Knock Knock Joke

By Jimmy Johnson

Today we have a Saturday post featuring an A&J from 2004. As I have mentioned, I’ll be in New England in August, at the Boston Comic Con Aug. 12-14 and at the Vermont Comic Con Aug. 27-28. This is my first real venture into this sort of thing, and I chose New England, because I have a lot of readers there whom I’ve never had a chance to meet. I have shipped more copies of “Beaucoup Arlo & Janis” to Massachusetts than to any other state. I am happily aware I have followers in other places as well, particularly the upper Midwest. I am thinking I might do this convention thing two or three times a year if all goes well in the northeast. I’m open to suggestions for appearances in 2017. Do you have a comics convention where you live? It seems everyone does!
Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Actually I just got home. Went to two different Country and Western clubs. Drank Diet Cokes. It is rodeo night and Whole Hawg Days here in town. I would comment that only a couple of the older gentlemen looked fit enough to ride a horse and definitely none of younger ones!

    Music wasn’t that bad and I was on good behavior except for being only woman there who could have worn lace shorts I wore. Where do they shop? I still had a good time but I need to find a good rock band closer than Tulsa.

    Aspertame is bad for you. They say it has the same effect as tequila.

    EMB:

    I’m sure about the second bomb.

    After the first, the Emperor wanted to surrender, and most or all of the military leaders urged him to reconsider.

    Then, some of the leaders planned to take him hostage to prevent him from surrendering. (I can’t recall if the plan had actually been put into action.) The leaders wanted to fight until the Allies were repulsed or the last Japanese had died.

    The second bomb was a necessary tragedy.

    I’m not surprised that Massachusetts buys a lot of books, A&J ran in the Boston Globe from early on, and we loved it. They were clipped out and put on fridges everywhere.

    Not a lot of work-re.ated strips overall, but the few I saw were funnier in the 1980s than Dilbert was in the 1990s. These were clipped out and put on cubicle walls.

    Lots of good, smart folks in Massachusetts, people who understand our neighbor Bernie Sanders better than someone who will yammer some dumb punchline about so-shul-izm, for example. But I’ll tell you that when I moved away, one of the main things I really missed was having A&J in the local newspaper.
