Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 17, 2024

Yes, last week we’re supposed to have warmer temperatures next week but I see now they’ve changed their mind.

We used to have Novembers like that here. But because of global warming and climate change we are reveling in sunny and balmy climes. All the girls are out sunbathing in their bikinis and margarita sales are off the chart. Woo Hoo.

No rain coats.

Could they send some of that rain my way? We’ve had a severe drought with red flag fire warnings for over a month now. And the early morning haze I’ve driven through is not fog. Thank goodness I still have my N95 mask. We’ve had an increase of about 1,200% over the average number of brush fires in the past month.

Rain, rain come again.

Make us wet for many days.

Rain, rain come again.

Let us breath fresh air again.

It’s warm here (relatively) in Northern Michigan. It’s creepy and unsettling. I hate it.

One of our plum trees still has all of its leaves and they are all green.

But…..but wasn’t the fourth of July just a week or two ago?

Rain! We desperately need more rain. I hope this comic is a good omen!

Down here in the South, October won’t leaf.

We could use some rain, though.

October is one of my favorite months.
