Today’s retro A&J reaches all the way back to 1994, but I chose it because it relates to the A&J that is appearing for the first time in newspapers and on the Web today. Note the more-or-less original hair styles. A comic strip about a lengthy marriage is something like a lengthy marriage itself. It is a challenge to keep things interesting and fresh when, really, the fundamental reality evolves slowly. I was about to add, “if at all,” but a comic strip and a marriage must evolve to have a chance.
