The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 09, 2012

So, did he off himself, or was it murder most foul?

The poor guy went to pieces

Victim of a salt and batter he.

He just got tired of being poked in the belly.

You can punch him down and flatten him, but he will rise again.

Crazy mixed up kid.

Too many pills. Bury him soon.

These puns are better than the strip.

no giggling from the dough boy now

He was kneaded by many.

It’s a mixed blessing.

Poppin Frappe’.

Suicide recipe note! Don’t think he’s going to rise again.

Should we send the family a big bouquet of flours?

I got mixed feelings for this one.

Sniff. He was my roll model.

He thought it was a Jacuzzi

That is what he gets for popping fresh.

Accident….got too close to the doughhook. Improper guarding!

Alas poor Doughboy, we hardly knew ye!

A who donut situation!

All is got to show my happiness is the belly ache I got from all these puns. I got nothing … they’ve all been used. There’s no clear winner today — but you got a rise out of me. Brings a whole new meaning to a bun in the oven.

I was gonna say, “Doh!”Number 6 has another version, beating me to the punch. The DoughBoy was a little mixed up. He needed some KitchenAid but his timer ran out.

Services will be hale at 350 for 35 minutes.

I thought this strip looked familiar. Upon close inspection the date at the bottom is 2009. Is Mr. Hilburn on vacation?

“Goodbye gruel world, my loaf is through. Leaven is now the yeast of my concerns.”

And Aunt Jemima read his eulogy at his funeral. He left behind a wife, two doughy kids, and a loaf of bread in the oven. You can read The Funeral of the Pillsbury Doughboy on-line.

Poppin’ Fresh……..no-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
