The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 31, 2022

Pops has a Marvel-less sense of humor.

Rehashing the origin story for the fiftieth time is a superpower!

Farting confidently THAT SURELEY IS ONE!!!

Making it all the way to the toilet in the middle of the night without an accident!!!!

how about common sense???

I can find the remote in a single bound No I can’t where is that thing

Marvel writer to him/her/they/them self: “Geez, if only I were invisible…….Hey…….”

Isn’t everyone tired of working at home since the COVID pandemic started?

HAPPY NEW YEAR‼️

“How about that giant mole on my back…the one with the hair in the middle? That thing perks up when it’s about to rain!!”

Okay, maybe menu reading in a dimly lit restaurant is not such a bright idea and the arranging pills thing is sort of too ordinary. How about someone who can find their way somewhere by using a map?

“… and all the pills are the same size, shape, and color!!!”

Ageist “humor”

These sounds like valid super powers to me.

How about opening some of the food jars that are obviously screwed on tight by the Hulk? That’s gotta be a super-power!

I sort my pills into little boxes for each day of the week!

How about telling Dad jokes?

Stan Lee would have had something to say about that!

Able to stand up from a chair WITHOUT using the arm rests!!

My smartphone light and magnifier helps with those size 2 font pill bottles. Also with some of their like-font descriptions that fold out to the size of my dining room table.

I can remember what I came into the room for.

I see that it is his Dad that’s trying to give him ideas. If it was his mother he could use her “super powers”; especially if she was like mine. I always considered her ability to know what I was thinking and wanting to do before I said anything a super power. And I am SURE she really DID have eyes in the back of her head.

Way too many things are called “superpowers” nowadays. Things like being nice, or being helpful, or being a good listener are commendable qualities. Are we really so needy that we have to call them “superpowers”?

The puns are great and all, but it is nice to see a straight up funny comic. He used to do a lot more of these.

Reading in dim light’s bad for the eyes, just like listening to music at low volume is bad for the hearing. Oh yeah: Trump won in 2020 but the election was stolen. Also: the earth is flat (just look!)

dad’s definitely a marvel…

Those are better ideas than the ones Marvel “writers” have had for decades.
