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

Est. 1985

Extra, Extra!

A Different Tack

By Jimmy Johnson

February 5, 1996


Today’s A&J oldie goes way back, to 1996. As usual, you can click on the link beneath the strip and view all the entries in what was a week-long sequence. It makes a little more sense in context. Arlo’s love of boats and things salty was a major theme in the strip for many years. It isn’t so much these days, but who knows? Things can change.

    The same woman said one of her instructors had told them that a person’s armspan, measured fingertip to fingertip, would be the same as their height. She tried that out on me, and found that my armspan was about a foot more than my height. There’s always exceptions.

    The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple
    ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now
    broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off
    topic but I had to share it with someone!

    Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared
    to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about
    worries that they plainly do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole
    thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

    Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to
    get guidance from someone with experience.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! scoliosis surgery https://0401mm.tumblr.com/ scoliosis surgery
