The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 27, 2024

they took him away in a tiny little hearse

That’s a Clown’s Dream Death!

As they used to say, always leave them laughing.

Attributed to Edmund Gwenn: “Dying is easy — Comedy is hard.”

That’s COLD!

He wasn’t too “Idle” to follow the motto: “So always look on the bright side of death”…

Hard to draw a line around that one. 14 other clowns were just standing around.

Just goes to show the lengths to which a clown will go to get a laugh..

Bet he can’t repeat that act again!

Clown Down! Clown Down! Send backup!!!

Yeah but he was creepy anyway.

Passerby says “I thought I smelled something funny”!

He was clowning around until the very end.

Reminds me of when Chuckles the Clown got trampled by a rogue elephant.

Are those what they call “laugh lines” on the ground?

Now that’s a pratfall!

He would have been proud.

Maybe it feels that way for you, but I’m sure he was not amused.

how tragically hilarious. :}

Does Sideshow Bob have an alibi?

Cannibals won’t eat clowns. They taste funny.

The cop got written up for laughing.

It was an accident. He was clowning around at the time of his death.

Don’t get it.

… and now his estate owes E. Jean Carroll 83 million!

For whom does the Claribel toll? His bell got wrung, attacked by an angry mob of ducks.

Bozo, the worlds flattest clown. He’s gone from 3D to 2D!

“I die each time

I hear this sound:

‘Here he comes—that’s Cathy’s clown.’"

—D. Everly (R.I.P.)

When I was a kid I always thought they were singing about a Cantonese Clown.

Gnome body knows for sure!

It’s better than their previous case … the mime that suffocated in a box.

I just knew they were scary bloodless evildoers.

He really made an impression

The mimes did it. But they retain the right to remain silent!

He was trying to juggle pianos
