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.

Peace,
20F out now, predicted hi 41, tomorrow 35. Despite their unprettiness, blackish snowbanks thawing are welcome sights.
Peace,
Name’s Diane, but we still don’t know the backstory.

Still too dark in Decorah.
Llee, I would think a stint in rehab would be pretty likely. I hope you’ve figured out where she is and why not able to post how she’s doing.
I well remember the foot shuffle to avoid stepping on a cat. I really miss having a lot of cats. There are only two cats in this house but five dogs.
Jimmy!!! today’s strip…when my brother was in IRaq and Afghanistan, that’s what was happening! On base and off, it seemed from the few photos. Made those shipping containers into dorms, and offices and restaurants and ….
🙂
Rehab for knee replacement unlikely unless it went bad. They are doing as almost outpatient now. I would have been sent straight home and only kept one day because of lupus.
No inpatient rehab, walking first day. I think it was a month at home doing exercise here. The outpatient rehab was in Muskogee where I was last night. An hour away.
I have bone on bone for 15 years. Lack of anyone at home or to drive me has made me cancel five scheduled replacements, three surgeons, two cities, three hospital’s.
I promised Dr. Ghost I would reschedule and it is on today’s list in 15 minutes when office opens. I am keeping my promise but scared.
Llee and Smigz: I haven’t had time to go back and look, but I’m pretty sure Jean said the plan was to return home either same day or next day, and she would let us know something by the second day after. I don’t know too much about the procedure she had, but I suppose there could have been complications that required more extensive or additional procedures with longer stay time.
Don’t know what to do but wait and pray.
Those that don’t falk off ship with your biggest customers silk flowers in middle of ocean unless your company used your order to ship to Michael’s.
Like time they sent one of my customers a container full of Christmas trees prelabeled for Michaels.
Good morning, Jackie. (Well, that was strange.) I started to add to my comment, “We need to ask Jackie. She will know.”
Oh, and thanks for scheduling yours. I know you keep your promises.
I think I will pray for Jeane too, it has been way too long. Or are we all being pessimists?
no, just concerned. 🙂
Another windy day / Sask. prairie.

Believe all joint replacements here become inpatients for at least 2 nights. Some orthopods prescribe PT, some do not. Further comment inadvisable. Peace,
Ghostly Financial Advice: Always borrow money from pessimists. They won’t expect to get it back.
I’ve read “9 Chickweed Lane” for several years and sometimes the plots can be strange. I don’t know of any foreshadowing for this situation. The characters are summarized in the Wikipedia page: The nun is Sister Steven a/k/a “Sister Caligula”, the headmistress at the parochial school that the main character attended. The man in overalls is Thorax, who may be from another planet. The man in a suit is Monty, who is either a very peculiar incarnation of God or a very peculiar impostor. The woman is Diane, a former nun at Sister Steven’s convent who left it to marry her sweetheart.
The current 9CL is a rerun from back when I actually took the time to follow it daily. IIRC, it was some type of dream sequence that took place while Diane was in labor with her child by her husband and former priest (Stephen?). The iteration of Diane shown in the dream is most assuredly NOT enceinte. Nor acting particularly maternal, which will become even more evident, II also RC.
With 9CL in reruns, and Pibgorn on hiatus, something must be amiss. Perhaps Mr. McEldowney had to be treated for a severe case of smugness.
Don’t know what the pale gunk is, but a female [?] just swam through it.

Jackie will try to remember which mountain in NC she lives on. I am only sure it is Georgia.
emb – 9CL is in a rerun. Mother Superior has fallen asleep waiting on Diane (the former nun, now married to the former Father) to deliver her baby. This is her dream. Thorax is playing himself, and Monty is what he calls God.
Oops, guess I should have kept reading. What they said.
That’s OK, Lady Mindy. Just happy to hear from you. Wie geht’s?
First, I hope all is well with Jean.
I am okay. Work has gotten weirder, and tonight after I left, my boss delivered corporate-issued signs – one of which states the company is willing to pay $250 to anyone who turns in illegal/banned behavior (once it is proven). I am refraining from commenting on how this sounds to my ears, but suffices to say, it is more than time to go.
Really time to run now. My assistant is back, now just need to get out and look in earnest.
Still ignoring the elephant in the room ? Ok. Some of the Patriots won’t go to the White House, which is kind of strange when you think about it, or not.
