The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 09, 2023

Remember that episode where Flipper gets caught in the net? Probably was one..

Cruelty Free High Wire Act!

Wait til you see his back flipp-er!

The Dolphins from Miami?!

Living very dangerously!

Leave the Tuna alone!

Imagine THIS act without a net. Your audience would be seagulls.

It is being filmed for Netflix.

This is not a dolphin safe circus.

Soon to prove his net worth. But it might be gross.

WILL HE FALL ON “PORPOISE”?

Is he a chicken (of the sea)?

Dolphin circus.

Getting caught in a net is one of the greatest fears of many dolphins.

That’s gross! But maybe he’ll end up ahead of the net.

GASP‼️ Will he get caught?

This net is so beloved and respected at the circus, they gave it a name…Funicello.

Who’s Annette?  And where is she?

Clever twist.

Give him the hook and send the others back to their school.

something fishy about this …

Looks like the colorist got this one wrong. That horizontal line in the middle should be a tightrope, not the edge of the tent. Coloring everything above it red is confusing.

bad

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Clever and a great message. Not sure I should laugh. The only ones who won’t show any concern are the tunas in the crowd.

Nice!

This act is certainly raising everybody’s endolphins.

(sorry, that’s the only joke left I can think of)

Interesting ecological message here (dolphins, sea turtles, other sea creatures trapped in nets or six-pack plastic webs).
