A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

Extra, Extra!

Fish and Chips

By Jimmy Johnson

We’re still back in 2006, at the beach, and will be all week. Hope you brought your sun screen. Oh! Did you see the recent story about how the chemicals in sunscreen lotions and creams sink into the bloodstream at a higher rate than was realized? They’re not saying it’s harmful. Yet. They’re just saying. Imagine that.

    No I had not heard that. But being exposed to sunlight might be more dangerous than what leaches into the skin…I think. But I wouldn’t trust my opinion on that!

      Correction: Re 5-8-19 *retro* cartoon: “Mine! Mine! Mine!“ (With apologies to Nemo.)

      Although Arlo may be thinking, “Mine! Mine! Mine!“, with all the goodies packed in the backseat.

    That’s why I just rely on wide-brim hats and long sleeves.

    Whenever I used sunblock I’d get an odd taste in my mouth. I always assumed it was the odor of the product resulting in that taste… but maybe it wasn’t?

    So why don’t they remove that last “Ballard Street” from the Gocomics A-Z list?

    IMO, Van-Amerongen was better when it was “The Neighborhood.” Peace,

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Kudos
