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

Sticky Fingers

By Jimmy Johnson


Honest! I did not mean to leave the previous post up so long, the one with the comments about the T-shirt clearance sale. However, we have sold a few shirts! The truth is, the holiday deadlines and the holidays themselves have taken their toll on our online enterprises the past few weeks, but that will end soon. About Tuesday, I’ll try to be back on a more regular basis. I was doing so well for a while there. Before then, I will try to be back with a Happy New Year post, but should I not make it, let me wish you an early… Happy New Year!!!

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

    My valley made it up to 47F today, is supposed to drop to 17F tonight, and over the next few days have highs of 38, 36, and 38F with lows of 18, 15, and 18F. That’s about 10F above normal for this time of year. Thanks for lending us some warmth from other areas!

    Happy New Year to all. We are in sunny SoCal with our son and DIL and her parents doing fun things and getting ready to celebrate husband Jim’s 80th birthday tomorrow.

    Nancy Kirk, glad you are someplace warm! Tell Jim that the 80’s aren’t too bad at all; Happy Birthday to him. Boy, this cold weather is something else! I am staying home, warm and snug by the computer. I am feeling good — felt as though I was coming down with a cold a few days ago, then it went away — what luck! I am almost never sick.

    Happy to see that emb is back, and with a new laptop. Was it from Santa Claus? Hope it isn’t giving you too much aggravation. It’s nearly midnight; no tv for me; listening to wqxr in New York City, on the Internet. They are playing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Close to the end, the tenor and then the chorus just came in.

    (Dearest Ghost, your clever allusion to the brass monkey made me smile.)

    Happy New Year to all the dear Villagers. May 2018 bring everyone happiness and peace. Love from wicked cold New Hampshire.

    The folks at our nearby sky resorts would happily trade temperatures with you if they could. They’re getting desperate.

    May 2018 bring with it true blessings for all, especially for Villagers!

    (Did I get in first for 2018 or last for 2017 or neither?)

    Time for a few Ritz crackers with lightly smoked Gouda…no EtOH, since I took some medications not too long ago.

    Happy New Year from Ghost and me. And Dickens.

    Found out that Ritz + smoked Gouda chunk + jalapeno slice = quite enjoyable snack.

    The forecast was right, but I wish it wasn’t. Temperature outside is fluctuating between 5 and 6 degrees F. Happy New Year, stay warm and keep your pets inside if you can.

    Happy new year, friends! ZERO on the temp. reading from the porch. Oh well, up is a good direction to go. 🙂 And it will go up, in time. (Right?) Jerry, has your part of FLorida frozen over? Hope you are ok.

    Rob and his family leave early this morning, I said goodbyes last evening. GEE it was good to see them. He had a new movie and we two watched it at my house- THe Millionaire Unit. (I think?) Anyway WW1 / fliers. A documentary of sort? LOTS of good flying footage.

    Off to see TRs videos now. Thanks again, everyone 🙂

    Happy New Year everyone. Looking forward to more of our favorite couple Arlo &Janis.

    Wow, TR…which did he get first? THe idea of the telescope or obtaining the large mirror and wondering what to do with it?

    cool stuff

    Jimmy- thanks for so much enjoyment!

  15. TruckerRon Avatar

    Llee, I’m fairly positive that he had the idea before he discovered that such a large mirror was available. It’s certainly not one that you’d find every day on eBay!

    I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website.
    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to
    come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your
    theme? Superb work!

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

    But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for
    only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
