We stayed up until one minute past midnight… once. Back in 1977 or so. Managed to wake up, leaning against each other on the couch, long enough to watch my husband’s watch click over… which it didn’t do for at least four minutes. Then we staggered up to bed, wishing each other “Happy New Year!”
It was such fun that we decided never to try to replicate the experience. ;)
We’ve always watched Charlie Chaplin’s “Gold Rush.” “Air Fryer” is a really, really, really poor comparison, so I agree with the Days: Even sleep is better . .
I like the comment left on FB: I already picked out the pajamas I’m wearing to the living room when I go out New Year’s Eve, but I’m not sure I’m going yet.
I got an air fryer for $5 at an auction, surprised the heck out of me but I guess nobody else there wanted/needed one. Now we have great fries at home!
There are 8 minutes of commercials between the news and the weather. There is 4 hours of sleep in my chair between the 10 o’clock news and the air fryer commercial.
I’ve noticed New Year’s TV programming is inundated with tax preparation commercials. Just as we’re emerging from the holiday stressors, they throw the next one at us.
I’ve been reading your strip since the beginning and it is my all-time favorite comic. The expressions you draw on Luddy are spot on! We have no doubt you’re into cats. Can’t tell you how many times we’ve discussed whether or not you could have a camera/ video in our house. (Is Alexis really Arlo?) Thanks for the laughs through the years, but my favorite punch line of all times is Arlo saying to an insecure Janis, “There ARE other women?”
Seeing the ad on network TV for NYE shows. Didn’t know a single musical act. I can tell I’m getting old, because it didn’t bother me for not knowing any of them.

Growing up the Marx Brothers made the New Year’s Eve. We took no notice of the Ball drop. We had A Night At The Opera.

Happy New Year! I’ll go outside and listen to the fireworks, maybe.

Happy New Year everyone. Hopefully your New Year’s Eve will be a little more entertaining than an infomercial marathon. ;-)

What’s with the air fryer measurements in liters? It’s certainly not how much they’ll cook…

I love my air fryer. Use it several times a week. Great for small families.

I don’t recall her ever calling Arlo “darling” before. Sweet touch.
