?

Jim has a hang up.

Cordage Noose Network?

Again, another wall full of bad jokes. This deserves a blanket “Like” for all you fine folks.

it’s a knotty issue…

I’m a-frayed Jim’s theory is unraveling. He needs a good whipping.

We’ll act a-cord-ing ly!

Aha! You didn’t do the secret handshake!

Such a knotty cartoon.

The guy on the right is a denier, about 1000 tex or so. Very dense. (This is what comes of working in a fibrous materials research lab for fifteen years.)

The Illumiknotty was exposed when it all came unraveled.

Jute ought to know by now..

It’s not the Illumiknotty you have to worry about about these days, it’s QA-AKNOTTY!

Three’s a hitch in his logic.

No noose is good noose !!!

No worries, call on “Mary, Untier of Knots” .

I can see that you’re tied up right now, Scott. Or maybe you should be.

Laughing my lasso off at all you people.

Good morning everyone. Hawser guys doing?

The one in the middle looks about a half hitch off.

How did I get roped into this discussion?

It’s hard to follow the thread of his argument.

Wow! Three Dad jokes in one panel!!!

Rope and Knot jokes ?!?! I’m a-fraid not !

Is Stephen Pastis guest writing for Mr. Hilburn this week?

Watch out or the elder proctologist of Zion will get you.

You can’t join the Illumiknotty until you can convince them that you’re fit to be tied.

BRAVO! Your best of the year so far

There’s no reason to be a braid.

Actually cable conspiracies are worse. The members are wired.

Only to be expected in the Untied States of America.

hemp was always my favorite of the three stooges…
