There seems to be a problem this morning with the comics.com Web site; I expect by the time most of you read this it will have been repaired. However, if you can’t get to the current A&J comic strip by clicking on the above link as usual, try again later. Feel free to write me about it if you wish, but I warn you that I will not have time to reply and that there is nothing I can do about problems on the United Media Web site anyway.

I thought, for most of us, the above strip from 1990 would be appropriate. You readers in the northeast, protect your tender vegetation!
