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

Est. 1985

Extra, Extra!

And football…

OK, I know it isn’t Labor Day yet, but we’re heading into the week of the Labor Day weekend, and at the rate I’ve been posting lately, this has a good chance of holding up. You may remember early last January, I promised you there’d be a brand new Web site in place by the 30th anniversary of A&J in July. Well, I’m sorry that didn’t happen. Instead, it’s not been a very exciting summer around here, but I’ll try to do better—at least post more regularly. I thank those of you who’ve expressed concern. I’m OK. And I thank all those who return only to be disappointed. I apologize for that. Please don’t give up just yet.

    Why would anyone complain about a lack of updates at this link. It’s fun as it is and doesn’t need daily care or contributions.

    Great daily comics though and a lot of the themes my wife and I can relate to. And that makes it even more special.

    Thank you.

    I have to note that by later today the remains of the current storm will be exactly where Katrina was 10 years ago although it will be weaker. Current NHC radar seems to show the storm may have broken in two with some reformation beginning south of Cuba and moving NW. By the time I post again I will have seen a lot of rain and I hope that is all. See you Tuesday night or Wednesday.

    Maybe you don’t know that this Reply section disappeared at post # 295. We’d been unable to send or receive for several days, sort of solitary confinement for us addicts.

    Debbe My sister-in-law lost her purse, but I didn’t feed the hungry. Glad that you cleared that up.

    My ex-SIL (20* years) is in the last stages of her fight against cancer. The cancer is inoperable, but her bone marrow is not producing red blood cells. Yesterday she posted a courageous, beautiful account of her condition on Facebook and that she might have few days, weeks or maybe a month or two. It seems that the Holy Spirit is working as her pain is bearable and her attitude is astounding.

    Her only regret was not being around for her grown daughters. That brought a tear.

    Debbe, the cooking and meals are erratic and undependable. Last night I ate whole grain bread, fat free pepper ham, Muenster cheese and balsamic mayonnaise sandwich about 10 p.m. without benefit of bothering to grill it! But with big glass of tea. It was my second “meal” of the day and you were probably already asleep. Ended up exercising until around 3 a.m. and haven’t had enough sleep.

    Love, Jackie

    Thanks, Jimmy and all who have written. I’ve been here too. Thanks, CXP, for the great language site. Language has always fascinated me.

    College football season is right around the corner. We will be making the treks to The Loveliest Village (Auburn) soon.

    Blessings for everyone.
