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.

“…a lot of my readers, for my taste, are far too imaginative.”
I was about to disagree with that statement when I realized I was subconsciously trying to imagine which character was producing which exclamations in the cartoon.
I have a distant memory of those days!! Still as if it were yesterday.
JJ: It’s been quite a while, but yes, tastefully salacious. Peace,
Because of drought conditions, much of Detroit is a Fireworks ban (like THAT will stop people from setting them off). My wife and I are both battling colds/ allergies. So Jimmy are you saying the fireworks bans are related?
Wow!!! A Saturday post. And a real great one at that. Reminds me of the good old days before I wad OLD.
By the rocket’s red glare.
I posted this late last night. Don’t think Ghost saw it.
Ghost, I found your next job: http://cdn.signspotting.com/wp-content/main/2016_04/Bosom%20Expert.jpg
As long as all depictions of sexual activity are banned from comic strips, the reader has no sliding scale to gauge by. We get to see an affectionate hug, but anything beyond that happens off panel, and we have no idea if that ‘next’ is gentle, or ferocious, or in between. We know Arlo and Janis will be loving and playful and sincere, but, human nature being what it is, blackened panels and the gutters between them are going to house rather extreme scenarios. On this July 4th weekend, I hold that truth to be self-evident.
Well, with my pure mind, I just saw fireworks – you figure it out!
Happy July 4th from a Brit
Plenty of room in the Village. Yal come on in. Deb, I only have a vague idea what the chicken house is like and how it works, but your devotion to your job and your “girls” is obvious. I’m sure that it’s the best little chicken house in Indiana. I’ve had the dbs implants and leads to the brain for several years now. Because the implant on the right side of my chest, controlling the left side of my body, has to be turned up higher and uses more power, the battery has to be replaced more often than the one on the left. It’s a simple procedure (for me). They put me out, make a simple incision, remove the implant, put in a new battery, replace it and sew me up. There is almost no pain involved. In the recent replacement I volunteered to remain awake and go through a a longer procedure while they experimented with a different device. When I’m through with it, my brain will be donated to the UF medical school. Here’s hoping everyone has an enjoyable weekend.
Thanks and good luck to you hc. I hope that we learn something from the UK’s experience.
Things like this make Brexit look like a good thing:

Yesterday was Canada Day up here and my kids decided to bus out to a location to watch the big kabooms. Unfortunately our drought was broken by thunder, lightning and a huge downpour. My daughter wisely decided that she didn’t want to die holding an umbrella while walking to the bus stop. She turned around and came back home. My son decided to keep going. He turned around 10 minutes later when the downpour got worse and the winds whipping the water horizontally. He came in completely soaked from head to toe even though he had a large umbrella.
I hope you’ll have an enjoyable July 4th.
Jerry, you are a tough and courageous guy! I admire your positive view on life.
Jerry, unsure what lesson Brexit has to offer us for this year’s political dance. I know whatever sins the voter class might committ, unlike in the UK case, can be corrected in 2020.
We took advantage of the “free day” to run over to College Station for a fun day. Visited the George Bush (41) Presidential Library and the A&M campus. Great display of antique cars at the library, all restored in pain taking detail. The campus was deserted.
Have a safe Fourth. Hug a person of your choice, I fought for your freedom to do so.
Thank you Sand and thank all our vets who served for the preservation of our freedom. My father died protecting it and Miss Liberty means a lot to me
Beyond hugging I gladly kiss veterans as well given the chance thank you.
Some of us just pushed pencils, but that was what we were told to do.
Cam at the Prairie Dog site just panned past a humongous storm to the west; maybe it will pan back. Lots of mounds, but only one Cynomys out. Fat, colonial ground squirrels. Remember to close expl ore. Peace,

{{{emb}}} it takes ~10 pencil pushing support troops to keep one line trooper in the field. Thanks for your service.
Here’s an alternative to cages for chickens:

Ah… role playing. Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief. A classic. (The movie also is classic.)
Thanks, TruckerRon. Hadn’t seen that strip before. Found one there for Jackie: http://www.gocomics.com/looks-good-on-paper/2016/06/30
A comic for an ex-florist.
Dickens and I have had a long day.of four separate towns including Tulsa. Several of them twice and two three times. I burned a tank of gas. Tomorrow I do laundry and pack and load the truck. Bought gas at 1.79 tonight.
Skipper the cat decided to meld into my side. I just fell asleep and fell asleep at salon. Good night all.
Nah, Mark, not falling for the “International Ample Bosom Expert” sign. It probably gained something in the translation. I was once about to join the scientific search for the “Big bosom” when I realized I had confused that and the “Higgs boson”.
Sand, in sentence order: (1) I believe you. (2) Given our recent history I doubt it. (4) Did you do some reading or were both books checked out? (last sentence)Refer to sentence 1. Peas.
Debbe, I hope that you got to sleep in this morning although I know that you have a lot going on even without having to get up for work.
