Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 29, 2019

No baton was passed. All I have is “Exit, stage right”

Same as the old year.

This reminded me of Happy, the Baby New Year in 1976’s stop-motion ’Rudolph’s Shiny New Year’ where he has to track down Happy, who’s run away because people made fun of his ears like Rudolph’s nose was ridiculed. “Those ears…THOSE EARS!” http://herbadmother.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/baby_new_year_ears.jpg

…or not.

Same as the old year?

Hey kid, you’re early. I still have three more days.

Look up today’s Reality Check. Great minds…!

Brave New World?

What?

May it be far better than the last.

We are all overdue for a good year.

I thought Father Time carried a scythe, not a cane.

As he bumps into the fourth wall.

Not sure that kid’s gonna make it through the year if doesn’t watch where he’s going.

This is what happens when you put a baby in charge every year.

Oh Boy. Bet you were disappointed with this one.
