A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

A Crab Strip

By Jimmy Johnson

March 19, 1993


The traditional comic strip is comparable to a little play or a little movie. It is a visual medium ideally supported by a plot (albeit simple), action and dialog. However, some of the best “scenes” can be implied. Had to be implied in this case, but would it have been any funnier if I’d actually drawn Janis dancing around sans bikini top? I don’t think so. Yesterday, I said in today’s post I would answer Rob’s question about son Gene and his family on the coast, but that wasn’t entirely accurate. I will address the question soon. It is one I get a lot, and I’m giving it some thought. I don’t have enough time today to do it justice, but I will tackle it soon. Actually, I’m kind of looking forward to it.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and
    let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy I stumbled across this during my search for something regarding this.

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or
    something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog.
