Weight of responsibility

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
It’s about time for an update, don’t you think? I warned you last week was going to be busy, although I hadn’t intended to go this long without posting. I’m reaching all the way back to 1989 for today’s retro cartoon. I don’t know if it’s ever been posted on the Web site before, but I know you won’t see it in the syndicate’s online archive, which doesn’t go back nearly that far. I’m going to be showing some older material the next few days, so if you’re a fan of the moldy oldies, stick around. You might see something you haven’t seen for a long time. Or maybe ever.

The book signings were great. I had a huge turnout at my hometown library in Valley, Alabama, on Thursday and a good turnout in Nashville Sunday. The Nashville crowd was small, because we did not manage much publicity beforehand. However, it was a good crowd, and several of the regulars from arloandjanis.com were on hand. You know who you are.
