The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 13, 2023

Why yes, I’ll have a ham sandwich!!

Ooo…poor piglet.

Pork is such a nice, sweet meat.

What happen to Kanga and Roo?

Christopher Robin, poacher

Oh, Poo on you Scott.

For a moment I thought Owl had escaped, then I saw the broom.

It took me a while to see that Eeyore covered the chair…

well, that took a dark turn!

Is that part of Eeyore on the spit?

This would be a good toon for Halloween. BUT, Halloween this year is not on a Sunday, so …

And Christopher Robin grew up to be Shaggy from Scooby-Do.

Oh, “Pooh”-hoo!

Well Scott, you just ruined a great story by having Christopher Robin kill off Pooh and the rest.

ouch

Not funny

Oh the tragedy!

Compare with today’s “The Flying McCoys”

That just made me sad

Oh bother!

Say it isn’t so!

Christopher Clubbed Us

sick, but funny

Ouch! there goes my childhood

No. Just no.

I guess some would find this funny.

Who’s hanging on the coat rack?

I knew that Christopher Robin went to his grave still hating his father for writing those books but…man he really went dark here.

Oh no!

That’s Awful!!

made into curtins and a lampshade

Christopher Robin could been shown wearing a Kangol hat, which uses a kangaroo logo.

Oof. Nothing is sacred.

The Flying MCCoys features Eeyore as well

In 1956, while a R.I.S.D. classmates enjoyed reading Winnie The Pooh Stories. Dialog was wonderful. Much later I drove to a bridge over the Passaic River in NJ & got a number of people playing ‘Pooh Sticks’ Cop came by to check out what the people were doing, & eventually tossed a stick in the river. We’d go to the other side to see who was the winner. Now halfway to 88 I refuse the act my age, & still manage to keep the rust off the strings of my Tenor & 5 string banjos:

Nobody wants pooh on their floor

Just needs a Puff lampshade.

Can we still say Tigger?

Eyore: I won’t sit still for this.

Christopher Robin: Oh yes you will.

Well gosh, that’s just horrible.

Dark

TTF – “Ta Ta Forever”.

Now it’s nothing but Pooh…

One time I was 101 acres big.

Not funny.

Dang! I don’t want to see the humor but…..weak smile.

Can you use Pooh wearing a red shirt? Thought that was still copywrite protected.

Boo.

Would PETA get involved? (They are all imaginary after all.)

Booo.

look’s like some ones seen w-t-p:blood and honey horror movie

Dark, and not funny.

I think whenever an artist takes a beloved children’s icon and debases it with death and dismemberment images, it says a lot about the torment of the artist’s inner life. It is a pitiful cry for help from a hurting soul.
