I never set out to draw a dirty comic. I set out to draw a comic about two married people. If you’re honest, a lot of what goes on in Arlo & Janis of a carnal nature is suggested. There’s a lot of fill-in-the-blank, and a lot of my readers, for my taste, are far too imaginative. However, looking through strips from the Fourth of July, it struck me that this simple black and white doodle may very well be the most overtly sensual comic strip I’ve ever drawn. You figure it out. Speaking of the holiday, I’m sorry I missed posting the past couple of days. My work week was compressed to meet holiday deadlines. It’s all done now, though! Let’s go have some fun.

Good morning all. Up since 6 a.m and finishing packing. Dickens is attached to my left thigh and will move into my purse to make sure he goes. Washer, dryer and dish washer running.
We had worst thunder storms last night. Dishes rattling off shelves and lightening hitting close, constant power outages. It began while fire works display down at Lake, I thought it was all part of show.
Happy 4th of July to everyone and a special “THANK YOU” to all who have given so much so that we may all celebrate this great day!
God bless us every one.

I just watched an hour and a half special online about 9/11 and the heroes of that day. It seems appropriate for today and for once felt uplifting.
Heard from Jackie about an hour ago. She finally got on the road after being told by her workers that it was more than past time she left. So, another adventure of Wonder Woman and Dickens the Adventure Dog has begun. Keep her in your thoughts, and it wouldn’t do the rest of the country she’s travelling through any harm to think of them too because they don’t know what’s coming!
Jimmy, methinks thou dost protest too much. Yes, your commenters may have over-active imaginations but who’s kidding who? *wink wink* Happy 4th to all. Wherever and however you find your fireworks.
We live about halfway between a local tennis club and a country club (both too rich for our blood) so we can watch most of their fireworks just by going outside. The former did their show on Saturday, the latter tonight. Then Mother Nature decided to show the puny mortals how it’s done – amazing display of cloud to cloud lightning that went on so long our necks hurt from looking up.
Our next door neighbor isn’t home; on a regular night that would mean any noise would prompt constant yapping by her dogs. She must have drugged them in anticipation of all the fireworks. We could see them on the living room floor completely zonked out.
Then there’s the picture a friend posted of a trailer sign with this message: Happy hear-fireworks-set-off-24/7-by-drunk-people-you-wouldn’t-trust-with-a-glowstick day!
Poor doggies, Ruth Anne — I hope they wake up okay. Two fireworks displays, and a lightening show as well; great if you can stand the noise. It was a lovely clear day here, perfect for crowds of people to come out for our Town fireworks show. My tenant just came in and told me how packed the parking lots were up there where the show was. Down here, my house isn’t far away — half a mile? And it was very LOUD. It was over in less than an hour and quietness has descended, Thank Goodness.
Glad that Jackie has started on her trip. May she have safe travels!
Jackie and Lezlie are in Carthage. Missouri. The beds have chenille spreads and row k like crazy and squeek and bounce. Dickens and Lezlie and I see laughing hysterically at the retro sounds. We watched the longest and biggest fireworks show either of us had ever seen.
We go in late, manager of historic motel was gone and they left key in mail box for us. Gotta love small towns. We are eating at Iggys Diner in morning, silver train car xonef.

Ghost maybe Gables Ghost will appear but Lezlie is in his bed. Dickens is on my leg with his head on a thigh. Not listening to Otis Redding, too many memories.
Fireworks still going on outside, none inside.
But JJ,I think that here in the south we may be qualified to offer a little advice based on our experience.
Happy Cinco da America, celebrate according to your taste. If you haven’t yet heard of Cinco da America, blame Loon. It is a holiday she created to extend the elongated Fourth weekend.
Happy Birthday to my younger brother, Eric.
