Weird Wednesday

By Jimmy Johnson


Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"Welcome to what I’m calling “Weird Wednesday,” for lack of anything better. Today, just for fun, I’ve taken a recent cartoon and changed the ending to something… weird. Drawing a reality-based comic strip, even one based loosely on reality such as Arlo & Janis, can be confining. Well, to heck with all that! This being the Internet, where nobody will see it anyway, I thought I’d goof around a bit. To refresh your memory, and to drive up my traffic there, here is the original strip as it appeared on the GoComics Web site January 8.

    Good morning Villagers….

    …and there goes Jackie, fearless Jackie. How does one get to your website, Jackie? And I hope there is a traveling companion. How many cats? Good Luck.

    GR πŸ˜‰ so, you’ve used that line before, heh? Who’d of thunk. πŸ™‚ And yes, people do get crazy when beer is good.

    Jean…glad you’re back and posting, and Miss Charlotte too.

    Old Bear, just love you tidbits of inspirations.

    And guess what, the old flashlight on the hens works….just like the deer. Sometimes I scare myself when I get to thinking.

    Yes, it snowed, but it was fast and furious….sort of like a wam, bam, thank you ma’am. Just a coating. I love the fact that whether.com tells you that’s it’s 20 degrees colder than when it was this time yesterday…..duh.

    ya’ll have a blessed day.

    OF still has last evening’s prediction. It may have been winding down when I checked, shrouded in its own fog.

    Debbe πŸ˜‰ Glad you got a quickie last night…snowstorm, that is.

    The real-time cartoon is not, to me, the eye-roller someone on TDS seemed to think. My dwelling is rather soundproof, and unless there is thunder involved or heavy rain blowing against a nearby window, I can’t tell for sure if it’s raining. So, rather than getting up to look outside, I often make a quick check of My Radar on my smartphone. Lazy? No, just taking advantage of modern technology. πŸ™‚

    Good morning all, gave up on ###### computer and am in business room. Turned cold during night but A/C ran all night! Did ok until I hit the Cajun food and I had crab bisque, fried oysters and sweet potato fries at a favorite restaurant. Resisted bread pudding. It is fun going with someone who has never done any of this stuff, sort of nice to have a wide eyed tourist along who moves my luggage and walks my dog. Minions! Should have found that before.

    Missed you guys all day and wondered what was happening here. Ghost, I want someone who can program computers a little and set up Smart phones. I was sitting in parking lot trying to get my hotel ap to work, could see the hotel across highway and just phoned the %%%% hotel on my flip phone! Minion can’t use a GPS, computer or cell phone, much younger than me. And funny.

    Not visiting any of my Johns on this trip probably as I have a deadline but might on way home, since I need some mahogany from one. That is a long standing joke among my friends, that I have so many Johns we must use a last name and country to keep them straight.

    Love you all. Jackie

    Thanks all, and it’s good to be back in the Village! Not TU yet, just a cold, with accompanying scratchy throat and cough. I’ve worked my way through two boxes of kleenex and half a bottle of NyQuil, and am finally getting back to what passes for normal.

    On, whoever said DayQuil was non-drowsy lied! That stuff puts me out just as fast as the night time stuff.
