The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 06, 2024

let’s hope you don’t receive a chili reception at the pearly gates!

Excellent!

He went to that great hot sauce bottle in the sky.

The reaper is very funny. Looking. Drawn.

That is a reaper you should fear.

(Don’t Fear) the Reaper

This spirit gets to you coming and going.

Needs a hot sauce transfusion, stat!

Bring the capsaicin, stat!

Is Hal’s last name Apeño ?

OK I don’t get it. Probably a reference to a product or a commercial in the US?

Bound for “Hellish Relish.”

Nobody is green with envy.

It’s all too Grim for me.

they have peppered us with puns today

It’ll be a hot time in the old towne tonight.

You mean I’m not hot stuff anymore? ☹️

Anthony Kiedis and Flea send their condolences.

Call in the doctor. You know, Doctor Pepper.

Consistently the least funny frame in all of comics.

“Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too?”

I tip my hat to the masochists who can even think of tasting a pepper that hot. A little spicy goes a long way with me. I recall a small joint in N. Michigan that served wings that were so hot you couldn’t eat them but so good you couldn’t stop. And they sold a LOT of beer…

Is the Grim Reaper also named Peter Piper?

Taken out by his widow, Pepper X

Shouldn’t you have a “Sower” before you need a “Reaper”? Just asking.

Don’t pay the ferryman…

Having a come to cheeses moment….Jack?

There’s nothing Ghost about them when they leave you ouch.

Wasn’t that Carolina Reaper was caught and sentenced, recently?

I tried to make some home-made salsa and I used to Habaneros to provide the heat. That salsa was so hot, I ended up buying a store-bought “hot” salsa to extinguish the flames.

RIP Hal A. Pino

2002 – 2024

Should have called Dr. Pepper before it was too late.

Someone will have to break the news to his wife, Anne Cho.

Scott got the idea while eating a bhut joke-ia.

My hide-and-seek partner said I’m getting hotter.

It seems a little chili in here, no?

Time for the Scotch Bonnets to play their pipes.

Will he go to the big Scoville in the sky or turn up the heat down below?

This is a great one!

This was not really that hot of a joke.
