The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 07, 2019

Bloke sounds like ’e’s ravin’ mad.

Since the fall he does the Usher’s nevermore…

He’s a Poe-et and don’t he know-et.

Love the raven on the back fence.

Is that “Napoleon Dynamite” as the tree?

Never more said the Raven….never more….

…it might have been MAD magazine, over 50 years ago. “Quoth the spaniel…eat Kraft cheese…”Relevent? No, but it came to mind after seeing this…

Notice, please, the name on the boss’s shirt. Edgar Al Land Pro. Then, you realize that the instructions he gives the assistant have the same meter as a certain poem. Hint: the assistant should reply “Nevermore”!

SAd lookin’ tree, not happy!

I always mow the leaves.

A lot going on in this picture. Love it!

And watch out for the Tell-Tale Cart…

“Next, trim the balm tree, Gil, lad.”

Should’ve been “All Land”. I find it weird that I spent too much time at 1:30 am last night reading about Poe & his family, etc on Wikipedia, then this comic shows up in the morning!

This is stark raven silly.

“We’ll break for lunch soon. How about po’ boy sandwiches?”

“Sounds great. I have a ravenous appetite, an’ a bel-ly that’s empty!”

Almost a false start.

Quoth the raven, “Nevermower.”

Wonderful! Thank you!

Quoth the Raven: Nevermower

Next they’ll be looking for the purloined edger.

Should’ve saved this one for Halloween – but very nice!

Very clever and well done!

I know the anonymous toaster always left roses and the bottle of unfinished cognac at Poe’s original grave, but I never understood the reason for cognac. Poe was an alcoholic, of course, but I don’t believe I’ve ever read that he had a preference for cognac.

Yeah, absinthe more likely than cognac. And there ought to have been poppies instead of tulips. Maybe they are poppies? Quoth the lawnman, “Never Mower.”

Alfred Joyce Kilmer!
