The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for June 27, 2022

should have listened to Led Zeppelin!

I think it was the high inflation.

Should’ve tried the Frogleap Studios versions.

… says the balloon smoking a cigarette.

Darn it. I warned him about running with scissors.

The balloon kids know… but it’s a craze.

They like to live dangerously, no strings attached…

listening to pop, eating popcorn, drinking soda pop…

some even get tattoos.

Or, usually… sigh.. part of a tattoo.

Groan!

Listened to “Classical Gas”

I should think his head exploded from the sheer banality of that playlist….

Pop Art can be dangerous to even look at.

What, no Iggy Pop?

He should’ve been running around the carpenters bench.

Such air-rogant cops.

Reminds me of the story:

Kid goes into class and on the blackboard is the note: Take out a sheet of paper and answer these 3 questions;

1) What is the short name for your father?

2) What is the alternative name for soda?

3) What is the most listened to genre of music?

Kid says: “Man, I hate these pop quizzes”.

Is Bieber still a think. I thought his 15 minutes were up already.

You sure it wasn’t that lit cigarette that did the deed???

New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody’s talkin about pop music

Funny! That would blow my head off also!

Boston Pops???

They should certainly stay away from this one – https://youtu.be/gPoiv0sZ4s4

like a cigarette is less dangerous to a baloon

Still thinking rap would be more dangerous…

Diddey bop…Diddey Bop…..Pop Music!

“Up, Up, & Away” & “99 Red Balloons” must have been on that playlist too.

Listening to those three made his head explode. I can see that.

Too much Air Supply.

Talk about Pop Muzik. :)

OH! The humanity…

He learned about pop music from his father, obviously.

“You, all right? I learned it by watching you!”

For some strange reason this wasn’t in the Los Angeles times this morning.

True, but our parents didn’t warn we who grew up in the 1940s and ’50s.

What about that balloon that can’t get off the floor? Heavy metal fan.

New York London Paris Munich

because burning cigarettes’ are SOOO much safer…..

Speech balloons!

The more you talk, the funnier it gets!

The fact is that Dad killed his son! Got too close to him with the cigarette.

these kind of cases seem to be popping up all over…

For a pun strip, this is really good.
