The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 05, 2024

Is that small cloud ten feet off the ground or is the mobile 10 miles away and 50 stories tall?

As seen from an “auto-mobile”!

Alexander Calder was commissioned to design one of his distinctive artworks for the city of Mobile, and of course designed an example of “kinetic art” to symbolize a City on the Move. (He at first wanted to hang huge banjo cutouts.) (—

I want to see the signs for these California cities: Weed, and Reefer City

They should sell those in the gift shop

The mobiles are all shaped like the state of Alabama.

See the battleship USS Alabama while you’re there

If you’re wondering, the city name is actually pronounced “Mo-BEE-ul” not “MO-bul,” but the cartoon is cute, anyway. :)

Ok. So let’s see the comic’s rendition of Muscle Shoals, AL

I always thought it was Mobile cuz you can never find it in the same place twice.

I’m going home

And when I wanna go home, I’m going mobile.

I-10 has become a lot smaller and less congested.

It Calder back.

“♫…See how it feels goin’ mobile. Keep me moving…♫”

I had to cut through a sliver of Alabama when I drove from Northern VA to Pensacola, FL and back again. Seventeen hour trip each way, only stopping for gas and some food. Couldn’t do that now.

Man goes mobile while listening to “Going Mobile” in his auto-mobile entering Mobile in search of a Mobil gas station.

FUNNY,

took me 2 secs

The forecast calls for breezy and calder.

Perfect destination for avoiding the police and tax man.

But the city will always be 10 miles away because, well, it’s mobile.

Steer clear of those Alabama county bulls. They’re still upset over our Sherman’s Atlanta activities.

Eh?

I don’t know why they call it “Mobile”; it’s not going anywhere.

The mobile should have had mobile homes dangling, or are you saving that for another day?
