The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 24, 2024

He hasn’t touched the “dreadmill.”

Mwhahahaha

untouched by human hands, or feet!

Looks like ol’ Mide hasn’t been gettin’ much action in another form of exercise, either.

Pants and tops will soon start appearing on it soon enough!!!

The treadmill isn’t the only thing Midas doesn’t touch.

The only thing he hasn’t touched., it what his resolution was about, I see!

Midas ironically learned at last: "Speech is silver, silence is golden.”

They don’t seem to be working out too well.

Apparently he hasn’t touched the queen either. Hmm.

“Why am Midas lazy?” he thinks.

Guess there’ll be no heir.

Funny

Yeah but he’s been busy with his Muffler Business

King to pawn … shop.

“All that glitters…,”

Solid gold Queens do not nag. :)

We had one of those, until my wife (RIP) got sick, moved into that bedroom, and tripped over it in the dark. My son-in-law and I cut it up and hauled it to the curb. It was gone in an hour. If the new owner didn’t splice the cable wires correctly, it ran backwards at highest pitch.

This strip is pure gold.

I don’t think a golden treadmill would work. He Midas well not have one.

Scott was wise to save this gag for a Sunday. Too much chance that a weekday colorist would mess up.

Well, his resolution not to pick his nose still holds.

he’s doing fine. he’s golden…

I know I’m a spoilsport but how come Midas’ wife is talking? She’s made of gold, supposedly.

It was Midas’s daughter that he turned to gold.
