Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 08, 2016

No, no way.

a heavy base so Ludwig can’t move it?

Only nice looking glassware gets broken…..the ugly ones never break, just the nice ones.

Playing head games with Luddy?

No, Arlo. Just No.

ok but only for others that ugly pottery that’s used as a door stop by aunt Lucy that is bought for a cat bowl is one of a kind art deco from 1933 the only left that survived the fire ,flood and you have it . I saw this one on Antique Road Show . worth in todays market about …… or not .

No clue. None.

Since added to my paper, this strip has had so many days that just don’t seem to have a point.

Design-wise it looks like it’s a no-spill model.

Use this site to review the past few months (or years) before you pass judgement. I think you’ll learn to love Arlo and Janis. Also vist arloandjanis.com to get more insight into the mind of this cartoonist.

UMMMM

?

I thought it looked like an upside-down “cone of shame.” If Ludwig had to wear one, the cat bowl would bring the food to where he could eat it.

In my first “meet the family” encounter, I impressed them with my ability to handle two conversations simultaneously (required). I noticed a stoneware ocarina used as a doorstop and had to try it. “Hey everybody, Paul’s playing the doorstop” All conversations ended. It only played three notes, but her grandfather gave me one of his fifes. Not bad, a fife and a wife.

I have read this strip for years, and every so often I understand it…………….

I thought maybe it was for Luddie to try and squeeze into. Cats like to get into small spaces sometimes…

I’ve got nothing that sticks.All I can think of is that when I was sitting my landlords’ longhair cats, a good amount of the dry food would end up on the wood floor or cat mat around the bowl. When I’d arrive, the cat whose bowl it was would cry for more, even though there was plenty on the floor. (They also got wet food, which disappears pretty quickly.)

Lifelong cat person here and I’ve got nothin’. A cat won’t stick his face where his whiskres rub the sides. A dog will find a way no matter where the food is.

Spenser’s (Robert B. Parker) favorite comic strip.

Cats like tight spaces.

Maybe someone can explain this tomorrow?

ugly pottery is almost an oxymoron

lol…..Arlo you are a perfect nut job.

Could make a nice beer mug….

Slice of life strips portray life as it is or may be. It is not always funny but hopefully it is thought provoking. It may take days to resolve or it may just end without an answer. For me Arlo hits a memory more often than not. Sorry you are missing out on all the fun.

Anyone who has a cat knows that they will eat until a “hole” appears that exposes the bottom of the dish. A cone shaped dish would prevent the “hole” from forming.

Because he won’t be able to see the bottom of the bowl? If there’s any food left, it’ll automatically cover the bottom?

@Chris Kalin

Exactly!

I thought it was a water bowl for a cocker spaniel. It would keep the ears dry.
