Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 07, 2013

Transcript:
For a special, bonus episode of A&J, updated for Comet Ison events, visit: ArloAndJanis.com.
Arlo: You gotta see this! There's this weird writing in the sky!
I never noticed it before—-the way Arlo walks in panel two reminds me of the way the wide-trousered, stiff legs walked in Crockett Johnson’s cartoon “Barnaby”!
Bonus: Halley’s wasn’t too bad, Kahutek (however it is spelled) was the anti-climax. On the other hand, Hale Bop was a joy. Once solar gravity takes over, it is anyone’s guess.
This is all very cool, including the bonus strip on the website today. The interest in and excitement about the comet, and also the opportunity to share in the sense of disappointment that it got vaporized, helped honor the literally cosmic nature of the event as a whole.

Thank you Jimmy! I’ve only seen one other of those hats since my Grandfather wore them over 40 years ago. Panel 1 brought back many fond memories.

The bonus comic is great, in a broken fourth wall sense.

As for ISON, it was a solar system scale demonstration of “a snowball’s chance in hell”
