Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 24, 2015

It’s Hungarian. According to Google translate he said, “Merry Christmas and God will bless us , everyone!”

That might be Esperanto for meow.

Umm, something about a bulldog with a Sony boombox listening to a football game starring Minket Mindenkinek.as running back. I think.

Thanks, pearls….Hungarian? You mean like a midnight snack or something? Because I’ve got some left over stew calling to me from the fridge, right now….….

Wow, I’m Hungarian, and was quite surprised to see this! :) Although the end has some bad grammer, I guess it was originally “god bless us all”, which would be “isten áldjon meg mindannyiunkat”. In its current form it means something like: “merry christmas and god bless us, for everyone”.

G TotoI AM glad you read this comic!Thanks

Ludwig is a polyglot! Nollaig Shona Dhuit to all!

I wonder if the grammar is not quite right, or if he meant it in the infinitive, as in the greeting is meant for everyone, no exclusions. In either case, I rather like reading it in this more generous way.

I think that it’s Hungarian

Yes, it says: Merry Christmas, and God bless us everyone

My dad always pointed out the difference between “Peace on Earth, good will towards men”…..And…….“Peace on Earth to men of good will”….He liked the second one better…..I do too…..Just wish it would happen,eh?

Love this recurring theme….heard it from my Carpathian Grandmother growing up.,Merry Christmas….Happy Holidays…..and for my Pagan Buddies: Saturnalia!!!!!!!

Animals can be excused if their grammar is rusty, they only speak once per year.

Merry Christmas to all ツ

Uffda!!

Love this one. Called my 92 year old mother to translate it for me. She was tickled. Thanks.

Doesn’t anyone else wonder where the Cat learned to speak Hungarian??

in every language – in every tongue – it is wonderful to hear the word peace – and so this season may it be on more lips than ever and may it be peaceful worldwideMerry Christmas Eve

In any language, Merry Christmas and thank you for a wonderful comic strip!

Whatever cats are speaking, it’s obviously working for them. They manage to get these big dumb creatures to do their bidding and keep them fed and happy all their lives. Now that’s communication!

I’m absolutely delighted the response and depth your readers have when you touch the right subject. Good job Jimmy! You just don’t know what’s in the soup until you stir it,

LOVE IT!

To all my friends on these comics boards:<img src=””width=”350”>

Thanks for my smiles all year, and here’s hoping for many more!May you have a happy, healthy, New Year.

No matter how it sounds, cats only say a couple of things, ie: "Feed me! and “Let Me….OUT!” which sounds the same as “Let me IN!”

I’m from Hungary and I was very happy to see Hungarian words in one of my favourite cartoons (yes, not a perfect translation, but I really don’t care). Interestingly I did not hear of this tale of animals speaking on Christmas Eve as a child, it may be originating from Western-Europe or America.
