This A&J from 1997 caught my eye this morning. For me, offbeat strips such as this are fun to think up and draw. Of course, it isn’t profound. It isn’t even “about” Arlo and Janis, but it works. It’s a good feeling for a cartoonist to reach the 19th hole feeling as if he got a good shot off even if the lie was in the wrong fairway.

At this point I have no idea if Allstate will repair or total. I thought about that naming too. I got the Trigger from a friend posting Happy Trails to You for me with Roy singing.
If they repair he stays Trigger but maybe Redoux or Too?
Ghost, I REALLY need to go to Puget Sound and Port Townsend to check on Stella and progress on repairing her. Could you check weapons laws for more western States? Besides, it is a really neat town with great food and people. And history.
Debbe 😉 This is what fooling around can get you sometimes.

How about Trigger 1.1
Trigger Jr.
That first horse should have been
Buttermilk = Dale Evans
Scout = Tonto
Topper = Hopalong Cassidy
Tony = Tom Mix
Champion = Gene Autry
Horse = Dudley Do-Right
Flicka = Ken McLaughlin (show & book My Friend Flicka)
Koko = Rex Allen
GM Debbe
Traveler = Robert E Lee
Cincinnati = U.S. Grant
John Wayne’s = “Duke”, “Starlight”, “Banner”, “Steel”, “Alamo”, “Dollar”,
“Beau” and “Cochise”.
Songbird = Sky King’s plane a Cessna 310B
I love cars or trucks named for horses. My last F150 was red but it’s name was Old Blue for the horse Lee Marvin rode as gunfighter in Cat Ballou.
From this morning’s online Bemidji Pioneer. Haven’t read the above overnight posts yet.

Peace,
Today’s TIP BlogSpot:

Returned from travels to be delighted with a daily feature straight from our window, amazing.
Very doubtful I will catch up on almost two weeks of postings; kisses and hugs to the Village as appropriate or needed.
The Chicago Cubs have won the World Series and we are all still here. That’s one theory shot. Now if the Detroit Lions were to win a Super Bowl…..
Yay, Cubs. Believe my older son is a fan; became one when he was at Garrett-Evangelical Theol. Sem. in Evanston, Il.
So Arlo and Ludwig know Janis w/b out soon? Is that the only point?
Peace,
Livecam highlights. Orcas at the moment. Close expl ore. Peace,

My take from last night: A pretty good game to wrap up an OK World Series. (My next understatement will be released soon.)
embarrassed, the point is that Arlo and Ludwig are behaving like slovenly males eating soup and crackers, sharing it, picking their teeth, crackers and them thrown into sofa. The dryer stops and their behavior changes, they clean up their act and straighten up and fly right.
It is a commentary on the effect of women on men and wild beasts, who without us would still be living in caves gnawing on bison bones.
Let it not be said I do not understand Jimmy and the deep meaning behind his humor. And I can analyze it, which makes me unlike TDS. Which is why I never go there.
That is NOT supposed to be embarrassed but emb. I have been Hal-ed again. In dark.
Point of order…I live in a constructed dwelling but I still like to gnaw on pork rib bones occasionally. 🙂
Jimmy, today’s real-time strip hit home, especially the crumbs on Arlo. I will never understand men’s ability to produce and wear crumbs—it must be their superpower.
Jackie, you wrote “In case the revolution occurred about then.” If it does, my contribution is knitting. I figure once the the supply of socks in stores wears out, I can barter handknit socks (as long as I stay in a cool climate!). 😉
Old Bear, my Dad’s favorite cowboy was Tom Mix (Dad born in ’27). Thanks for letting me know what his horse’s name was! (And for the Sky King blast from the past!)
Welcome back, sandcastler!
emb, they are eating messily in the living room, but are safe from detection by Janis as long as they hear her hairdryer.
Good morning and welcome back sand. Big news on my front is that I got hit in Trigger by a DWI going 90 mph to my 70 mph at 12.30 a.m. on interstate who then did hit and run and left her car blocking both lanes of interstate and most of my trucks rear gone. I kept truck straight and never lost control, broke a nail.
Had I had my gun in cab I would have made a citizens arrest. Is there such a thing?
Was driving Mark to his mom’s funeral as he does not have car. His nephew wrecked Mark’s suv after he gave it to brother who had moved mother to live with him.
Point score Ghost. I ALWAYS gnaw on pork chop bones unless I am in a five star restaurant where either that finishing school kicks in or the pork is usually boneless for rest of world who didn’t learn how to eat fried chicken with knife and fork.
Lewis Grizzard always said he didn’t eat anywhere fancier than Waffle House where he could gnaw on the bones.
