Continuing our mini-retrospective in commemoration of the anniversary of Arlo & Janis, here are two strips from 1989, starring young son Gene. Gene always has favored his mother, obviously, and it’s apparent here in that weird pug nose that they concurrently outgrew in later years. Once my drawing style settled down a bit, Arlo has remained largely unchanged, haircut notwithstanding.

This S. Afr. cam was aimed at what looked to be an undamaged dead m. Nyalla [large Afr. antelope] and 2 Wooly-Necked Storks 20 min. ago. Maybe a chance to watch sev. spp. of Old World vultures over the next sev. days.

Peace [RIP?],
Pibgorn has been the same for a week. Hope Brooke is ok. Peace,
Good real time strip today, Jimmy. Very clever use of desert themes to get the idea of excessive heat across.
Saturday’s strip reminded me of what our cat does for Fancy Feast. We’ve since moved so there’s no danger of him getting of him getting concussed as we just let him rollover on the rug.
I’ve shared this before:

Seems everyone has been worshipping today since morning.
Can anyone explain today’s [Au 5th] Farcus cartoon on gocomics.com?
c ex-p, returning empty bottles for deposit and using money to pay staff.
I got the originals the other day, Jimmy. Really good stuff! Thank you so much! They’re framed on my wall.
Re 8-5-19 real-time cartoon: Arlo, I get to hang around the women’s changing room every day at work. Buy a boutique! LOL
But no, I don’t peek, even though some ladies are less than conscientious about pulling the curtain completely closed. I sometimes wonder if that’s pure carelessness or a bit of exhibitionism.
According to Merriam-Webster, the English work “peek” comes from the French word meaning “to prick”. I have nothing to say about that. You’re welcome.
Well, that was awkward…

Off every conceivable topic: Anyone else here enjoy the Smithsonian Channel’s “Mighty Trains”?
Don’t have cable for anything but internet, but I do like trains. Check out Virtual Railfan on YouTube. They have live cameras streaming from various locations in the US and Canada. Lately they have been following the journey of the restored UP Big Boy as it travels from place to place. Lots of action at the San Juan Capistrano station too, since it has several Amtrak and Metrolink trains daily. Also check YouTube channels Periscope Films and The History Guy.
I had a phone call supposedly from my credit union’s fraud prevention department. The caller ID showed their main contact number. That was warning flag #1: That department has called us before when we’ve made purchases outside our normal area… from a 1-866 number, not an 801 number.
2nd, the caller’s voice wasn’t sharp and clear, but sounded much like one “blurred” electronically. That’s #2.
The caller called in on my wife’s cell phone (a number that was mine back in my truck driving days) and asked for me. That’s #3.
Finally, the caller tried to get me to tell him the last 8 digits of my VISA card number (#4). That’s when I terminated the call and called the credit union.
So be aware that thieves can spoof your bank’s or credit union’s phone number. They should NEVER ask for social security numbers or account numbers. If you’re suspicious, hang up and call your institution ASAP.
I wondered if all Ghost’s anecdotes about clothes
Might not have inspired Jimmy?
Anxiety over, new Pibgorn this am, as strange as ever. Of course, 9CL has continued on schedule. Still no gestation, but they’re trying. Peace,

Peace,
That Train show sounds neat, Rick. Do they give history and stories about the trains, or ….. ? Don’t get that channel-I have rabbit ears tv. 🙂
