The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for June 17, 2024

Hurry, it closes at sundown

But I like my food to still be alive and moving.

Can I get extra fire ants?

He ant kidding

Cajun style!!

That’s so Aardvarkian!

But will he toss one in his hat?

Recent Yelp review: “5 stars! This place puts the ant in restaur-ant!”

Just like the way my Aunt did it.

sun dried ants

Benihana for anteaters.

Cruel.

And as they say in the insurance commercial, " we’ve got a(u)nts"

Oooohhhh…and they use REAL magnifying glasses here.

We did that as kids!

Anteaters got to eat too.

“Magnify try one?”

Cool!

Yes. Yes. Back to my days in the late 1950s … just me, the driveway, my magnifying glass, and my popping formic friends.

Sun kissed ant sauté. Artfully arranged in the form of an ant hill. Or Mt. Fuji. Whatever you’re in to.

Puffed ants

Teppan, not hibachi…

Be careful, don’t burn your… uh… snout.

The ants don’t like it. In fact, it burns their butts.

That place seems a little aard.
