Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 23, 2011

Ashburn, I’m hoping that was some sort of turkey label/instructions, not a license plate…

I’d think they’d be a little more upset to find a huge metal plate inside the bird.

Speaking of which, how many guys would say “It reminds me, I’m due for a check-up”

while reaching one hand up a turkey’s…. um…. tail end?LOL

A nice reference to the first Jaws movie, where they cut open a shark and find a Louisiana license plate. Arlo even paraphrases a line from the movie in the last panel. Movies – the answer to all life’s questions.

SWUM. Must have SWUM.

Yeah, I’m sure giblets know how to swum!

in gravy…

Yeah yeah…. (hangs her head in shame)…

I’ve seen Jaws at least three or six times, but the reference flew right by me. Sorry, Ashburn….

I have GOT to stop posting at 2 am!

Meanwhile… Being more than a good bit over 40 myself… cough..

I know several guys who are in that group.

But not one who’d willingly mention it with his whole hand up a turkey!. Ok, now I have to apologize again…

susan, you know one who would! That was a standard joke when I was growing up…..I don’t know if you can still get them, (or why you would want to.) but remember when you could get a whole chicken in a can? Well, somewhere there are pictures of me putting my hand in a can and pulling out a chicken on my wrist……and making it dance on the porch……

You’re right, Varnes…. I should know by now to always make an exception for you!

LOL

And yeah, My Mom bought a canned chicken once — and only once.

I did like the guy on TV — 2nd City? No, I think “Fridays”, who made a raw chicken dance, “wearing” little toy tap shoes.

Why won’t this strip open up on the current days strip?

This even pre-dates Janis’ hair cut – wow.
