One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for January 09, 2013

Also, aired before Christmas.

350 days until Christmas, AND ALREADY, out come the Christmas cartoons!

Kinda beats the Easter Eggs I saw on the shelves of my local supermarket on Dec 27th :-(

I agree you can’t hug or pet a fish. Gimme a dog or cat.

Mice are flushable, no?

With the right set of cutlery, everything is flushable.

I missed that and regretted not seeing it. Thank you !!!!!

This aired about 7½ years before Willie’s first appearance (archived daily in color, odd).Not only is it odd that an archived daily is in color here, the colors are different from what they are at creators.com:GoComics archive:@Jon Hra: In trying to add the 2 images, I accidentally hit the Delete button instead of the Reply button, so I had to totally redo the comment. Deleting it removed my ID from your Thank you reply to the original. I really miss the Edit button we used to have. Glad you found my original comment helpful.

I miss Willie.

“Aired”?

GoComics removed (or deactivated the hyperlinks in my above comment). The creators.com archive shows Willie made his first appearance 6/7/10:
