Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 11, 2023

Hasenpfeffer!

If you’re blissfully walking alone in the forest and you suddenly see a tiger behind a tree, doesn’t it appear that there are tigers behind every tree? 8^ )

What is JJ going for here? Another report from Captain Obvious. The top of the food chain cannot be any where near as numerous as the bottom.

This really Bugs me.

I saw a meme the other day that said: 2022 was wild since it was the year of the tiger. I’m sure 2023 will be much more tame since it’s the year of the rabbit. The photo was of the killer white rabbit hopping by a pile of skulls from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. :-D

Hobbes is about to have his revenge.

Hobbes ;)

2023 is Wabbit season?

When I go for walks I see dozens or rabbits

If I saw dozens of tigers, I wouldn’t be going for those walks

War Eagle!

Tiger in every garden saves the lettuce from being eaten by the wabbits.

For tigers: Shere Khan, Tony the Tiger, Hobbes, Tigger.

For rabbits: Bugs Bunny, Thumper, Peter Cottontail, The Velveteen Rabbit, the Rabbit of Caerbannog, Roger Rabbit, the White Rabbit, the Energizer Bunny, Brer Rabbit, and then just plain Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh.

That last panel? The tail looks like Hobb’s tail, from Calvin & Hobbs.

when i was 12, i made my parents take me to see Jack Benny live and he had his entire tv show cast with him, including Mel Blanc…i saw Bugs Bunny live

I would rather have seen Hobbs as the tiger.

If there were that many tigers, there would be far fewer crazies and hoverrounds on the street. Tigers get hungry.

Year of the rabbet? Time for some woodworking!

There are some comic strip characters that have crocs as neighbors. ;-)

Duck Hunting Season!

Disappointed Hobbes didn’t get a nod.

50 Years and Only One Grey Hare.

I think I spy a Hobb’s to Arlo’s inner Calvin! Is there anything Freudian in Arlo imagining Hobbs jumping Janis? Is there an implication that Janis is a former “Bunny”?

There once was a lady from NigerWho smiled as she rode on a tiger.They returned from the ridewith the lady inside.And a smile on the face of the tiger.

The China Pavillion at Epcot had a display on Shanghai Disneyland that included a Lunar Zodiac made up of Disney characters. Did have to dig into the Paul Bunyan segment of a Wonderful World of Disney episode to get Babe for the Year of the Ox.

Hobbs doesn’t attack unsuspecting gardeners…he eats tuna!

Love to see the citations there!

The tiger in your garden.

Could be Arlo in disguise…..

Jimmys humor is one of a kind. Love todays comic.

First the tiger, then the tiger food.

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye,

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Hobbes? Is that you?

11 more days! :-)

It’s Hobbes!

Looks like Hobbes there in the greenery.

Closer and closer they came….

Why would it be nice to have as many tigers as rabbits?

It’s Hobbes!

Not really as we WOULD be their prey …

Hobbs! Where’s Calvin?

how many people commented something about Hobbs and that silly kid that follows him around

Does anyone else think that tail looks like it could be a “stuffed tiger” named Hobbs?

I love the art in this one!

Ah! Jimmy is an Auburn grad! I wondered how the Aubie reference was included. War Eagle!
