And still at the beach! Obviously, these strips were drawn as Gene was about to leave the scene for college. That was nine years ago. Now, he has graduated, married and is struggling to establish himself and his young family. I’d say the strip is moving along in close to real time.
Not surprisingly, there are those among you who know much more about Kickstarter projects than I. I wish I could have sat down and talked to you beforehand! Pursuant to comments yesterday, I do want to say that I will be assisting a non-profit organization in the raising of funds. None of the money will darken my bank account. In fact, the last piece of the puzzle involves waiting for the non-profit’s new credit card to arrive. This being 2016, a Kickstarter account must be associated with a credit card, and this 169-year-old organization does not have one. It should arrive next week; as soon as it does, the project will go live.
I am using the extra time to tweak the rewards and the fun. Thanks for yesterday’s suggestions; I will consider them—except for the one about coming to your place to take you to dinner. No offense. Some of the rewards already in place won’t surprise you. Some of them might. I’m getting excited!

[remember to close expl ore up before clicking] homed in on several giraffes browsing on open acacia [I think] forest. Right now il pleut. 2-3 days ago, it was raining so hard one could hardly see the landscape.
Peace,
emb, I’ve always liked Eulalie, and I’m sorry not to have seen your lovely wife in that role. She must have been grand!
Jerry, I hope Tippy is well and recovered. Our fur babies, as a friend refers to them, are members of the family, and we care for them as such.
Ah. So it’s the undersides of her upper arms Janis was checking for sagging and jiggle. My first thought was, well, something else.
Real time strip. Recently shopping super sale upscale. Woman by me searching. I pull out top and say here, this would be beautiful.
Horror! Sleeveless! Nothing without sleeves, her arms juggled!
I own that top in more than one color and love it. My arms jiggle. So what? Gravity gets us all in the end. Mine probably jiggle less than hers and I am older. It is all relative and meaningless.
Jimmy hit it here.
Ghost, Debbe and Jackie, have a few laughs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln8oA1F31l8
Remember the western movie in this theme? Henry Fonda was in it. Comedy.
“The Cheyenne Social Club”…one of my favorites. You forgot Jimmy Stewart.
And as Arlo says, don’t hold your arms like that. Unless you are an Old West gunfighter, it’s not a natural position to carry your arms in anyway. It’s done only to justify some women’s fears of that arm jiggle Jackie speaks of. Get over it, please, ladies.
Yep! One of my favorite westerns of all me along with Cat Ballou and Best z little Wborehouse
Hal went into fits on that last title, didn’t he?
At AT&T right now.
Hey, Arlo. They’re selling your car: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/motoring/the-very-first-shelby-cobra-the-most-valuable-car-at-auction-eve/
Everybody must have run off to bid?
What? Did Jimmy post strips?
No, look at my post before that one.
JJ, get some Arlo & Janis ribbons made and give them out to the people who come up to your table. Having the longest string of ribbons hanging from your convention badge gives you bragging rights and there are people who will come over, ask questions and maybe get interested in the strip just because they wanted another ribbon. (Naturally, you have to start a fresh string at each con; only wannabes wear ribbons from other cons.) I know one lady who’s made a cloak out of one convention’s ribbons, and is saving up ribbons from various cons to make a skirt, because there’s just not enough ribbons at any one of them.
In case you’re wondering, most of the ribbons are handed out by the members, often for trade. I have three that I give out. One reads BOFH (Look it up if you’re curious.) and only goes to a select few. One reads TURNIP, and is given out during blood drives to those of us who can’t donate for medical reasons and the last one, The Ribbon of Rassilon, is for trade.
I still think a set of these in the A&J characters would do well in the Village.

Jackie, times must be tough in Tulsa. Monday, according to The Tulsa World, a man was arrested for hocking a Glock handgun and a Remington shotgun at a local pawn shop. The weapons weren’t stolen (exactly), but the man was a Tulsa police officer and the pistol and shotgun were his department-issued service weapons. I suspect he’s got a lot of ‘splaining to do.
Ref today’s “arm jiggle” cartoon:
The patient says, “Doctor, it hurts when I do this.”
“Then don’t do that!”
I miss Henny Youngman.
In anticipation of soon-to-skyrocket fuel prices, I stopped for fuel on the way home. Had a rare salt craving, and bought a $1.49 bag of sour cream and cheddar ruffles. Munched my way through about half and had my fill. Being lazy, I left the open bag on the small bookshelf that doubles as a side table next to the couch.
While I showered, a certain four-pawed menace *cough*Blacklight*cough* also decided some chips would be a perfect snack. If she actually filched a chip, I will never know. What I DO know is she managed a direct hit with my leftover chips into my open purse on the floor.
In other news, the new car is a dream, and work is aggravating. Oh, wait, NEW news? Hmm, not so much. Doing a split double/double tomorrow, (first, thirds-into-first), so off to bed. Did I mention the city fireworks go off four blocks from my house? And the main concert stage for the summer concert series is right next to that? I love my job…
Ate watermelon for snack and going to bed. Not smart.
Really tired but Canada and boat is happening. Glad I am taking my friend on trip she deserves for bad breakup, plus happened while she was helping me do good building boats for cancer fundraiser.
Still wish I were going with a male, I mean some of these places are cool and romantic or at least climatically cool and sort of glam. At least interesting.
Obviously, Jackie, we need to find you a gentleman friend.
Debbe 😉 I understand that back in May of this year, there was a three-day “Ferris Fest” in Chicago commemorating the 30th anniversary of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”.

If everything goes as planned I should have the convertible in about 10 days. Looking forward to it. Oh, and Tippy is fine. They had to shave his front legs to put in IV, but he doesn’t care.
Jerry when I had Dickenson at vet there was huge poster of poisonous stuff for cats on one side, dogs on other highest to lowest source of poisoning. Had things even I had not known.
