The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 19, 2023

wearing nothing but a smile!

Pardon me, boy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes…..

He’s out leaving business cards for his plumbing side hustle. Never a more appropriate description.

Nice trait to have!

No wonder he’s smiling, being able to avoid his MIL like that.

He’s actually home a lot more than it seems. He’s usually around here somewhere. He’s happy not to be seen all the time.

He tried to get a college degree, but the only exams he could pass were the orals.

I like that this puts two old things together to make a new twist.

“And why is the TV on?”

Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.

She’ll never know!

“I just hope he isn’t out fooling around with that Alice hussy.”

Mother-in-law: “Then why is the TV on?“

I’ve often seen a cat without a smile, but never a smile without a cat (with apologies to Lewis Carroll)

Odd cat teeth … someone crossed cat DNA with The Cat Person.

Sometimes a little transparency is a good thing.

Wipe that smile off your . . . well, um . . . just get rid of that smirk.

He’s a branch manager.

Thanks to the pandemic a lot of … um … us are working from home these days.

he’s visibly pleased…

So, they cannot see nor hear the television he is watching . . . ?
