The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 14, 2024

Sue Mr. Hilburn for his medical expenses!!!!

Seriously, what’s wrong with that mean old cartoonist?!

Scott, he’ll burn for that.

… and I crashed into the fourth wall …

Excuses, excuses.

And he broke my fourth wall!

What’s the big deal? So now he’s left-handed. Really, really left-handed.

So the bike wreck had nothing to do with it?!

Don’t insult the cartoonist, kid, or you’ll also be covered with blood.

Just don’t counter steer next time.

Ever since Deadpool came out, everybody is breaking the 4th wall.

The cartoonist is also drawing some ire.

My arm once looked just like that. In my case it was when I left my hand on the vaulting box and came down on my arm. Both bones snapped and the doctor put it back together crooked.

Luckily you have cartoon physics. Just turn it around.

Stop your whining kid and get back on the bike!

Kid got one thing right…

He did it with humerus intent.

That’s gotta hurt…

If the cartoonist drew it that way, then it’s not an accident. And if the cartoonist drew it that way, that’s just the way it’s supposed to be.

. . . and cut off a finger, like most cartoonists.

It must be a suburb of ‘Cartoon Town’, where anything is possible, and often is. (Refer to ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit?’)

Writers are responsible for the problems they create.

Eek! Flashback to when young drunken mother was race-car driving home to her unsupervised children, missed our street’s curve, drove over my neighbors lawn and mine, hit my mailbox post and the big granite rock next to it. The oil from her punctured transmission lead to her car parked at her apartment almost a mile away. A detective visited me after my repair with an 8" wood post held in 300 pounds of concrete.

Nurse, get me an eraser, stat.

Ok, I’ll get the First-Eraser kit from the linen closet.

Of course it’s backwards – he was drawing a mirror image.

You’re in a comic, not a cartoon. SMH

Looks like he just broke his funny bone.
