Meet the Artist: Scott Hilburn
No review of new hilarious comics would be complete without a bow to the creative force behind them: Scott Hilburn. Since launching The Argyle Sweater in 2008, Hilburn has earned a cult following among comic fans and meme lords alike. His work is syndicated by Andrews McMeel and Universal Uclick, reaching millions every week. Hilburn’s signature style? A blend of absurdist humor, razor-sharp puns, and wacky visual setups—think classic Far Side with a modern, pop-culture twist
#1. Batting Cleanup, Literally
Nothing like a baseball pun to start! This panel has the maid of honor (literally) up to bat, and if you’ve ever wondered what “batting cleanup” looks like, Scott Hilburn spells it out—complete with apron and feather duster. Home run for wordplay!
#2. Back Issues, Chiropractor-Approved
A chiropractor reads an ad for People Magazine promising “all our back issues”—you can practically hear the dad joke groan echo across the waiting room. Punny and painfully perfect for anyone with, well, back issues.
#3. Five Guys… or Just Half a Guy?
When your burger joint is named “5 Guys” but the counter is suspiciously understaffed, it’s time for some customer snark. This comic takes a bite out of fast food expectations—serving up laughter on the side.
#4. Chicken Tinder—Swipe Right for White Wine
Dating is hard. It’s even harder if you’re a chicken on “Chicken Tinder.” Thighs, eggs, and wine pairings—this poultry parody is for anyone who’s braved online dating (and lived to tell the tale).
#5. Giant Dog Attack? Call the Vacuum Squad!
Kaiju movies, meet housework. As a giant dog terrorizes the city, it’s up to a league of vacuum-wielding housewives to save the day. If Godzilla ever feared a Hoover, this is why.
#6. Gas Station Relief—Bird Edition
Long road trips, desperate bathroom breaks… but with birds? This multi-panel comic delivers classic family vacation pain, avian-style, with a twist ending that’ll have you squawking.
#7. TP or Not TP—The Prehistoric Prank
Ever wonder what life was like before toilet paper? Scott Hilburn’s take: lots of outdoor “heathens” and leafy substitutes. A little gross, a lot of funny—totally relatable.
#8. Helicopter Pest Control: Cockroach Edition
Giant cockroaches in the city? Send in the helicopter and the world’s most passive-aggressive bug zapper. You’ll never look at your exterminator the same way again.
#9. Godzillow—App-ly Destructive
Godzilla meets Zillow in this monster mashup—because even city-stomping creatures worry about real estate values. Download the app, but maybe don’t mention your credit score.
#10. Elk-oholics Anonymous
“My name’s Coty and I’m an elk-oholic.” If animal puns are your thing, this AA spoof is your comic soul mate. Everyone in the group is rooting for Coty… hopefully with some root beer.
#11. Who’s Y? Alphabet Gang Confusion
The alphabet gang’s classic “who’s on first?”-style bit is pure linguistic chaos. If you’ve ever been caught in a loop of “Who’s there?” jokes, you’ll appreciate this letter-perfect punchline.
#12. Make Up Your Mind! Exclamation vs. Question
An exclamation point vents to a question mark about indecisiveness—yes, punctuation has feelings too. Grammar nerds, this one’s for you!
#13. Change the Lightbulb—Or the Oven?
A hapless chef sends someone to change the “lightbulb” inside a hot oven. This comic is proof that sometimes the most obvious answer is not the right one.
#14. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Right
When your husband suddenly starts cleaning, buying jewelry, and adoring your mother-in-law, is it love or just a suspicious potion? This twist on the classic tale is every sitcom marriage in a nutshell.
#15. Airplane Mode Misunderstood
A smartphone takes “airplane mode” literally—with tragic (and darkly hilarious) consequences. Tech support, anyone?
#16. Kevlar? Nope, Fruitcake Vests
Police budget cuts have never been funnier. Forget Kevlar—the real protection is Aunt Lorraine’s bricklike holiday fruitcake. Deliciously absurd.
#17. Aging Charlie Brown
What if Charlie Brown aged like the rest of us? This comic keeps the look but adds the… well, gravity. An affectionate nod to comic strip nostalgia.
#18. Knights of the Round-Up Table
Lawncare goes Arthurian as King Arthur and his crew swear fealty to the “lawns of Camelot.” If you love medieval puns (and neighborly drama), you’ve found your grail.
#19. Statin Island—For Heart-Healthy Real Estate
Move over, Manhattan. Statin Island has all the lower cholesterol jokes your cardiologist could ask for. This one’s heart-smart and smile-inducing.
#20. Barracuda Wuda Shuda
Regrets, fin-style. This undersea confessional hits all the “shoulda woulda coulda” notes—with extra bite.
