The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 19, 2022

Relatively narrow historic window for a mummy to get a crossbow.

looks like their plan is about to unravel!

Split up! He can’t get us both with one crossbow arrow unless we’re in a straight line.

What no Scarb beetles ? ( lol )

All right ya crooks. Drop the loot and scoot!

Take that “Tomb Boys”!

Darn! My three thousand-year-old crossbow jammed.

How William ended up with the Sicilian-Egyptian Mafia is a tale to Tell. Some say a Swiss Miss is to blame.

I WANT MY MUMMY!

Don’t bring a gunny sack to a crossbow fight.

“If I ever see youse again, you’ll be sleeping with the Pisces!”

His mummy came from Sicily.

You walk outta here with that stuff, you’ll be singin Soprano

He affectionately refers to the crossbow as mummy’s little helper.

A mummy using both old West and Sicilian slang, gotta love it.

Be-gauze he can, the mummy protected the tomb ferociously, and the stunads ran like hell!

The Godfathers Mummy…

Is that Whitey Bulger?

“GEEZ! I just finished rebuilding from the last time some ‘archeologists’ triggered the self-destruct trap.”

“Real nice pyramid you got yourself here. Be a terrible shame if something happened and it burned down.”

And with all his dusty wrappings, his huge ANK-CHOO allowed the thieves to escape.

He’s actually just a wino who was hired to scare them off. It’s a bum wrap.

The mummy won’t shoot. He doesn’t have the guts.

take the cannoli, leave the necropolis…

An excellent follow-up to the Far Side classic, “The Mummy’s Purse”.
