Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 31, 2020

Thank God for small favors, we do have one day less than last year.

I suppose the first three panels represent the earth completing its circuit around the sun!?

I like this better.

NO social distancing.

Eh, technically we’re not. While we’ve completed a lap around the sun, the sun is continuing its journey. The spot where we were is a long way back.

the earth obit the sun , the sun follow the obit around the galaxy center,

Functionally, 2020 doesn’t really end until January 20 at noon.

I have just completed reading all of the A&J offered on GoComics this year. Today I read all of the 12/31 comics so I have come back to where I started last year so to speak as well!

Party safely everyone!

And now we’re back where we started,

Here we go round again.

Day after day I get up and I say

I better do it again. – Sir Ray Davies, CBE

Back in my day that was Astronomy 101 at University of Michigan with Professor “Doc” Hazel Losh, a beloved faculty member for many years.https://heritage.umich.edu/stories/doc-losh/

The proverbial s**t didn’t hit the fan until March of 2020! ;o{

Well Arlo, though it may seem that way, it is better than a good many alternatives.

We lost another good one, and even more unfortunately, due to Covid: Dawn Wells… ☹️

Here’s a good article, and be sure to check at least some of the comments. One says (not a direct quote) “if only the vaccine had come a bit earlier”…

All the HAPPY NEW YEAR wishes of a year ago didn’t work, try harder this year!

Does she kill the messenger now or later…..

We are at least 6,324,480,000 kilometres from our starting point last year.

Don’t be such a buzzkill Arlo.

…who knows what’s coming – Mad Max was set in 2021…

What could possibly go wrong?

Being back where we started isn’t all bad, considering the ones that didn’t make it back. :-(

2020 24 hours to go. Happy Ramones day!

No, it is another turn of the calendar, though it is starting where we started last year etc…

I don’t think 2021 can be near as bad as 2020!
