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

“I did! I did saw a pudd…”

By Jimmy Johnson

January 9, 2010


My resolution this year is to fix up my work space, my studio. Don’t get excited: that’s my resolution every year. However, I have given the ol’ digs its annual partial cleaning, and if things proceed apace, I might just post pictures. I think what you might find surprising is that the walls include very little cartoon art. I have a Pogo strip by Walt Kelly and a drawing of Alfred E. Neuman by Jack Davis. I have no work of my own hanging anywhere in the house. Perhaps I should hang some A&J art in my garage/shop, to remind me to get back to real work.

    I also don’t get today’s strip, but I note that Jimmy has drawn panel two more detailed than often. ?

    I think the Ghost posties entered the Groundhog Day zone. And I don’t get the KT reference. Sorry.

    GR, I admire your unflagging effort in the face of such impertinent gremlins. Well done, sir.

      Actually, fresh batteries seem to have tamed it.

    Ghost did not explain that K.T. Oslain songwriter and singer had died of Parkinson’s (and possibly COVID-19) and Janis was telling her goodbye symbolically.

    Wish I could either get my second breast cut off to match missing breast or get both repaired. I tell myself to just put the bra back on and go get a prosthetic breast. I look hideous right now like an overweight lopsided old woman going braless.

    Oh right, that’s what I am isn’t it?

      No, you’re a lot more than that.

      No.

      You’re beautiful.

      And Ghost will back me up on that.

    K. T’s song “80’s Ladies” won Song of the Year at the 1988 CMA Awards. It became something of an anthem for her generation, and it included the lines…
    “Oh, we burned our bras,
    “And we burned our dinners
    “And we burned our candles at both ends.”

    than that, that is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.

    You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation however
    I find this topic to be really one thing that I believe
    I would never understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I’m taking a look ahead on your subsequent submit, I will
