Speaking of GoComics, I want to direct your attention to a new feature on the A&J home page there. It is “The Best of Ludwig the Cat.” Actually, it isn’t the best, but that is what the feature is called. It is a selection of a dozen or so Ludwig comics from 2004, chosen by myself and the friendly GoComics staff at Andrews McMeel Universal. And don’t ask me why Arlo is wearing white pants. I didn’t color the daily comics at that time. The idea is, of course, to attract your eyeballs, but at least we are committed to giving them something mildly entertaining to look at. The “Best of…” list will change occasionally, so watch for it. I hope you enjoy “The Best of Ludwig the Cat.”

Great retro, Jimmy. For me it was laugh out loud funny.
Is there any reason why Arlo WOULDN’T wear white pants (or should I wait to look at that strip before asking?)
If you’re into astronomy and science:

I had a pair of white pants years ago. They look nice…for about 15 minutes. Never again. I wear white shirts to church, but then there is little opportunity to really get them dirty. The collars are another deal.
Steve, having been in the Navy with summer whites as a uniform, I can say you are right about how fast they get dirty. I recall one guy who went to Disney World on liberty from boot camp, came back with the seat of his pants brown. Turned out he was busy chatting up a woman and didn’t notice he was about to sit on someones brownie that was in his chair.
“Ice cream pants”, we called them. Actually wore them as a young buck, with aloha shirts. That was after I got over being shy.
emb, some of these are worse than the Nutria name foul-up: https://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/the-20-worst-brand-translations-of-all-time.html
Sailor: I swear! I sat on a brownie!
Shore Patrol: Suuure you did.
I don’t get this one.
Think of the old Westerns, when the villain walked into the saloon and everything stopped, including the guy playing piano.
I see the Nova issue was addressed.
Didn’t Esso change to Exxon so there were no misunderstandings?
as I recall.
I can’t seem to find the list ‘best of Ludwig’? Or am i missing something?
I would like to see best of gene & family rather than cat
Moi, click on the banner that says read today’s Arlo& Janis. Best of Ludwig is to the right of the daily strip.
Everyone out visiting today? The lack of chatter is fairly unusual here.
One needs to click “overview” to see the “Best of Ludwig” right of the partial comic. At least, that’s how it works here.
As some of you know, Jackie and I are busily preparing to open “Deals – A Women’s Boutique” as a companion to “Steals – A Women’s Boutique”. (That, along with Jackie’s chemo treatments, explains why we’ve been a bit scarce in the Village of late.) Today, as a way to cheer up the staff I asked them to come up with some names for other business, should we decide to diversify. (Ha!) We came up with the following:
Heels – A Ladies’ Shoe Store
Wheels – An Automotive Accessory Shop
Meals – A Diner
Peels – A Fruit Stand
Peals – A Bell Store
Thrills – A Halloween Supply Store
Chills – A Halloween Haunted House
Spills – A Tavern
Teals – A Pet Duck Store
Appeals – A Bail Bond Agency
And last but not least…
Feels – A Massage Parlor
Spiels – a speech-writing firm
Squeals – barbeque restaurant
Appeals – law firm
Seals – aquatic mammal dealer
Zeals – I don’t know, but they do it with gusto.
BoL – They are all true.
Ours prefer Sliced Turkey to Sardines.
2 will not eat ANY human food.
Thursday night, using my telescope at 44x, I viewed a binary pair: Alcor & Mizar in Ursa Major. To the naked eye it looks like a single bright star. Through the telescope they are obviously 2 separate stars.
I also viewed Jupiter at 110x. In Provo’s light-polluted sky I could easily see the Galilean moons and also make out 3 or 4 bands across Jupiter’s disk as it bounced around in my field of view.
If we ever have a Friday or Saturday night with decent viewing, I’ll be heading up into the mountains! Last year when I worked noon to 4 it was easier to stay up late.
Jimmy, I know the truth in today’s strip. The cat will come when it wants, not necessarily when you want it to.
I hadn’t see this commercial regarding the critters…

TruckerRon, Jimmy’s posted a new retro and you’re posting on the older one.
