The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 23, 2022

That’s an alarming scenario.

Don’t forget midnight and five ’til one.

looks like the perp is a Cuckoo! he will have to face the music sometime!

You still have to keep an eye on his second hand. It just won’t stay still.

Time is on our side. Just show some ticker.

A broken clock probably can’t surrender even once a day. (Or constantly.)

The wait would drive me " coo-coo "…

Calm down, don’t wind him up tighter!

Don’t worries, officer. We will keeps a watch on him in the meantime.

Be careful. He may not be armed but he’s handy enough, and totally cuckoo.

True-crime stories in Clockworld.

That clock is going to serve some time.

Hey, Scot!! What if he’d gone Digital?

No one is allowed to punch out, on the time clock.

just turn him upside down…

“Harmon, stop, watch. We’ll know when his time is up.”

Showdowns don’t only occur at high noon.

Must be a White guy. If he were Black, they’d’ve gone in guns a-blazing….

Tell him he’s coming out at 10 after 10 or we’re going in after him. I want to be done and back in the barn by noon.

But he’s charged with a digital crime!

I’d clock him.

I thought they’d call the Swatch team.

What’s he doing at 6:30?

Time’s running out!

They are all synchronized.

Wait a second, is that a tweet I heard coming from within?

It’s how the pendulum swings.

Hope he’s not gonna dilly Dali

So – how do they capture digital clocks?

Bravo!

Ten and two if he’s planning on driving.

He’s like a ticking time bomb.

When he comes out, clock him!

At first I thought they were coins…

Give him some time to unwind.

Cuckoo, cuckoo!

they finally caught one of the “Time Bandits”

The Doctor will handle this.

Who?

Yes.

Remember Snipers, do not shoot till his, er, pendulum is vertical.

LOL! Keep that creative brain working, Scott.

Don’t Shoot! That’s my GRANDFATHER!

too bad we didn’t get here at 10 to 2

From the mind of Scott Hilburn, what’s next?

He has too much time on his hands.

Who’s the watch commander?

10 after 10?

I’m going to watch this comic closely for that to happen.
