Cat Fall

By Jimmy Johnson

We at Arlo & Janis do not think hitting a cat in the head with a door is funny. In our defense, this one just sort of slipped by quality control. In fact, we think physical humor is disgusting, and we are very excited to be present at the dawn of a glorious era, the digital production of comics. In the future, when every panel is a cut-and-paste copy of the initial panel, with only the dialog—and maybe an eyebrow—changing from start to finish, physical humor in the comics will become all but impossible and will disappear from our consciousness altogether. We live for that day.

    Thanks, RA. Thanks also for the humor, OB, though I would have seen it in this morning’s newspaper anyway.
    Indeed, David, many happy returns of the day, as you might consider the day a kind of rebirth.

    Happy Valentine’s Day to you, Laura (making you the first of the day to receive that Ghostly Greeting), and to everyone in the Village. Especially the ladies, of course. <3

    Good morning and happy Valentines Day to my favorite people. I wish I could give all of you a hug and wish you knew what a huge part of my life you were.

    Love is the most important of the graces, hope, faith, charity and love, the cornerstones of our lives.

    And yes, before someone tells me there are three I know but I am from New Orleans and that is a New Orleans insider joke involving an elaborate mausoleum. Which has four corners and an extra grace.

    Love you and as a friend says, smooches to everyone. XXXXXXXX
