Scenes from the Morgue

By Jimmy Johnson


Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
Here’s something you’ve never seen before. Few have. I produced these vignettes in 1997, why I can no longer remember. I am pretty sure that whatever the reason, they were never used. One of my favorite files (using that word very loosely!) contains such art; there isn’t as much as you might imagine. I’ve never been the kind of compulsive sketcher that most cartoonists seem to be. I’ve always taken that as a sign I missed my calling, as a sign I am not a born cartoonist. Please! I’m not saying I’m not good at it. I think I’ve done rather well. However, it has never come easy, and it can seem suspiciously like work at times, albeit not very strenuous work. Now, where was I going with all this? Well, if I remember, I’ll get back to it tomorrow.

    Good morning Villagers…

    Indy Mindy…I am so jealous, do you read me, so jealous. Paul McCartney live…what a ride! I have on cassette one of their live performances….with Linda. I treasure it. They did play studio versions, it was definitely live….lucky lady, you are.

    Had to take strips of wound…still doesn’t look good, replaced them…..Dr.’s office said it would take about a month to heal…arrrgghhhhh.

    Husband cooks here and is dang good at it and I am .

    Corp (the cute young gentleman) came in to weigh our 28 week old hens. They are up to 3.23 pounds and putting out 191 (average) cases a day so that’s 191 X 360 eggs!!! And I’m still packing with a bad finger….one improvises though.

    Paul McCartney, live, I envy you Indy Mindy…….

    ya’ll have a blessed day………

    Good morning, Villagers. Indy Mindy, nice!

    Debbe, you can put the strips on as often as necessary, the doc was right, it will have to close “by secondary intention,” now. Which as we tell the patients means “it has to heal from the bottom, not the top”. And, yeah, wait for it, “it’ll be healed in about six weeks”. 😀

    Great run this morning, rounds went well, we are back in the office on time, everybody is happy except The Billing Clerk In My Life who is having Man Trouble. Again.

    Debbe, Yes, that was the song. (Guess who almost had a heart attack when giant flames shot up from the stage during “Live and Let Die?”
