The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 02, 2022

Maine the Rock Johnson (I couldn’t use the second word of the breed).

Not being killed by something doesn’t always make someone stronger. Many survive traumatic injury, but are maimed for the rest of their life.

Pizza doesn’t kill me and it certainly doesn’t make me stronger.

The making of Charles Catlas.

What doesn’t kill you, makes you stranger.

Curiosity never killed anything except for a few hours.

Clichéd to death’s door.

All that’s left is the cat toss.

Look out, Mighty Mouse!

Looks more like Optimus Cat.

“Good Lord – I’ve heard about this – cat juggling! Stop! Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Good. Father, could there be a god that would let this happen?”

That cat is ripped, Van Winkle!

that room’s too small to swing a cat…

Is that (Is he) Thing-Cat (part of the Fantastic Four Felines)?

Pussycat possesses prodigious, protruding pecs. Possibly procured from painstaking power-purring.

He was very curious

…plus he’s only on his second life cycle…he’ll be fine!

Looks like Fantastic Four’s The Thing’s cat.

A Nietzsche joke!

What doesn’t kill you may make you a physical wreck.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… unless it leaves you permanently maimed.

Maybe this will happen. Check out today’s Non Sequitur.

So THAT’S how you get swole quickly!

Most of us seniors now call it dropped physique.

When I’m lying in bed like that, with my legs slightly spread apart, it doesn’t take long for the intervening space to be filled by one or another cat. We refer to it as the Valley of Comfort.

but the quote goes: curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back

Curiosity: The gamma radiation for cats.
