Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 28, 2024

You don’t know the half of it

i became less interested when they dumped Bullwinkle!

Well, two out three ain’t bad. (The first one looks familiar, but I can’t put a name to it.)

Bluey blew up today when they were inflating it. Hopefully they got it repaired.

Me neither, Arlo, me neither.

Bluey is the second one

Third one may be Luffy, from One Piece.

Bluey and Luffy from “One Piece” I recognized right away, but I had to rely on the comments for #1 (Gabby’s Dollhouse.)

Right there with you.

I don’t know any of them either…

Grandkids come to the house a couple times a month; I could identify Sponge Bob and who is that pirate that reminds me of the "Clutch Cargo toons? Ohhhhoooooh

The 2 nd one is Bluey The rest ??

The third one is not for kids, I read that it is full of sexualized women and nudity.

I’m older than you, Arlo, (I think). I usually know 1/3 of the balloons and almost none of the songs and musical performers. I never thought I would be so “uncool”.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I remember watching it on TV with my mother so many years ago on Thanksgiving Day.

Have to keep current with kids’ favorites to keep their interests.

This’ll be us when the parade comes on.

It’s supposed to rain for most of the day in New York today. Won’t be much fun for the spectators.

I thought that I clicked on the wrong comic at first.

Mallard Fillmore has some advice on that.

The more things change, the older I feel.

And a quarter of the musical acts.

I recognize Bluey but that’s it. The last few parades I’ve watched, I haven’t known most of the performers.

Join the club, Arlo!

Too much “show biz.” Singers and dancers doing routines for the cameras. “Celebrities” are the highlights of the floats.

I told my kids 30 years ago, that Santa Claus made a special trip to be in the parade and this was their one chance to see the real Santa before he went back to the North Pole. They were actually excited to watch the parade waiting for that one quick look at the real Santa.

Sign here for the “too old to recognize Thanksgiving day floats” list.

We don’t know any of these characters because, as far as culture goes, this isn’t our world anymore. The shows and characters we knew as the thing to watch and follow aren’t popular with kids today. Our grandparents went through the same thing…

The kids I watched cartoons with, now have kids of their own.

Ah well, Happy Thanksgiving all.
