Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 28, 2020

Rerun with muted colors.

I always loved these scenes in the old Westerns!

If the squirrels had a piano the sounding board would be covered with nuts.

someone fetch the sheriff

Yay. Another “why is this funny” puzzle. Hmmmm. This is a doozy.

Just introduced my 12-year old to those corn-ball Clint Eastwood westerns from the late 60’s early 70’s. I figured he’d last about 10 min. It turned out he loves them. Who’da thunk?

Don’t shoot me, I’m only the piano player.

Darkness at noon! :-o

Is it just me or do the squirrels look like they were drawn by George Herriman?

Luddy is so cool. He’s got chutzpah.

Should have worn his ten-gallon hat! We know he has one.

“And then things got squirrely for Arlo and Ludwig.”

Didn’t have a clue, thanks.

My local squirrels take off the moment they hear the door unlatch- no need to slam it

Who slammed the door?

Sheriff Arlo and his deputy Ludvig on the job!

From the squirrels point of view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5JCrSXkJY

The squirrel in panel 2 in the fore ground has buns…

I’ve always thought of squirrels more as banjo players.

But you could’ve heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door

At my house it’s deer – not squirrels.

Luddi the Marshall.

Another A and J I don’t get. I never watch westerns.

Okay, I see it now. Arlo walks outside with cat and door slams and everybody stops dead. Like in an old western saloon scene. haha thanx

I absolutely love this. So,so true.

I love the look on Ludwig’s face.

Just make sure Luddie comes back in. There are baddies bigger and meaner than him out there.

“Don’t shoot the piano player; he’s doin’ the best he can”…
