The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 30, 2022

It is better than when they had the Octopus surprise party…what an inky mess!

The compliments aren’t sincere. They’re just puffery.

How could they tell? (yes, I’m just kidding)

Lousy poker face.

Phillup didn’t think he was well-liked among his co-workers. It was sort of an epuffany when they gave him a surprise party.

“Who’s the one sing “Round and round the Mulberry bush?”.

I see you got the point(s)!

Fugu all of you guys!

The appetizers are worms on hooks with strings.

someone has to say it…

they threw him the party for the halibut…

Then why are you in defense mode?

What a blowout!

Shouldn’t he be surrounded by a cloud of yellow water, too?

Which one is the driving instructor?

Well NOW you’ve gone and puffed up his ego. He’ll be even MORE insufferable!

What I feel like after too much pizza and beer …. where’s my Tums.

What nerve. They didn’t invite Hootie.

Good thing it wasn’t for an octopus. There would have been a big ink cloud.

Careful with those balloons.
