Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 19, 2016

OK why do we have Arlo at two different ages and are frogs really bilingual?

Correct. Arlo is way off in nostalgia dreamland. The sound of the frogs are taking him back to fond memories of his childhood.

Peepers……..early sign of spring…..Tree frogs will be out in a couple of weeks…..

Sixties acid flashback.

Sounds and smells are the two greatest triggers of memories of our past.

Love peepers.

The peepers started here March 8th, they (along with red winged blackbirds) make the sweetest spring music in the world!

I never seen or hears spring peepers, being from California, but it was easy enough to find https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_peeper

“…lost in the 60’s again.”

love sitting outside in the summer in Texas and listening to the “night birds”, also known as frogs, crickets, and a few birds that actually fly around at night. Also early morning listening to the doves and birds starting to wake up…….clears your mind and lets you get ready for the day, no matter what you have to do. Love Arlo’s expression in panel 4.

My favorite spring sound. You can buy tapes of this and other nature sounds.

When you hear the peepers at night, you know everything is all right., It’s when they stop that you know something or someone is prowling.Tree frogs already out here in East Texas, although the night temps are forecast as unusually low this coming week after the warmest winter I can remember.

Peepers are an eastern thing, like fireflies. We had them in PA when I was growing up. Not out here in the wild west. Miss them both sometimes.

Got peepers in Jersey…

Lost in a fond memory…

Ahh The Olllddd BASF . Think of Don Knotts an you got it .

bawana asked: “So, are “peepers” a southern thing?”I live on the Massachusetts / New Hampshire border, and we have peepers here staring the middle of March. They are the best sound in the world, especially after a hard winta.

(I trigger on music related words, such as “peepers” and nearly every sentence has a few.)

Typical Liberal viewpoint. Nobody has a right to express an opinion that doesn’t agree with the Liberal mindset. I’ll continue to cling to my religion, constitutional rights and my guns.

We don’t have peeper frogs in Western Canada,our frogs go Ribitt,Ribitt.they won’t be around for a while yet anyway.

No peeps yet in this part of Michigan…but red wing blackbirds, robins, and I saw one heron last week.

@Luvthempluggers

What are these bilingual frogs you’re talking about ?

Welcome to the real world. Go out and buy yourself an umbrella. Better yet, ask the idiot in the White House to buy you one.

I miss the noise — had them at the last place I lived and now, nothing…
