Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 12, 2012

waiting for Frank Cruz to remind us once again it is Aztec, not Mayan since it is a round calendar

I love the absurd indulgences of this strip!

I read the Mayan calendar was valid for much more than one solar year.

In case anyone hasn’t heard this over the last 8-9 months…http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-05-10/national/35455922_1_william-saturno-mayan-city-calendars

I love the indulged absurdities of this strip!

Good point Arlo . . . it will be a real collectors item in another 5,200 years.

Looks like the calendar will make a great coaster for a keg of beer.

It was an asteroid, not a comet, and it was only 36 m across, not even as big as the one that hit Siberia in 1908. Besides which, it isn’t going to hit us anyway.

I think that maybe more than an asteroid passed over some readers heads.

For those wishing to divest themselves of their worldly possessions and enter the new age with a clean slate you may send the above mentioned precious metals, along with stock certificates, deeds to properties, and any other material impediments to:Mayan Convergence42 Scamsalot LaneSpringfield, ST11111

I will ensure that your items serve a higher purpose!

Why are some people so eager for the world to end? We’ll have another rash at 2033 (2000 years after Jesus died) and Newton predicted 2060 from his Biblical insight. I’m sure there will be many in between, but those are the two big days off hand. Although the 2033 will bounce around a bit depending on when people think Jesus was born.

It wasn’t a comet, it was an asteroid. And a very small one, at that. And I want half of whatever precious metals that you get…
