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

Est. 1985

Hardly Harvey, cont.

By Jimmy Johnson


Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
With this rare Friday post, we’re already a quarter of the way through the “Harvey” sequence, and, if I may say so, the best is yet to come. I’ve been playing around with some tee shirt designs that I hope will be out “just in time for Christmas.” I’ve been saying I was going to do that for 25 years. Maybe finally. I’ve been wracking my brain about what you’d like. Then it occurred to me: I’ll just ask. That is the way we do things around here. Any suggestions? (Sorry, no guarantees!) There’ll be a lot more said about this in the near future.

    Personally, I’m pretty fed up will all the PC junk coming out of the mouth of the CDC representative, journalists, medical professionals, airline officials, and generally anyone who is interviewed concerning this Ebola fiasco. Is it only average Americans that have any common sense? I realize there are a few politicians that are calling for stopping folks from the Ebola affected countries from flying to the US; they are given a brief mention on news reports, but only so everyone else can immediately declare how terrible that would be. Really? Every report emphasizes there is only ONE person in the US that developed Ebola. They keep assuring us how unlikely anyone else will get it, but I don’t think there should be any assurances until the 21 day incubation period is up. Right now, it is a wait and see situation.

    There was a cartoon with Ludwig viewed from above curled up on a tee shirt, sleeping. I would buy a tee shirt depicting that in a heartbeat.

    I believe that would be 6/11/03

    No offense, and Ludwig is one of the least annoying cats in comics, but I would never buy a tee with a cat on it. I am an ailurophobe

    This just in: Ebola can not be transferred to another person through contact with this blog. (As long as no body fluids are involved.)i

    Jackie is back briefly. My daughter said that Yahoo has blocked or locked up my group site and emails at her end too. She is working on our American Cancer Society fund raiser and the EC “End Cancer” Duck Races (which are actually small sail boats racing called “Ducks”, not just the little yellow rubber ones although we will do those too. So, she is as annoyed with Yahoo as I am!

    See you all at some weird hour of the morning no doubt!

    Love, Jackie

    Let’s try “Something about a peek” this way: if you look up at the address bar for this very page, instead of where it begins /hardly-Harvey-etc., replace all of that with /apeek.htm

    If this post does not get eaten like other posts with the outright link, then you should be able to take a peek. πŸ˜€

    Here I am at an odd hour of the morning, as promised! Still fighting with Yahoo and computer. Why does this blog work so much better than anything I do on Yahoo? I want to use these people for my REAL website! After 6 years we will probably get a real one, not a yahoo-ed one who destroys all your records and access to their sites!

    I did go to sleep for awhile. I am trying to retrieve my donations records off Yahoo, poor success rate so far!

    Everyone hang in for your own particular crisis. My school cafeteria worker I planned to hire to bake brownies, sheet cakes and cookies has not appeared. Crisis with her daughter and granddaughter/child. Life is like that, isn’t it?

    I have promised a batch of Cowboy Cookies to my designer from NZ who has been flying for over 24 hours to get here, so I have a lb. of butter out on counter for that one.

    Half the restaurants in town seem to have gone out of business after Labor Day, so glad I wasn’t really counting on them! Have to pull their menu out of the stack at the Registration Desk.

    Pray for me, of course, that is a given. I think of you all and your families daily. That is the effect of A and J.

    Love, Jackie

    Good morning Villagers…

    ….and an early good morning to you Jackie, good luck in your retrievals.

    Mark…after yesterday’s errands, shutting down not just one hen house, but the other one as well, hen house supply shopping, stopping in to check on Mom….I felt that way.

    The other senior citizen (she’s 67) working at the other hen house had to leave early; her daughter was was in a head on collision with a tree; and the other packer went home sick. (My sister-in-law is over there now, The Boss is trimming the so called ‘fat)….so I had to go over there and bring in the rest of the eggs. And Ian had to go to the mill and help bag feed. So I was ……’all by myself…don’t wanta be all by myself”

    GR…my mortality was down to 14 on Sunday….quite a contrast from 41 on Friday. We think it is coccidious….which an antibiotic has been added to their feed a couple of weeks ago. We pray that it has run its course. But the eggs are still good πŸ™‚ Did not have a chance to do a final dead run as we had to leave in a hurry to go to the other hen house.

    And my brake light was on for a day then it went off…Amen.

    gotta go…..ya’ll have a blessed day

    Debbe, you need a laugh. Maybe this one will make you smile, anyway.

    When I owned florist and gift shop almost all my employees were seniors. They work hard, they have good values, just good employees. I paid them fair wages, much more than minimum.

    An idiot bank president’s wife came into shop and loudly in front of everyone began to tell me how I should go to Senior Citizen Center and hire these seniors at $1 per hour because they’d like to get out and get some fresh air, etc.

    Listened, thanked her for idea (her husband was a big account) and didn’t say anything until she left.

    Turned to my employees and asked “OK, which of you seniors want to take a pay cut? And are you getting enough fresh air?”

    We all just cracked up. When he husband went to federal pen for money laundering and she lost the huge home, we were actually all delighted!

    Love, Jackie

    Thanks Jackie for making retirement look promising. Prison pay is only $0.15 per hour and yard time is limited. Now I am looking forward to a parole board hearing.
