Happy New Year! Also, chocolate fish and cauliflower brains.

My New Year's resolution is to actually write on this blog.  I really hope I can do it.  I mean, I did volunteer to do it, after all.  There's no reason for me to slack off.  So, I can start the new year with a post here.  Without further ado:

Arctic Circle:

I tried to find some strips that didn't have anything to do with the new year.  Thankfully, one of them had to do with chocolate fish, which happen to be my favorite kind of fish.  Of course, I don't like real fish, but that's beside the point.  I would gladly trade any real fish I happen to find for these penguins' fake chocolate fish.  If anyone knows of a way to contact them, please tell me.

Frank and Ernest:

This one didn't have anything to do with the new year either, so I picked it.  It's unfortunate, however, that they don't realize that putting a cauliflower into his head won't work.  His brain is made of mashed potatoes, as is his heart.  His intestines are, of course, made of butter and cheese.

Mutts:

You know they've been standing out there all night, taking turns holding the sign.  They waited longer than most people even, all the way until the sun came up.  Now, they can finally go home.  The bird will just have to go up a branch.  That's his front porch he's standing on, probably.

Family Circus:

And, to end off, the same tired old New Year's joke that Bil Keane does every year.  I know I've seen it on many other comic strips, too.  Yes, this "new" joke looks just like the OLD joke!
