Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 26, 2022

This one is beyond me. How about a little help?

Huh… this is one of the few comics that don’t have a reference to Peanuts.

Just thinking about tacos give Janice heartburn? I don’t see the humor either. What is it? What am I missing here?

Oy! Janis!

It’s not even Tuesday

Perhaps “taco” is some kind of code.

Could be just the intro to a short story line

Is she thinking about another way to get rid of the turkey?

A reference to, what would have been Charles Schultz’s 100th birthday would have been better.

Arlo and Janis did a great Peanuts tribute back in 1997 (!). The whole week’s worth of strips can be seen here…

OK, this one’s got even me stumped.

“It happens this time every year” is the only clue. Maybe tomorrow we’ll find out.

Well, I do actually feel like that today. And no, I didn’t overeat at Thanksgiving or leftovers either.

On the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving; the song that played was The Heartburn Walts.

How about seeing a few weeks of Gene & Mary Lou & Meg? Please??

Yeah, I don’t get it.

The only time thinking about tacos gives me indigestion is when I’m recounting the number I ate over the smaller number I should have eaten.

Schulz is dead! Long live Johnson!

Too much of a stretch to be a tribute to Schulz, even if he did once (maybe?) mention a taco. Why no real tribute, Jimmy? BTW, you can see most all the cartoonists who did recognize Charles Schulz on the 100th anniversary of his birth here – https://schulzmuseum.org/tribute/

Oversensitive

Could it have to do with Auburn at Alabama football game today?

Turkey Fajitas!

I saw this last night and went on by. No clue. The only close reference I can think of is turkey Tamales. I get heartburn from them for eating more than I should. Maybe it was a reference to the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving after all.

It is a tribute to Sparky. If you search Charlie Browns tacos you’ll fine a variety of Charlie Brown restaurants selling deep fried tacos. One is in Almont MI but there are many more.

It’s a tribute to Sparky. If you search Charlie Browns tacos you’ll find several restaurants with Charlie Brown in their name that serve deep fried tacos. One is in Almont MI and there are several other Charlie Brown type restaurants that serve tacos. I’ve run across pictures of Snoopy eating one and Charlie Brown eating one.
