Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 06, 2019

Funnel Janis, funnel.

Depends on where you are on our oblate spheroid of a planet as it rotates on its axis.

I can think of another use for that pan, Janis.

The more careful you try to pour, the harder it is to get a consistent stream.

It actually rotates only once per day. I think Arlo is speaking of the speed that it goes as it moves around when the Earth rotates.

Way to go Arlo.

Janis now has a use in mind when she gets that skillet cleaned up.

I think Arlo just earned the right to pour it himself and clean up afterward.

Psyched!

Just remember that you’re standing …

I can’t stop laughing at the look on her face this is the funniest comic I’ve seen in a while

Since objects at the Equator are moving at ~ 1000 mph and he says they are moving at 600 mph they have to be at 53.1° north latitude (or south, but I doubt that).

That puts them in Alaska, Canada, the British Isles or norther Europe or Asia.

Only if you believe those “round earthers.”

That was mean, Arlo. Just mean! There will be consequences.

She way trying to save the truffle infused oil.

The kitchen is hurtling through space, somewhere on the perimeter of sphere that is revolving, but I would only describe the kitchen as “revolving” if it is located at the North or South Pole.

To the moon, Arlo! To the moon!

I’ve been trying to figure out what she’d be pouring into a labelled, narrow necked, bottle from a skillet….

likely used cooking oil, of course…. and as Tyge said… maybe it’s something special….

though I’d guess not truffle oil, which in my experience comes in tiny bottles, to be added by the drop to a finished dish.

I don’t do deep frying, and don’t use enough oil when sauteing to save…

but those who do:

Don’t you pour it into a paper towel or cheesecloth lined strainer, and funnel it into a separate container?

I wouldn’t pour it back, full of food particles, into the original bottle and let it mix with the unused oil.

OK… maybe I’m just up too late…. :)

That speed is nothing compared to the 66,000 MPH the Earth is moving around Sol

I recommend a funnel. Whole sets of them are available for a dollar or so.

I see another use for that frying pan coming up.

Arlo is a dead man sitting.

“I have now!”

You’re welcome.

I’d be more interested in what she is trying to pour out of a skillet into a perfume bottle?

Come on. They’re fun to mess with. Like waiting unit they get in the car and then asking, “I’m glad you don’t have to pee again before we go.”

Shouldn’t rotational measurement be represented by revolutions per [time interval]? At the poles their kitchen be rotating at about one revolution per day, while at the equator it would actually be zero. It’s speed, though would be a factor of it’s distance from the planet’s axis of rotation or other reference point.

Ha

Léon Foucault apparently thought about it.

I think todays strip is funny.

its the moving away from the center of the universe at 1,000,000 MPH that gets me.

That’s why funnels were devised.

What is Janis trying to pour into that bottle?

What is she pouring ?

Arlo, I suspect that you are about to start rotating at 601 miles per hour.

I personally don’t care how fast we are traveling, or what fancy talk is used, I just like the comic and the point it is trying to get across!!

That really was a funny on. Why do husbands do that? Cute

Force is equal to mass times acceleration, and Janis has a frying pan in her hand!

It’s that hands-in-lap, “we’re-all-in-our-places-with-bright-shiny-faces”, smile, that really sells it!

Boy wants to die young.

Makes you ponder how fast his head will spin when she hits him with that skillet…

If Arlo really loves Janis, why does he tease her in such a mean way? And you guys all think it’s so funny. I would feel disrespected if I were treated like that. And Arlo’s smarmy smile makes it a lot worse.

Eh, it is all relative.

Mmmmmmmm, science!!
