The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 18, 2017

Don’t rock the boat, Cal.

Location, location, location. Stay at the dock. People with boats have to have money to keep up those “holes in the water into which you pour money”.

Probably got tired of yelling "Ahoy ".

That’s the bad news. The good news is that it’s only a three hour tour.

Waiting for that next wave of shoppers.

Cal had to bow out after a few hours, his Captain was very stern with him.

He’d have joined the Salvation Air Force, but they wouldn’t let him fly with those glasses.

He wasn’t even helped by the Christmas seals.

Hey, GoComics, why the redundant “⤷Reply” line when you’ve already got a “Reply” option immediately above it? It’s just irritating. It used to appear only when there actually were replies. Was this another “improvement” that nobody wanted?

On the other hand, most of his donations are fins.

He’s expecting a whale of a donation.

I hear that the Salvation Navy Band consists of mostly tubas, because they play below (middle) C level.

The Salvation Empire with its S. Army, S. Navy, S. Air Force, S. Marines and soon S. Space Navy! Salvation for your soul out of a barrel of a gun? Been upping their numbers by magnitudes. They will defend your state, district, city or even block all you have to do is to call them in and donate.

cal’s always been out at sea anyway…

Maybe he should transfer to the Swiss Coast Guard…

The Salvation Air Force must have it even worse.
