Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 24, 2023

Arlo, he’s obviously been very patiently trying to explain it to you.

Drama Queen

He doesn’t want to eat alone.

My feisty is very set in her routine. She’ll get agitated if we go to bed later than usual, like last night. (Went to visit friends, came home in the wee hours of morning). But no matter how late we go to bed, 6.30 am is the usual time to rise, so she’ll come to me for a cuddle around that time. Which is why I still had breakfast for her and me at around 8.30 am. (I am sort of crazy, but not that crazy). Husband still sleeps in this morning.

Luddie knows the importance of eating together.

Love that Dayrise panel!!

The beautiful sunrise reminds me of a song, believe the title was “Trip Around The Sun”. Can’t seem to remember the artist’s name. Anybody?

But it’s not fresh food. Arlo you have coffee in your pot 24 hours a day but sometimes you’ll make a fresh pot. Why?

For 13 years I had no need for an alarm clock. At 4:30 every morning a 95 lb Labrador would come to my bedside and stare me.

Perhaps you could try moving the food to someplace not around where the clock is located, Arlo.

He desires an audience

My dog and cat live by the sun…not a fan of the longest day of the year!!

I believe Ludi, loves to share the civil twilight w/ his dear dad

But he needs someone to WATCH him eat it. And watch the sunrise together.

Awesome use of color all around in today’s strip.

My cat does the same thing. I think he’s trying to be helpful by waking me up.

This is my life — and I like it. However, not looking forward to the end of DST when 4am feels like 5am to my girls.

It’s not the same.

We are only here to serve as our cats servants

It’s not just the food. It’s that you’re paying attention to his needs.

my dogs make sure that I don’t miss the dawn

Yes, there’s food in the bowl, but the bottom of the bowl is VISIBLE.

Must keep his “Master” on his toes.

My cats, exactly!

We have 2 cats, that both “Tag Team” us, exactly like this, also at sunrise! Love this comic strip!

My outdoor cats aren’t fussy, but they seem to prefer it if I sit on the steps and watch them eat. I guess they figure I will discourage the raccoons.

OK, all those trying to decide where A&J live. What city is this the skyline of?

Safety in numbers?
