It may have been a re-run, but I don’t remember every panel, especially today’s. Such beautiful artwork, it’s worth a second (or third) look. Toadstools, the moon, lightning bugs, the robber mice dancing with the toads, the backup singers, the accompanist to Baba Mouse, the tambourine, the color of the sky and the grass, and the prints of their clothing. Most of all, the sense of unfettered joy as they enjoy the summer night. What’s not to like?
Queen Catshepsut the Golden: I’d like to thank Thomios for a most enjoyable kibble banquet. And a special shout out to his descendant Tommy for his wonderful apple tart dessert.
Tommy: Thank you, Your Majesty. I am amazed at the supply of apples available here in the desert.
The Queen: I have to wonder about that, too.
Agnes-Ata: We’ll never tell!
Violet-Ifa: Tomorrow Tommy and I will go to the Cosmo’s Garden and from there use the space time anemone to return him to his own time. I’ll accompany him back to 2022.
Tommy: Great! I’m looking forward to meeting another new old friend.
Thomios: Before you go, I’d like you to take this jar of Xanadu honey with you as a token of our appreciation.
Tommy: Thank you. We have nothing like it at home.
The Queen: And now it’s time for clean up and then naps!
This is such a wonderful scene. Everyone looks like they’re having such a great time, especially Natasha being thrown in the air and Alice going to town on that tambourine.
Georgia, thank you for creating such a beautiful, magical scene [sips green tea from mug with same scene]! I always feel a bit better about my life when I see this one.
Caller: A garden hose. There’s a big ole squalling bunch of critters outside my window. Sounds like they’re having either a fight or a party. I cain’t tell which with all the peeping and howling going on.
911: Has anyone been hurt?
Caller: Not yet, but there will be if you don’t do something. I have to get up a 5 a.m. to go work at the Jiffy Mart.
911: Alright, we’ll send animal control and the fire department.
Caller: Fine, could you send the Orkin man as well to take care of all the little flying critters as well. They seem to have been the ones that started all the ruckus, them and those dang little frogs.
I don’t know why I didn’t notice the four tiny microphones for the singers or that the guitarist is sitting on a (giggle) toadstool the first five times I perused the strip. Also, thanks to all who mentioned that the round thing to the right is a tambourine.

We’re gonna get it on tonight
With the moon so big and bright
The whole gang’s here, it’s such a sight
Everybody’s dancing in the moonlight!
…….
Dancing in the moonlight!
Everybody’s part of this great night!
The Christmas bugs are all alight!
Everybody’s dancing in the moonlight!
…….
Frogs and mice are dancing all night
Dogs enjoy tea with friends, a delight
It doesn’t get better than this, that’s right
Everybody’s dancing in the moonlight!

Okay, now everyone, circle to the left,
Now allemande left,
Everyone, Do Si Do,
Alright now, right grand, now left grand,
With your partner promenade. There you go,
Gentletoads swing your mice,
Now roll away and half sashay,
Mice in, toads all sashay,
Pass on thru, separate, and go home,
Everyone, face your partner and weave the ring,
Take right hands with your partner and box the gnat:

Well now if you want to play me some fiddle
I’m gonna tell you right from the start
You’d better play me some lowdown
Hoedown
Honking
I don’t want to hear no funeral march
It’s gotta pick me up and roll me over
It’s gotta make me want to jump up and sing
If it ain’t buzzing like a beehive,
Kick it into overdrive
Or it don’t mean a doggone thing!
