The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 02, 2024

Uh,oh. Here comes Trump to build a wall.

it might be a big old #2 (pencil) if you get my point…

This pencil is mightier than the cocktail sword.

Barnes & Noble will be the only option

“Imagine there’s no countries, It isn’t hard to do”…with an eraser

We get your point!

It looks realistic with the residue of erasure crumbs. (Remember making corrections on pages done on manual typewriters?)

Now we know why you can’t see borders from space.

I draw the line at making political jokes in comics not on the editorial pages.

You’ll be invaded by “La Cucarocha!”

gutters

“Comics Without Borders” spreading fun and merriment across the globe!

Careful, that’s how you get Peanuts on your Argyle Sweater.

And now that you’ve seen it doesn’t work, you can draw them back.

Now what are you going to let into your panel? (You’re no longer exclusive.)

Pencil whip it

All off the other comics will swarm in to take your sh…tuff! (Actually, the cartoonist will give it to them…)

Many times it was the other end of the pencil that might have been better used by the cartoonist.

You fool! Now you’ll have Andy Capp in there cadging drinks.

Oh great now all those illegal immigrants will invade your panel

In this case, wouldn’t the other comics have to erase their borders too?

This borders on the funny.

The sky is the limit

LOL, great, subtle “not getting political” example.

It looks interesting.

Looks like the Ticonderoga pencil.

It will look like a Where’s Waldo comic.

Not crowded enough.

Ask the Doctors.

not so good

Looks sketchy.

You need look no further than our southern border to see “what it would look like without a border”… (that comment should have something to please both sides!)

Darn, ’can’t tell if they’re inside or outside the box.

Come to Texas and we’ll show you.

Doesn’t apply to comics. The designed configuration of the comics page prevents crossovers. The border exists whether or not you can see it. And if the other comics spread over your joke, imagine how that would ruin things for everyone.

Good thing there’s no cat in this comic. They’d hate it.

Ho Hum! Time for a nap. Wear ear plugs as there are TOO MANY BLUES singing.

Point taken!

First, there was ‘Doctors without Borders’ and now we have ’Cartoonists without Borders!

I had hoped someone would have explained who this “Jimmy” is. But no, you dix have to make it about Orange Jesus.

Imagine there’s no countries,It isn’t hard to do,Nothing to kill or die for
