Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 03, 2019

A reenactment of the Lion King.

Ya got Luddy rethinking this whole thing! Like, maybe, how much can I get away with?

Luddy looks puzzled! Does a “lamb” go out or a “lamp”? But then, March goes out like a lamb – thankfully not like a lamp!

Me too.

The Lion King presenting baby lion to the world in the spring. (In like a lion)

Thank goodness for the comments section! I puzzled over this one for several minutes before I gave up. I knew the explanation would be here. I got the in like a lion part but the Easter lamb bit totally eluded me. Thank you.

Jimmy likes to play Stump The Fans. Or is it What’s My Allegory?

“Arlo, did you remember to put the lamb out?”

So if March comes in like a lion king, it must go out like a leg of lamb?

Okay… I got lion king reference right off. But cmon… does he pride himself on being the freaking New York Times crossword puzzle of the comics world?

See today’s “Barney & Clyde” for a similar reference.

I thought Janis was getting a cat scan….

Ok….. poor Ludy. I am confused to Ludy.

Lion King reference!

Er…. right. Time for a cartoonist intervention. Ever hear that if you have to explain a joke, it wasn’t funny?

That makes 2 of us

march in like a lion out like a lamb

I get it but it sure isn’t funny. This used to be a good cartoon, what’s going on?

Me too

?

“If March comes in like a radish, it goes out like a Buick.”

Did Arlo wear a yamulke yesterday?

March… it comes like a Lion…

“You bow and taking off your hatAd-dress him in this form, “O Cat”."“The Addressing of Cats,” by T. S. Eliot

Well, that’s what I thought of.

These 2 need to get a life preferably outside of the house.

Now I want Lamb with mint jelly

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Loodie with his eyes open THAT wide.

Is the old adage that unknown these days – that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb – referring to Spring’s change in weather?

It has nothing to do with Easter – which this year, like many, is not until April 21 this year!

OK, we have spoiled and humanized our 7th dog since we got him just before 2019 began, but I don’t get the lamb reference at all. I at first thought they were making a pretense at worshiping Ludwig and the lamb was some Christian reference, but …And yeah, I’m way behind reading this.
