What it is and what it ain’t (YMMV)
A couple of people sent me this for the Geezer file. I have to disagree because the reruns have never left us. Otherwise Lucretia wouldn’t be old enough to know what this was. Neither would I. Neither, I assume, would Barney, or the two people who sent this to me.
I also can’t go along with “violent,” because Ralph is all bluster and nobody takes any of it seriously.
I’m not sure I’d call it misogynist — but if it were, Alice’s comment about Ralph’s weight wouldn’t make it any less so.

I think it goes without saying that anybody who already read this Bizarro panel should not respond.
Wrong
Something to do with a cat apparently disguising itself as a dog?
Ōmisoka
I’d never heard of Ōmisoka until few days ago when I updated the site’s subject line. And today…
So I need to add a Baader-Meinhof tag.
And absolutely true story: I’d never heard of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon until last month, and then two days later…
Christmas Tree I Don’t Understand
Okay, so Janis won and her decorations are going to be used this year — because for all I know it’s normal for couples who’d been married to one another for all their adult lives to each have their own decorations — but then is what we’re looking at in the final panel (and Arlo is equally happy with) actually the tree with Janis’s decorations?
