The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 24, 2024

Should be renamed MashedoldDon.

The worst kind of pet, a lap woolly mammoth.

Of my friends in high school got a St Bernard puppy. He still thought it was a lap dog when he was all grown up.

(And believe me, it wasn’t easy to teach a mammoth to bark.)

“Show next guest roll over play dead trick.”

Leaves hair on the sofa too!

On the plus side: They haven’t been successfully burgled since they got him.

And once we get the jumping up under control we have to work on hum*ing their leg.

No jumping up needed, teach him not to stomp down on guests.

yeah, boyhowdy!

Woolly ever learn?

Is he housebroken? Or is the house broken?

Just wait until PETA finds out you’ve been training him to do tricks. Just you wait ……..

And I liked him, too! Awwwwww

One of my favorite Far Side episodes was on the other day: “French Mammoth.”
