The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 28, 2024

looks like she gave him the bird!

I’ve heard parrots have a gamey aftertaste!!!!

Yeah repeat that big mouth

Jimmy is still coming over to fix the plumbing, right?

Don’t need to be coy, Roy.

Would have been funnier if the other man was named Siegfried.

The parrot was a stool pigeon.

Ow!

Her goose is cooked.

(raspberry!)

Next to last panel – The parrot’s death perch confession.

Awk! This “chicken” tastes like parrot. Awk!

SCORE!

She used crackers for the stuffing.

Old joke.

“Sylvia, you got some ’splaining to do!”

What did the chicken do?

the dumb bird was annoying anyways… :J

funny

That gives new meaning to, “A little birdie told me…”

Now that’s funny!

Little psittacines have big ears.

They should parrot with a nice wine.

Well done!

great comment

LOL!

This recalls an old Playboy cartoon with a much… queasier implication.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a true story.

Well that was AWKward.

Life at the Plath’s … and, maybe she didn’t off herself.

He ain’t pining.

“♫ Your cheating heart, will tell on you…♫”

She didn’t mind the parrot until it started reproducing her encounter with a lover.

My name is Jimmy but I don’t remember this tryst

Just had a “Mamma’s Family” Carol Burnett flash back. LOL

Hmmmm, that doesn’t look like sacrificial lamb…

A little hard to tell from his expression if he was paying attention to panel five. If he was, then they can at least have one nice final dinner together before the divorce.

Birdie got too big a beak and got hisself jimmied.

AWKward.

No one likes an Stool Pigeon

You can teach them to talk, but you can’t teach them to shut up.

Too late, Sylvia!

Why is the bird three times as big once plucked and cooked?!

Polly want a cracker while Jimmy wanna whack her.

I thought this was really funny, but i missed the important thing, in pane 5 the bird is talking about a different man! even more funny in the “comic” sense :-)
