Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 15, 2015

Now you’re talkin’! Luddy says “Toss one of those shrimps right over here!”

Before the shrimp add some veggies and he’ll have what my family calls “Dad’s world famous shrimp pasta”.

Maybe more to follow tomorrow? But today is Saturday.

Yes, the night is over, so only the other two things to talk about.

Arlo is stuttering. Is this the first sign of dementia?

Blah, blah, blah, shrimp! Tail goes up……..

I started reading Liitle Orphan Annie as a child c. 74 years ago. I realized later that that strip was packed to the gills with politics, but didn’t realize it at the time.

MaxStarmanJonesNo, and neither is short-term memory loss – it is remembering names. And who are you again?

Just a bit of whimsy: pretending to be a TV cooking show star for your cat.

Hilarious! That tail came to attention with a SNAP!

I want the complete recipe! What herbs and how much of each?

I’d rather talk about Janis’ bust.

Luddy is waiting for the “Stir Vigorously” step.

The cat can’t have the shrimp – he put garlic in the oil – not good for cats.

Many pets “understand” us—-after years of saying the same things over and over. I had a cat who had a vocabulary (she understood) about 17 different words. Want?_____.Want was understood, the blank could be shrimp, tuna, chicken, beef, etc. She understood BEFORE I opened the fridge and started cooking. Granted, most of her words referred to food, but “pet”/“scritchdee” (you could choose any word/phrase you wished to) “Daddy got a bag.” (fast food—sit at door from garage!)They are smart enough to understand, even if they can’t smell what you’re speaking about. ;-D
