Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 23, 2022

Which one’s Pancho?

“Pancho and Lefty”. Most of what I know about popular music I learn from references in the comics.

Sarcasm is wasted on the slow.

Someone should develop a sarcasm font.

Jimmy Johnson, speaking as a Townes van Zandt fan, as well as Willie/Merle fan, may I simply say this strip is brilliant.

? Luddie is not a mouser?

At ease, Ludwig.

Oh, you already are.

Well, then, carry on.

Alert status is back to D-Con 5.

One of my cats would bring mice home – alive – and let them go in the house.

Ick! Live trap, Arlo.

“They only let him get away, out of kindness, I suppose.”

This is great

Yesterday sooo good; not so good today

Dead mouse walking! Anybody triggered?

To the Victor go the spoils!

Just a lazy pampered cat!

“Welp, there goes another poker buddy…”

Most housecats are useless. Probably from being too spoiled.

I’ve found dead ones on the floor, don’t know if the cats (3) killed them or they got in and saw three cats and died from a stroke!

Recently had to mousetrap our first mouse. The cats normally dispatch them but they now like Ludwig’s idea better.

Townes Van Zandt is one of my two nominations for Greatest American Poet! (Robert Hunter is the other.)

Coincidentally, I caught one right after reading this.

big HUH? to this one

That mouse wasn’t big enough for Luddie to fuss over…

Arlo, you are sadly mistaken if you think it’s all over. Where there’s one mouse there are many unseen mice! This is just the beginning…

Is this a dig at the Uvalde police?

Nice! Merle Haggard (and Willie Nelson) :-)

My feral came into the yard for dinner one evening with something dark hanging out of the corner of her mouth. I thought it was nasty drool and I would have to trap her. She got up on the porch, opened her mouth, and a LIVE wet mouse plunked onto the floor and skittered under her food bowl. I lifted the bowl up and the mouse ran back towards the cat. I thanked her for the mouse and asked her to finish the good job she started. I think she did. That was one very slobbery mouse, and how she got it in her mouth without having chipmunk cheeks I cannot fathom.

Ludwig moved to the right while sleeping!

“Only let him slip away out of kindness, I suppose.” Townes Van Zandt

Great use of a great song.
