The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 11, 2023

Oh, if I only had a Clue!

Mr. Plum in the library with a candlestick.

It might have been Wadsworth, the butler. Or Yvette, the maid.

Maybe Colonel Mustard can tell us.

You might want to look for someone appearing suddenly in the study.

You want us to say Colonel Mustard, but only if he has grey poop on his shoes

It must have been the Earl of Sandwich.

Frenchy???

Could it be….Colonel Mustard?

I always enjoyed Cluedo as a boy.

I think his name was Ketchum.

I’m going home I’ll catch up with you later.

I relish the challenge.

What’s the age limit to remembering who Colonel Mustard is?

Let’s make a game of this.

My theory is that it was Major Horseradish.

Kernel Mustard is under suspicion, but that would be too corny.

Naw, Colonel Mustard got plastered!

I think someone is trying to frame Colonel Mustard.

[It’s kind of overkill with the mustard]

Perhaps it’s Mrs. White (the Housekeeper) – Resentful for being replaced in the game?

Maybe it was regular mustard since he wasn’t included with the fancy mustard?

If you have to explain, it is not JOKE!

It was obviously Mr. French

I had to think for a second, then I laughed :-)

I guess he cannot cut the mustard!

Someone was in the kitchen with Dinah.

The detectives might find the colonel of truth.

It was Ms Relish..then she tried to frame Col Mustard.

Have they Mustered up a Kernel of truth yet?

That detective is, “CLUEless” !

Was it Dinah

Mr Mustard? They still sell that product

Colonel Mustard did it in the kitchen with a knife.

Probably a Foodie. The man obviously had poor taste reaching for “regular” mustard with at least two Dijon choices at hand!

Mr Mustard…In the kitchen… With a knife

Mean Mr. Mustard!

Dinah did it when he began strumming his old banjo.

He couldn’t cut the Mustard. The Mustard cut him.

We can safely rule out Captain Catsup.

Looks like someone with a military background

He deserved it! French’s, indeed…

From what we see on the counter, it was someone both yellow (thus the knife in the back) and grey (a geezer). I would suggest Mrs. White or perhaps Miss Peacock. Miss Scarlet and Colonel Mustard would have attacked from the front, being more brazen, and Prof Plum would have struck him down with a heavy tome. Mr. Green would’ve used a financial instrument or a guilt [sic] edged security.

This comes off as a Mel Brooks knock-off spoof. Oy gevalt!

It’s looking like time to bring in the Feds… these cops can’t seem to cut the mustard.
