The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 22, 2021

It’s nice the kids will help out in the kitchen like that.

You can never tell what those crazy mixed up kids will do next.

i think she is cracking up! Would that be considered cannibalism?

Eek!

They had a large part IN it…

These chickens are a lot more chill about the ingredients than others would be. https://www.gocomics.com/looseparts/2021/12/21?ct=v&cti=2195908

I believe the concoction is also known as “Infanticider”

The kids put their heart and soul into the eggnog.

Soylent Green. The early years.

Even though she didn’t raise them that way (or at all), the kids have great taste.

The kids were committed for sure !

She is “eggs-act-tly” right!

I’ve heard some animals eat their young, but this is ridiculous.

Dad said the cat and dog had to eat now, but I did not realize I was on the menu.

(((((GASP! ))))))

Oh well, down the “hatch”

Bawk bawk bawk bawk

Kind of creepy that that film is set in 2022, you know, next year.

Oh, you’re such a nut, Meg.

The French side of the eggnog carton calls it “lait de poule”, or “milk of chickens”. I picture all these farmers getting up early to go out and milk the chickens.

Grimm’s Fairy Tales for chickens.

A lot of good yolks here.

Munchausin syndrome by proxy

Isn’t that Eggs Benedict Arnold?

Helped in the kitchen, and now not a peep out of them.

Wow!

If they want any more they have ti adopt.

Does that make the chickens cannibalistic???

Cold, Dad; really cold!

It’s cracking.

No!! We used the last remaining healthy fertilized Passenger Pigeon eggs.

This is a first-class Dad Joke.

Essh!

The fowl fiend!

“The secret is a little Sugar and Nutmeg.”

“Sugar and Nutmeg? What a coincidence, that’s the name of our children.”

The kids were wonderful this year!

In a good universe, the kids come running in, saying, “Did you like the eggnog, Mommy? We helped Daddy make it!” Then we see that he used unfertilized eggs from the local supermarket.

In a bad universe, her follow-up line will be, “Wait a minute . . . eggnog . . . _egg_nog! Are you crazy”

And his answer would be, “What’s the problem? So you lay a couple more tomorrow.”

Back in the day, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel went to a Chinese restaurant and ordered the chicken meat omelet. It was called “the mother and child reunion.” The rest is musical history.
