Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 04, 2012

is this a commentary on daylight savings time?

Yes, I’m here to set your clocks back.

We’ll just queue up around the coffee table and down the hall till it’s time…

That’s what we get for trying to sneak in on Saturday night…

Uh oh…. is the bathroom gonna be an hour late too?

What a big hand you have, grandpa!

Wonder what Arlo will be doing for that hour we’re waiting?

A little Ferris Bueller action.

Ah… that’s true! To continue the Ferris Bueller theme would be to wait in this kitchen scene until the very end of the day.

Arlo would come back in before bed and query, “You’re still here?! Go. Shoo. Thanks for coming. Off you go…”

no fair!I came back an hour later and it was still the same strip

He needs that big hand for that huge light switch on the wall…

I might vote for him if he would abolish DST.

Love breaking that fourth wall..

i say if we’re serious about saving daylight, we should change the clocks twice a day, not just twice a year! Forward at 2PM. back at 2 AM!

Arlo,

I’m not here too early. I’m here for the coffee.

A&J is one of the best strips when it comes to breaking the 4th wall.

Arlo not only broke the fourth wall, he ground it into glass-dust.BTW, all you perspicacious explainers: Can anyone tell me what the symbol is on the guy’s head in the Nov. 2 Bizarro_?http://www.goupstate.com/article/99999999/MULTIMEDIA/111129793?featureid=Bizarro&featuredate=2012-11-02

Gokie —

Just because I love a puzzle….

First, your link requires several steps to follow, so here’s a more direct one

Hope it works!

(OK…. it does, but you have to give it a moment to open.)

I didn’t recognise the symbol though…similar to, but not, The Flying Spaghetti Monster…

So I actually (and here’s the obsessive puzzle-lover part)DREW it, and did a Google drag ’n drop image search, with no results.

it could be partial…. but I’d think Google would have found a similarity.

Anybody?

Gokie — you’re welcome to download my drawing and search elsewhere.

Is THAT what it is, CoBass?

I think you’re right…(you usually are… LOL )

Here’s one of those pseudo-alien ones (oh please ) that looks quite similar.

Thanks once again, CoBass!

There are not many crop circles in Texas. It is still a felony to damage crops.

Thanks, Susan and CoBass! If I find anything that definitively identifies the alien barber’s crop circle, I’ll let you know. Right now, I’d guess that it’s an alien’s generic version of a crop circle.
