Arlo & Janis, Uncensored!

By Jimmy Johnson


Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
Now that I have your attention, take a look at this old comic strip from 1985, less than six weeks after the debut of Arlo & Janis. Don’t the characters look weird? But that’s not why I’m showing you this particular strip. I’m showing you this strip, because it is the only A&J strip ever changed or rejected by syndicate editors because of risqué content. United Media editors in New York struck the words “without a bra.” Apparently, other cartoonists have groaning file drawers filled with material rejected by an editor for salaciousness, and the annoyed cartoonists take their revenge by publishing this forbidden material on their own Web sites, to the delight of readers. If you believe my reputation, you would think that I would have the groaningest file drawers of all. I am sorry to disappoint you. I am at a loss to explain this.

    I knew you were pretty, but I didn’t know you were so deep…I wonder , how you carry yourself with so much maturity.
    Beauty is a common thing, but for people with positive energy, that’s rare it’s like a big breath of fresh air when I walk into the building and see you here.

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any
    issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site
    has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or
    outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up
    all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off?

    I’d certainly appreciate it. scoliosis surgery https://0401mm.tumblr.com/ scoliosis surgery

    Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
