If you google “pluto image on pluto,” in the list of images you can see, well, an outline of Pluto! Here’s a link to an article about it: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/pluto-pluto-disney-dog-dwarf-6069062
It took a second but I got it Jimmy. That’s why I love your strip. Sometimes you have to think about it. The realization of the joke enhances the enjoyment of the humor! Kudos for the enjoyment.
The IAU not wanting to allow more planets must be ‘Scooges’. Or maybe they just have a ‘Gearloose’ (as in Gyro). Pluto vs. Goofy? Let’s ask the Beagle Boys. ( I’ll be here all week)
True story: last night I was at a Neil DeGrasse Tyson talk in San Francisco last night. One of his slides showed two pictures of Pluto side by side and the one on the right had the outline of Disney Pluto’s face traced over a feature on the planet. (YES I SAID PLANET!!!) That man is absolutely delightful except for his wrongheaded dissing of Pluto.

The IAU is such a Mickey Mouse organization.

C’mon Arlo! That was funny. I think he’s upset that he didn’t say it first.

And they are BOTH canines, so why does Goofy wear clothes while Pluto is naked ?!?!?

Gravity interference indicates that there is a big planet orbiting past Pluto. It should be named Goofy.

So, does Janis think that the next “planet” (#10) discovered should be called “Goofy”?

The usual problem… definition. Until the foofaraw over Pluto there never was a good definition of “planet” – still isn’t in my opinion.

I’m not going to argue over some Mickey Mouse planet.
