Just Janis?

Janis is here without her Arlo, but the cartoon is heading for what we’d have to call Arlo territory in the CIDU sense!

I thought farmer’s daughter’s tan a clever play on the familiar farmer’s tan but wasn’t sure what the intended extended meaning was or whether it has anything to do with farmer’s daughter jokes. But I thought it might help to establish it was a nonce coinage by pointing to many standard dictionary entries for farmer’s tan and the absence of any for farmer’s daughter’s tan. But couldn’t find any of even the former! But at the last minute, at least Urban Dictionary turns up with an entry for farmers tan!

This seems to be something cat owners indulge in. I had a tabby named Allegro Rondo Finale. What are yours?

And a P.S. for non-cat-fans:

Stupor Bowl LoL

This cartoon by Travor Spaulding was originally published in The New Yorker four years ago, but it is still appropriate for today:

Jeff Millar wrote, and Bill Hinds drew this Tank McNamara strip as part of a widespread tribute to Charles Schulz on 27-May-2000:

Coincidentally, this year’s event (LVIII) will be the first ever held in (or at least near) Las Vegas, Nevada.

How Much Ground…

…could a groundhog hog, if a groundhog could hog ground?

…unless of course Phil beats the believers to the punch:

Here are four different approaches to affecting the prediction:

Retro Vintage Arlo

CIDU Bill always claimed that he named the “Arlo Award” concept after Arlo Guthrie, and there is still a statement to that effect in the CIDU FAQ. Anyone who has followed CIDU for a while will have realized that this was just a polite cover story, as the strip above clearly shows.

Thanks to Mark H for sending in this sweet musical 4th-wall comic!

(Technical P.S. – There are emoji(s) in the title, yes. But they do not appear in the “slug” or the URL for this post, so should not wreak havoc with the indexing!)

[Bill’s note from first postings on this site] This is something I made sure to rescue from the old site: after the first time I posted the 1996 sequence with Arlo’s father, somebody asked me to re-post it every year.

Unfortunately most of your comments are gone, but the 47 you posted in 2018 and 2019 are below.

[Note for 2022 — Reposting to continue Bill’s tradition. 2020 and 2021 comments also preserved.]

[Note for 2023 — Reposting, as per tradition. Past and 2022 comments preserved. Add-on comics for Veterans Day / Armistice Day will appear in another post in about an hour.]
