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

Est. 1985

Extra, Extra!

Icky Mouse

By Jimmy Johnson

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

Today’s classic A&J is from January, 2007. I don’t believe I’ve taken the time to thank all of you who purchased an A&J tee shirt over the holidays and since. Thank you! It was a very interesting experiment, and I hope everyone was satisfied. Wear them in good health! The shirts *ahem* still are available through this site exclusively, and there will be more designs this year. That’s the plan, anyway. I’ll never catch up to my younger peers, but as merchandising and public appearances become more mainstream in the profession of cartooning, I will try not to be left in the dust. Thanks for your support in this effort!

    Climate here isn’t conducive but surprising Texas and Florida have lots of active resorts. England, Australia, New Zealand do too.

    Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama make it serious criminal offense. When I lived in Hawaii only nude beach was on Maui and hard to get to by any method.

    I find some of organized nudist resorts to be summer camp like, so a commute would be more natural. We are going to confuse the heck out of everyone else. Loved the guitarist for Jethro Tull.

    Good morning Villagers…

    Sandcastler, good to hear you both are ‘ground controlled’ 🙂

    TR…how cold? Well, I would think it would be colder than a witch’s pokie, with a brass bra on, on a shady side of an iceberg….how’s that for being cold? Yes, I almost posted that, but the one I did post spoke of me 🙂

    Emb…photo ‘chop’ comes to mind with the cat’s mouth.

    SF…go for it. Loved Tull, saw them in concert about three decades ago….four decades ago, “Thick as a Brick”…loved Ian Anderson’s flute.

    Mark, it is one of the hardest habits to quit.

    Those hazmat suits are hot….may have to get down to my ‘bare essentials’ this weekend when it gets into the fifties…..and they’re black (think I just heard GR’s blood pressure go up)

    Yal’ll have a blessed day….is it Thursday?

    GR 😉 when Ian was three, he loved this song. Bought him a Nickelodeon boombox and the cassette….he learned real fast how to rewind.

    I’d love to have one of those, but one would not do….I’d have to have four of them…….

    Jean….that was a good one…that’s one charged up cat 🙂

    Debbe, Van Halen, the hair! They are just too pretty.

    Read your comments and I thought it was your had mat suits that were black until I figured it out.

    Good morning all.

    And yes, they were back then Jackie…

    …and yes, I do read the news sometimes, 30 years ago today, the space shuttle Challenger disaster….I remember where I was, and watched it happen.

    Debbe 😉 If one is going to do the Dance of the Seven Zippers™, I would expect that one’s “bare essentials” would indeed be black. It only seems right. 🙂

    And let’s just say that if I took a BP pill, I would have had to take it early today. 😉

    Every time I’ve looked at this MDNR site lately, there’s been a bird hunkered down on the nest. Egg[s] already? Peace, emb

    Debbe, so did I and I guess eventually some things do fade. The only person on the shuttle who was not my friend and customer was the school teacher. We were getting started preparing Valentine’s work when Robbie and Carol’s husband’s called from.Mission Control. One was a controller, the other headed the Air Forces astronaut program.

    We knew immediately it was the end of our little towns and everyone’s life. It was. We buried our friends because there were services, then we watched as the community died. It was all over so fast.

    emb: Something is amiss on the eagles’ nest. Eagle was landing just when I went to the site. I assumed it was a changing of the guard, but it did not hunker down right away as expected. After looking around, mostly upward (intruder perhaps?), it flew off and had not returned at last check leaving egg exposed.

    Eagle returned right after I posted the above. I hope all is well.

    off a whole lot and don’t seem to get anything done.

    Heya! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I
    needed to ask. Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a lot of work?
    I am completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my journal daily.

    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my personal experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
