It could just be a clumsy attempt at mimicking the lingo of the kids these days who are surfing the web on their bbses - it has a similar vibe to a lot of the made-up poo poo in "this is what your kid is saying online!" guides from the 90s.

This whole arc feels like they heard about the concept of white hat hackers but know about as much as Charles Boyce does about computers.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Such a majestic language.

Krazy Kat(September 16, 1917)Timged because Jesus Christ



1: Recap panel: 'Krazy' throws a brick at 'Ignatz'. "If you remember, this incredible scene happened a few days ago."

2: "Mock Duck, sage of the orient, He who deals in the treasures of the occult world will now drag from it's[sic] most mysterious recess the inside story of this inexplicable Denouement."

3: Krazy and ignatz are asleep on a log. Mock Duck narrates: 'Tuesday night, last week Ignatz Mouse and Krazy Kat decide to sleep together. - Yezza -'

4: Same, but as they sleep, spirits rise up from their bodies. Mock Duck: 'Pretty soon, Ignatz dreams, so his spirit goes out. Then Krazy, starts to dream too, and his spirit goes off too, - You savvy? Yizza - Verry well.'

5: Krazy and Ignatz' spirits fly off into the night. Mock Duck: 'You savvy where light goes when the light goes out? Well, that's the same place those two spirits go. - Yizza -'

6: Mock Duck stands in a field as the sun rises. Mock Duck: 'Well, now come three, four o'clock morning time Mister Sun got the idea it was time to come up. And when the sun comes up, it is time for the spirit to come back home. - Yizza -'

7: Kazy and Ignatz' spirits fly over the landscape in the opposite direction of panel 5. Mock Duck: 'So the spirits see the sun come up, and get quite excited, and come back home fast as anything. - Yippy, Shoo mike.[????]'

8: The spirits enter the wrong bodies. Mock Duck: 'But, Ignatz' spirit made a big mistake, He came back to Krazy, and Krazy's spirit made a big mistake too, and came back to Ignatz. - So everything is all wrong ... Everything is all wrong - Yizza -'

9: Following from panel 1, 'Krazy' storms off. "Now you see how it is?" 'Ignatz': 'L'il Ainjil.' - 'Krazy': 'Fool Kat.[/i]'

Fortunately, the next and final strip in this storyline has less Mock Duck. Unfortunately, it still has some Mock Duck.

The way Holbrook writes it, the 'good guys' just showed a bit of false modesty only to do a complete 180 a second later.

wikipedia posted:

The family surname is Day, but it's only rarely used in the strip. Johnson confessed, "When I first sold the strip, the family had no name. The strip itself had no name! Preparing to launch, the syndicate brain trust decided, 'Let's make their name Day and call the strip Day by Day. ' However, it turned out there was an old, semi-defunct newspaper column called Day by Day, and legally timid heads prevailed. The strip was named Arlo and Janis. I subsequently kept the name ‘Day.’ Why not?"

No relation to the other 'Day by Day', I'm sure.
