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

Est. 1985

Extra, Extra!

Busted!

By Jimmy Johnson


Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
Well, maybe not a new family, exactly. This old classic is from the spring of 1997, not long before Arlo had his hair cut. Obviously, this site has been limping along, lately. I’ve been very busy with other things, but I haven’t forgotten about you, appearances to the contrary. Actually, I am traveling this week. I am in Memphis, and I have a good excuse! Yesterday, I was privileged to be among several cartoonists assembled at St. Jude’s Research Hospital to draw for some of the young patients there. It was a great day, but I’m looking forward to getting back to work.

    Good morning folks. The dawn almost missed me today! But here I am, missed it only barely, the light woke up from a SOUND sleep. I’ve a black and white “Kitler” kitty sitting behind my computer screen admiring the view from the office of the birds as well and Skippers ears poking up behind the top of screen. Computer with ears.

    Debbe. of I hadn’t been so darned wiped out and if you kept being AWOL I would have made it there a lot sooner than with a boat. I can locate just about anything, including a chicken and egg operation, given enough clues! Even in the country.

    On hypnosis, I did a couple of years with a diet guru in Houston who actually ended his interview with 60 Minutes with Mike Douglas as the winner. I said 60 Minutes should have gotten the film of the Brinks security trucks doing their three times a day run behind the clinic to pick up the cash! Followed that one up with another hypnosis shrink who used it to get you to revisit your past relationships and lives. It can be done effectively and I learned to do self-hypnosis and visualization imagery, tapes that would put you under in a flash, and that I apparently did have past lives. Don’t laugh, surely I am not only Villager who has been hypnotized here?

    Ghost, my new lawyer Erin is absolutely gorgeous blonde, in first class at Harvard after they “integrated” and let in the first 100 women. Got a pre-med degree, then a psychology degree, then graduated from Harvard law school. We loved each other, I now have another new best friend forever. She said she was so glad I didn’t sign the consent forms to Playboy and hoped I did get all the negatives back! She said it would have been a waste of a good mind and yes, I need to write the book, she agrees. I never lie to anyone, especially a lawyer with a psychology degree!

    Love, Jackie

    re: up above a ways, and Foghorn Leghorn’s voice and speaking was based on Senator Claghorn from the Fred Allen radio program. I was born in 1958, why do I know this stuff ?? anyway, Foghorn was pretty important in the pantheon, I would say about equal, maybe more so than the Roadrunner, definitely more important than Pepe LePew. … … .. Why are people older than I remember?, since my wife died and I see the people I only saw rarely anyway, like the ant/termite guy and the pond guy, they’re balder and/or grayer than I remember

    John, everyone is older than me, even the ones I know are not. Age is a matter of the mind and the soul and some people just age faster and keep aging. One is as young as one is willing to work to stay or to regain, as in my case. I have a friend who built a beautiful Scamp, named it “Forever Young”. I love that. Love, Jackie
