The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 21, 2024

Gloria Gaynor. “I Will Survive” (1978): “At first I was afraid, I was petrified / Thinking I could live without you by my side. . .”

Had to look it up. I’m sure I’ve heard the song a thousand times, but my brain filters out most lyrics.

The most fearsome mugger in history was Medusa. She made everyone petrified.

Gloria’s problem is hanging around, talking to people on the street until it’s late at night and the muggers come out.

She never can say good-bye

In the end “She will Survive”!

at what point did they start dancing?

This definitely was a reach!

Worse now because now he’s back, from outerspace.

funny

Who’s under Gloria’s dress???

We took a bus to Mt. St. Michel on vacation some years ago and the bus driver played that over and over again. I thought he just loved 70s disco music. Turns out, the French have adopted that song as their national soccer team anthem and there was a major European championship going on.

“ Are you alright ma’am?”

“ Yeah, I’ll survive.”

I should changed that stupid lock. I should made you leave your key if I’da known for just one minute you’d be back to bother me…

Whoa, this one took some serious thinking, good one Scott!

She’ll last.

Is this the moment disco died?

Is this strip supposed to be funny?

Her best song ever….and I’ve heard them all!
