    Ballot, Conley. Ballet is dancing.

    Semi-annual would be twice a year, so if they forget to do it annually it would be bi-annual, meaning once every two years. Nit-picky grammar aside, great strip!

    I don’t think that a Satchel “comment” is the same thing as a Darby “error.”

    Ballet is the correct answer. They wer dancing around on when to publish the paper. I dont believe it had anything to do with a ballot. The election is over.

    Sounds funnier like that; I don’t think that’s a mistake (the ballet).

    What does wiktionary say:1. A classical form of dance.2. A theatrical presentation of such dancing, usually with music, sometimes in the form of a story.

    Election ballot (or electoral circus, to be more accurate) has the same definition if you change “dance” and “dancing” with “democracy”.

    REALLY!?! You all knew exactly what Darby meant or nobody would be trying to correct him. Who cares if it’s ballet or ballot or how many times a fictional paper gets printed. It’s a comic strip, not instructions for brain surgery. Stop being so critical.

    Darby doesn’t make mistakes -Satchel and Bucky often mispronounce something so stop nitpicking and enjoy! For Wiwo, Gooselou,Cooncat, Russell and Orinoco. Satchel doesn’t know the difference between semi-annual and bi-annual and Bucky thinks ballet and ballot are the same things.

    I think “Election Ballet” opened for “Spandau Ballot,” didn’t they?

    @ailurophile17It’d have to be Chinese or similar. They’re the ones that don’t have the american ‘r’. The Japanese language doesn’t have the ‘L’ sound (despite their American automobile brands and American-born daughter names).

    According to Webster online, both semi-annual and bi-annual mean the same thing, i.e., twice a year. It may have different usage outside the states. The correct term for once every two years is biennial and every four years is quadrennial.

    are you folks really analyzing what a dog and cat are saying in a comic strip? especially a dog and cat who never use words correctly? if dogs and cats really could speak, do you think they would have a firm grasp on the english language?

    O M frikin’ GOD. Everything from “I told you so’s” to “naivity” that Mr. Conley is illiterate, to pompous “know it alls”. I like how the puppy dog and the kitty cat are talking about stuff and things and how their funny expressions make me laugh when they do so. Serenity now…serenity NOW!

    Sorry, I’ll apologize in advance for being sensitive to word usage- semiannually means every 6 months (AKA 1/2 year) and biannually would mean every 2 years. OK, I feel better now.

    with Bucky…. Ballet is the correct word. The words were dancing. Bucky thinks the word is ballet, not ballot. or…. fill in your own version.and I don’t care that the dog got the sequence wrong. It doesn’t matter. Its Satchel and he’s funny when he’s trying to explain something to Bucky.

    Ballet – once every four years is about right for me, if not TOO often.
