And another Argyle Sweater, this one from Targuman.
If you enjoyed that one, you may already know about the “Peccavi” incident.
The movie on which this joke is based was released in 1977: 47 years ago. Ordinarily, that would qualify for a Geezer tag.
Thanks to Darren for sending this in and commenting —
If it were “Look out. Skydivers”, I’d understand. But that they’re supposed to be BASE jumpers, I don’t get. Does that mean that the angels are down low or that there’s something unseen to jump from up super high? And are the (parachuteless?) wingsuits important?
BillR and his wife do have a theory about this..
“Best the wife and I can come up with is, that’s how granny cut up his sandwiches as a boy.”
Thanks to Rob S. for sending this in (and introducing some of us to the Bacön strip):

GoComics is running some vintage “B.C” under the title “Back to B.C.”. This strip is from 1966 and seems to be in sequence with others from that time.
