The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 24, 2024

never listen to a dummy

For some reason, the puppet will speak only Latin. He therefore obstinately in this case answered, “Minime!” [“No way!”]

He’s just venting.

Who’s the dummy?

Rather wooden humour today…

Well he a ventriloquist.

You need to trim your nails before you stick your hand up there again!

The dummy has a girlfriend named “Mary Annette”.

XD!!

He’s just stringing you along. Time to cut ties.

He “woodn’t” care at all

Master of Puppets—Metallica

now THAT’S talent

he can’t help it, he’s a ventriloquist.

Clearly, this isn’t Jeff Dunham.

And don’t put your hands on my little pull thingy!

Sit on my lap and I will pull your string.

You don`t have any pull with me anymore.

He leaves me feeling stuffed and manipulated….

There was a RBION a few days ago that had a factoid about Woody from Toy Story originally being a dummy but they thought it might be too creepy.

He couldn’t have said it any better.

Also, an original Twilight Zone episode starring Cliff Robertson as a wishy-washy ventriloquist and a dummy named Willie with Type A personality switching places.

When I collected Batman comics back in the 1980’s there was a villain named “Ventriloquist.” Split personality who acted out his evil side through his dummy “Scarface.”

Me thinks the dummy is pulling his strings.

Just stringing him along.

the dummy’s no dummy…

Why is the doc holding her pad to write instead of having it on the desk?
