The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 10, 2021

Get your licks in while you can.

Maybe it’s time for the good ship Lollipop to sail off into the sunset.

AKA, the Sugar Lobby.

Suckerrrrs !

♫ We welcome you to Munchkinland, Tra la la la la la la ♫

That joke is like Coke without CO2….

Sweet !

They quit using sugar in favor of corn syrup and became the cornfectioners’ guild.

Sheesh, what a witch.

Hope the Lullaby League gets a better reception!

And what in the name of the Lollipop Guild do you wish to do?

That guy on the end must have an interesting private life.

Wait for it! ……do you take us for a bunch of suckers? (devil made me do it)

What, no suspenders?

I think I single handedly supported that lobby for 30 years. Sugar was ubiquitous.

looks like the guild members are licked…

Waiting for a chorus of ding dong the “Mitch” is dead

They are not in Kansas.

“We represent the Lollypop Guild, The Lollypop Guild, The Lollypop Guild. And in the name of the Lollypop Guild, We wish to welcome you to Muchkinland.”

Ha! Is my face getting so round, I look like a sucker?

Reminds me of follow the yellow brick road…lol

All their customers are suckers?

And then you have the Tootsie Roll Pops Hard on the outside but soft in the middle, arbitration would ensue!

Okay! All you suckers come to order!

Watch out for the sticks when you’re sitting down!

Senator Oz I presume.

The Tootsie Pop representative looks a lot like Mark Twain.

The committee wants to know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie pop.

We represent the Lollipop Guild – The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild – And in the name of the Lollipop Guild – We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land

“The chair recognizes the senator from Kansas.”“Ooooouh Caaaaaaah!”

The chair now calls on the Expert Witness: The Wise Owl for his opinion

Tootsie Roll and Blow Pop are the same company.

And that’s how “daylight savings time” got extended past Halloween.

They’re too tall to represent The Lollypop Guild…

i use to get a Dum Dum sucker after my dr visit when i was a kid and i loved Tootsie Pops, biting into it almost immediately to get to the tootsie roll inside. i have not had a sucker in years!!!!!

FUNNY!

Wizard of Oz reference.

Excellent! : -)

Suckers in front of the Parliament of Whores, Congress.

How many licks does it take to get to the bottom of these hearings? The world may never know.

Is the second one from the left a Senator?

Some what funny.

What a bunch of suckers.

They seem awfully tall…

“Senator, that happens to be what we call our trade association — oh, wait a minute . . . okay, guys, first thing we do after this hearing, we fire the wiseguy in the PR department who came up with that name!”

Perfect response from the Senator: Don’t get short with me.
