A Grave Matter

by Jimmy Johnson


Today’s old comic strip is from 2002. I hate to be the one to tell Arlo, but there’s a lot more gravity in 2018 than there was then. There’s so much, in fact, both my feet rarely leave the ground at the same time anymore without the assistance of an ottoman. It’s Mardi Gras, by the way. The current A&J deals with that in newspapers and over at gocomics.com. When I lived near New Orleans, the NOLA television stations would broadcast Mardi Gras carryings-on all day on Fat Tuesday. I know: it sounds dumb. However, I rather enjoyed checking in throughout the day via TV. It was something different and festive, with no crowds, no parking problems and no unidentifiable liquids underfoot.

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Is everyone busy watching the Olympics? It’s been a very quiet day in the Village.

    David, and the rest of the crew, I think something is not right. Couldn’t go this long with no posts.

    Being startled by a friend calling out to me, I took a short tumble down 2 concrete steps. Amazingly, I barely scraped my right knee and bruised a muscle in my right thumb in the process. I can’t recommend it as an activity, especially since it resulted in some atrocious puns by that friend. 🙁
