A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

Two Cats Walk in a Bar…

By Jimmy Johnson

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
Obviously, I’m limping along in June, but I appreciate you checking back. I know you did, or you wouldn’t be reading this. We haven’t had an old cat cartoon in a while, have we? I hear from a lot of Ludwig lovers that he is the most realistic cat in the funnies. I take pride in that. However, we all know he’s really a cartoon character and is allowed to stray. I think Ludwig earned his reputation, because the cat humor in the strip usually isn’t. Cat humor, I mean. He primarily serves as a foil for the humans; the best cat humor—in my opinion—is about how the humans perceive and relate to their feline pet, and that seems very real, because we all behave similarly.

    FYI.

    Interesting item. At the end, they ask have they left any [table] fish out. They’ve mentioned only 4 in detail; no eel, for instance. But maybe they’ve covered the waterfront in terms of behavioral and other factors, and company shenanigans.

    Good morning Villagers…..

    GR 😉 sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me 🙂 AND, I don’t EVEN want to know what a ‘string theory’ is.

    Rick…I’d forgot about the APOD…used to have it bookmarked, now I do, and that is one cool photo. Thanks.

    Ruth Ann….I’m not sure what room temp is, but I’ll tell you one thing, room temp in the hen house at one o’clock yesterday afternoon was 91 degrees!!!! But it’s very important not to wash fresh farm eggs straight from the hen….it’s the ‘bloom’ that keeps them fresh. Once they reach the Corp and are washed, the bloom is washed off, so once refrigerated, they need to stay refrigerated, Here’s a link, and I hope it’s the right one:

    Miss Charlotte, please click on the link, and scroll down for the egg skelter they use in Europe. You mentioned getting eggs from your daughter, and they display their eggs on the counter in this ‘skelter’….pretty cool looking, but I wonder once they roll, would that not create a ‘crack’?

    Again…going in early to beat this heat wave we’re having right now. Didn’t drink enough water yesterday and tired out early…..lesson learned.

    ya’ll have a blessed day

    Debbe, why are telling me your stats? Virgin Mindy is the official score keeper. Come to think of it, probably explains her virginal status.
