   Bit of a reach. That much Ivory would be worth a fortune, someone would steal it.

   Huh? I’d paint over this one and try again. It’s not tickling my ivory.

   ~Exactly. The parts of this comic do not make a cohesieve whole.

   It’s a reference to Tom Sawyer. Just like the story he’s trying to get someone else to white wash the fence. It just so happens that a PETA person passes by. They are known to throw red paint to symbolize blood but Tom is trying to talk her into white washing the fence instead. She probably did it since PETA people can be a little dense sometimes.

   Really, you need to sit down and read Mark Twain, and keep up with current events! That’s what happens when you ban classic literature from your schools. This comic makes perfect sense and is quite humourous.

    Oh, and I should probably explain my last comment: Mark Twain’s book Huckleberry Finn was banned from many schools in the U.S. by religious fundamentalists (doesn’t seem to matter which religion, they all seem to like burning books and suppressing freedom of thought and speech) to the cultural detriment of a whole generation.

    ~I’m well aware of Mark Twain and ‘Tom Sawyer’. I’m also very aware of PETA. I just don’t find this funny. The ‘ivory’ fence was just too far beyond the realm of believeablity. I’m glad that you liked the cartoon.

    I hadn’t read Tom Sawyer in thirty years, then checked out the audio book, read by Patrick Fraley. I’d forgotten how good it is. He really brought the story to life.

    I didn’t get it until Gil explained it. It’s not the funniest Argyle, but I’ve seen worse.

    Does the guy think the lady is one of the animals because he’s feeling her…I mean he’s petting her. Wait is she backwards or facing forward?

    Silly peoples. Tom is lying when he says the fence is made from real ivory to get the peta woman to whitewash it.
