Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 20, 2020

It’s the principle of the thing, Janis! 8^ )

it’s also the shortest night. You will miss 1 second of sleep.

Isn’t it past your bedtime Janis?

And Janis always goes back for seconds.

And you use that second to be grumpier and grouchier, Janis… I’m worried about you. :-(

It only takes a second to be special.

Plenty of time.

In most places, the latest sunset is a few days after the summer solstice.

You can still celebrate that.

But again… only by seconds.

That day, the sun will also have risen a teeny bit later…

so the day length... the time between sunrise and sunset…. is actually a moment longer than on the solstice.

But it’s the late sunsets I will miss.

I’m not ready!!

The cartoonist is turning Janice into and old biddy ! Hey Arlo, find yourself a good comic lawyer and dump the biddy. You’ll be much happier

I’m with Arlo on this, and my wife doesn’t understand either

Carpe diem, Arlo. Or carpe Janis?

Crap, that means winters on its way back!

!7:44 Eastern time. Be there or be square!

Apparently the news agencies think there’s too much news to put much out there about Summer Solstice this year. I was looking forward to reading about it but some of the comics came through for us.

I must be too new to this comic. Janis does not seem to like very much of what Arlo cares about.

….and yesterday! ;o]

Janis is dragged, kicking and screaming, to learning something new today… ☺

All the Wiccans, Druids, and such will be gathered at Stone Hedge today. No sacrificing of virgins however, (sigh. . .) an endangered species, and therefore protected.

in the blink of an eye, the whole world changes from ever more light to ever more darkness in the northern hemisphere – and but for the hope that it will change again depression can descend

It’s the turning point, daylight is done and starts it’s six month journey to the darkness of winter. At least on this side of the world.

mood killer

Didn’t realize that Janis was a pessimist.

Arlo’s always the romantic; Janis is always the stickler, sigh

Last year, at this time, Arlo started whining that the days will be getting shorter.

Holy moly, it’s the solstice already! It’s too soon!

Cant we just pretend its hours longer.

It’s the bottom of winter; the days get longer from now on!If only it would get a little warmer…

At our latitude tomorrow will be 0 minutes 0 seconds longer than today. In Stockholm tomorrow will be 0 minutes 3 seconds longer.

I prefer longer nights and shorter days.

If I tell my wife that the days will now start getting shorter she will not be happy.

And it’s midsummer! The calendar is wrong….

Not even a second…a fraction thereof.

I love the long days of spring/summer.

I can’t wait for the days to get a bit shorter. Hard to go to sleep with sun coming through the window at 5 am.

We may only lose a second today, but then its 2 or 3, then minutes and by Dec. 21 it is close to 7 long hours

The longest day of the year is how we define the first day of summer.
