The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 19, 2019

It was a maize-cre.

Photo on the wall must be his “pop”.

Hush, the kernel is delivering the news. (Normally, you don’t see his cob.)

“After the news, stayed tuned for tonight’s movie, ‘The Corn Stalks At Midnight’”.

And we missed you most of all, Scarecrow!

Was there any popping? I only use discretion when there’s poping.

Kernel Cobb with the news!

If it was baseball news, that would be Ty Cobb…

Well, on the bright side, on the bright – side, it was over in a JIFFY !

…which is why a bunch of crows is called a “murder” of crows…

Then the truck caught fire and they all popped off home.

Among the victims; the children of the corn…

If the Sun comes out we’re going to have a whole different problem.

It was a total massacre …..all that’s left was creamed corn.

Gives “murder of crows” a whole new meaning.

If the corn fell in a circle, would it be an earring?

Must have been a whole peck of trouble.

I like the picture of the popcorn on the wall.

How can they hold up their glasses? I don’t see any ears.

Aw shucks.

Notice the newscaster said “cobs” instead of “ears of corn.” Add the words “near an Amish settlement” and then you got something hilarious!

That stretch of highway is now known as the “Silk Road”.

“And then the murders began….”

That’s a-maizing, Grace.

I heard about this on the CobWeb.

Witnesses were in-corn-solable.

Mustn’t let the niblets see the horror!

Death stalks the highways…

Truckers, get your Acme scarecrows here. Only $19.99 plus S&H. Beep-beep.

Kernel Sanders… the vegan alternative.
