Jon: What a great night, huh, Garfield?
Jon: My Aunt Walburga used to say the stars were tiny fairies who watch over us and bring us good luck.
Jon: Then she stepped right off the edge of the canyon.
Garfield: I'm going home now.
Yes, what is that on the back of Jon’s head? It lookslike a small animal crawled up under his hair and left its nose sticking out to breath! Its NOT a meerkat!!
Quote from my Mac’s built in dictionary (Oxford American)
Walpurgis night |välˈpoŏrgis|noun(in German folklore) the night of April 30 (May Day’s eve), when witches meet on the Brocken mountain and hold revels with the Devil.ORIGIN named after St. Walburga, an English nun who in the 8th cent. helped to convert the Germans to Christianity; her feast day coincided with an ancient pagan festival whose rites were intended to give protection from witchcraft.

I don’t know what’s weirder: Jon having an aunt named Walburga, or a meerkat thinking stars are fireflies stuck up in that bluish, black thing.

I have always wondered that.

His Uncle Barbosser used to say the clouds were made of marshmallows and whipped cream. Then the aliens arrived and showed him how to do the polka.

Does anyone else think he’s not looking at the stars but instead is standing in the dark peeing?

Yup—Walburga ain’t a name you hear every day, is it? Somehow it seems fitting for Jon and his family, though …

“Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know the are happy.” Eskimo saying.
