Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 20, 2015

And not a peep out of anyone.

Protection from the Birds of Prey. (in my area Hawks)

This reminds me of a movie about a girl named Amy :D

Mother hen.

she does’nt want the sun to cook them(before their time)…

afraid of hawks???

I think hawks would be able to figure it out.

Hawks and too much sun both explain the umbrella, but not the raincoat. I vote for protection against too many birds in the Spring sky, like Rover’s human Red would have wanted today.

Hen and Chicks plants. The site where I found this mentioned that chickens like the plant, too.

Cute Meg was introduced June 12, 2009.She had brown hair. How did it get black???

Watch your step….

Meg takes her job to heart. She’s more like a surrogate mother than a ‘business’ owner.

Who is the woman by the sink?

Thank you, JaneCI for posting the date of Meg’s first appearance. Using the calendar feature I went to the site to see how Meg used to look. The change is so stark that I wonder if someone has replaced Jimmy Johnson.

I know ducklings will follow like this, but chicks? I think chicks are too easily distracted by something to peck at on the ground.

yes.

I really don’t care for the way Meg is being drawn these days.

Meg now reminds me of the first Disney characters. I remember the steamboat cartoon I think with Mickey Mouse. (Black and White). Seems to me like Jimmy has gone back in time, or on vacation and someone else is filling in for him! I hope he brings back the original Meg. Please!

That doesn’t look like any Pageboy I ever saw. Pageboy’s are longer and smoother.

The artwork has been really good in the last couple of strips.

Poor little homely girl. I know it happens in real life, but does it have to happen in the comics, too?

My mother-in-law has that haircut……

Drove she ducklings to the water. Don’t end up like clementine!
