The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 25, 2024

Just waters please (wink)

Would have made for a funny-looking portrait.

It’s a buffet line

Reminds me of Mel Brook’s movie, History Of The World!!!

Still wouldn’t have been accurate. They are supposed to be reclining.

“Yes, we could sit on that side. But some guy named Leonardo will want us on this side 14 centuries from now.”

After the group picture. Would you mind taking a few? Work on getting everyone in there and not how we look. Jesus can do miracles with PhotoShop.

Jesus! NO!

I think that would be against his religion.

They are seated so they all could watch the game.

We would never turn our backs on you.

Waiter is covers up Mary Magdalene eh.

They’re sitting that way so that it’s easier for you to serve them.

It was once the custom to have images of the Last Supper, as mentioned in the New Testament, on a wall of convent and monastery refectories, so it would seem the diners were among Christ and His Apostles as they all ate.

hm—-maybe Norman Rockwell should have painted ‘the last supper’ similar to his ‘Thanksgiving’ painting

That server is not supposed to be there. Is he another be-tray-er?

They could be like the Peanuts gang, and make Franklin sit alone on the other side of the table.

True. Da Vinci probably never entered a Jewish home, much less visited Israel for an accurate reference.

Can’t see any of them eating lasts.

They’re listening to blues. That pub is called The Cross Road

Its a camera angle thing… like everyone in comedies sit on the same side…

I always wondered that too.

They’re still sitting at the bar, waiting for a table.

Ahhhhh, men.

The bible is full of ridiculous stories.

It must have been so confusing….who wants wine, who wants bread….Oy!

I thought the waiter was Mel Brooks

Did they leave one of those fake money pamphlets about their religion as “tip”?

Three-camera sitcom seating.

Guess who’s gonna pick up the tab?!

As Jimmy Carr said, “I’m going away. We’re having a dinner party. No girls!”

I suppose they automatically add a 20% tip for parties of 6 or larger.

Israelis vs Hamas?

Okay, which of you disciples brought the really really long selfie stick?

They would have their backs to us.

I don’t care how you got it. We still have to charge you for the wine.

I still think Mel Brooks did it better…

“Judas! Try the mulled wine!”

Since Tom’s darn movie, I’ve been focused on the ‘V" space to Jesus’ right.

Leonardo is trying b to get the waiter out of the way so that he can finish painting.

I so hate when any comic strip with any reference to the Bible or religion brings out the militant atheists who believe it’s their duty to proselytize their intolerance for people of faith. And I’ve never read one where the commenter recognized or acknowledged his/her possible hypocrisy.

They’re all facing the pub wall with all the TVs. It’s the day before Sand Bowl Sunday. Um, the guy in the middle with the Manspreading problem has got the tab.

Mel Brooks’ ‘History of the World – Part !’

The other side of the table was suggested by the innkeeper as being appropriate for the ladies, thereby keeping them chastely apart from the uncontrollably lustful men of the era, but you know how it is when you get together with a bunch of your gay buddies who’ve been living in each other’s pockets for the last three years: no ladies need apply.

Then how Leonardo would be able to paint all their faces?

Lucky you Christians are so tolerant. A sense of humor works miracles.

“There are no chairs on that side.”

Next, the server keeps interrupting the gathering by asking “How is everything?” every 5 minutes.

Be careful. Peanut cartoon got in trouble for it.
