This is the “edgy” humor that earned me a reputation in the old days. I never saw it coming really; I was just trying to do “married” humor. By the way, the blush color on Janis’ face in the last panel was added this morning by me. When this strip ran in 1991, all daily comic strips were black and white. Readers were adept at transcribing comic strip shorthand. The little lines around her lower face indicated to all that she was blushing. Or had a five-o’clock shadow.
About those t-shirts. Developing my own line of clothing is proving to be more problematic than I imagined. The trick is to order the correct amount of shirts while juggling colors, styles and sizes. Failure would mean not just financial loss but that I might face the prospect of wearing a new A&J t-shirt every day for the rest of my life. Quel horreur! So, here’s probably what’s going to happen. There will be one style offered initially, the arloandjanis.com logo, the car art. I hope to learn a lot from sales of the car shirt. I really expect it all to proceed well, and other designs will follow quickly. I’m just hedging my bets while I learn my way around the world of haute couture. Remember, I really am doing this myself. Like an idiot.

Jay Leno always made fun of British cooking…notably when he claimed the English eat the parts of an animal everyone else throws away.
Spleen tartar, anyone?
Charlotte, frozen peas are good for at least one other thing besides eating when cooked. You can use bagged frozen peas as an ice pack. Since they are granular, they conform well to the contours of wherever they are placed. I was told this bit of wisdom after a surgery when I needed a cold pack for the affected area. Works well, too!
Good morning Villagers….
….or Food morning Villagers 🙂
I love lima beans and ham, and my favorite name brand ham is Kentucky Legend….very lean. As a matter of fact, I think I will suggest to my husband that we have a big pot of it this weekend. Bean soup is good in 30 degree weather.
We buy all frozen vegetable, don’t like canned veggies except a certain brand of pork and beans, you know the commercial….the talking dog named ‘Duke’.
Mark, I’ve heard of using frozen peas as an ice pack works.
GR 😉 just how have you stayed single all these years? I made it to 45 before I said ‘I do’. Did you know the shortest sentence is “I am”, and the longest sentence is “I do”? 🙂
ya’ll have a blessed day

Strip of 10.31.14: Who?
The tone of the Village has certainly improved in the last few days… even though we all still have problems, we are not drug down! The Village is a nice place to be…
Debbe 😉 No plan involved; things just worked out that way. “Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.”
How’s your finger doing?
It’s a nippy morn in the Deep South. Definitely a good one to throw some soup ingredients into the old slow cooker and fire it up.
Outlander, Jimmy is not well known for explaining his cartoons. (If that’s what you were asking.) However, Arlo has a documented history of disliking the now-replaced BCS system for determining which team football is the annual national collegiate champion. However, I can’t remember if he has ever proposed an alternative to either the old or new system for doing so.
My solution: Every year the SEC champs play a rotating schedule of the winners of the other major conferences. In other words, pretty much the way it’s been for the last ten years. 🙂
GR6, I think this is what Outsider meant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp6-wG5LLqE

No, that’s not what I was asking, and Mark has it.
I was actually making a joke.
(Pungent: a fellow who specializes in the juxtaposition of dissimilar ideas, often for humorous effect.)
Jimmy referred to The Who with his comment of “New boss, same as the old boss.”
“Who’s Next” was a best selling album when I was in my late teens, and the line comes from that album.
Jimmy and I are about the age.
