The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 12, 2022

no more hanging a round, you took your shot and missed, we don’t need a worker of your caliber!

That’s not a Derringer, but yeah.

You’ve been discharged. There’s a notice on the bullet in board.

Ain’t no uzi complaining,

I’ll shoot through then. This place is a big bore.

Another day at the NRA.

You can’t have a guy in the office who just goes off half-cocked.

And g’lock with your job search.

Your girl is hotter than a pistol I hear!

I went to a shotgun wedding once it was a double barreled affair

Walther you go.

His only option was semi-automatic.

But I thought that guy was casing the joint.

That’s an automatic firing offense. It’s safety first around here. If your girlfriend complains I’ll silencer too. Don’t forget to take your muffler!

Stop shooting your mouth off, your discharged!

he’s fired, but he’s already been fired…

I wonder what triggered this.

Sounds like he should get a handle on things.

Get on you Colt and get out of town, this holster isn’t big enough for the two of us.

Tommy’s been gunning for him since he got there.

Looks like he’s dropped the hammer on you.

Before he left, he rifled through the company files and found photos of Tommy in a nude magazine and got his job back.

But but, what are you aiming at…..nooooo, not the keg of powder….

BADA BING BADA BANG!!!

Jeeze. Where’s Gun Control when you need it?

These are not high calibre jokes.

Okay. I didn’t want rifle stock in this shell company anyway.

I always liked the Beatles “Revolver” album.

The Chicago Typewriter Manufacturing Company.

Derringer is his name. The rifle is Wesson

He’s now the butt of the joke.

His career trajectory is now down.

Gak! 5 puns in one cartoon!

It takes a lot of brass to publish a comic of this caliber. The artist must have been hammered when he came up with this. I hope no one is triggered and goes off half-cocked.

Why you sawed off little #%@$###

It must be a drawing of Derringer penis envy.

Blankety-blanks! All the good bad jokes are taken!

Now don’t go ballistic.

Yeah, instead we’re keeping your bone-idle fellow “worker” who shoots only blanks.

Someone Colt out your behaviour to HR.

The guy was clearly a loose cannon.

The real reason he got fired is he didn’t use bullet points on the last memo.

so bad…
