Remember “More” magazine? It was a magazine dedicated to telling women how great it is to be old. “More” ceased publication in April. Gee, imagine that. This is a special Saturday edition of arloandjanis.com. As I told you earlier this year, I will be in New England for the Boston Comic Con, Aug. 12-14, and for the Vermont Comic Con, Aug. 27=28. I have a lot of readers in New England, and I am looking forward to meeting some of them. I just learned, however, that the Boston Comic Con potentially could sell out of tickets before the event, meaning buying tickets online beforehand is the only way to guarantee entrance. If you’re interested, you can visit their Web site. I thought I should mention it. Exhibitors (That would be me!) don’t get a direct share of the gate. They just sell things. At the A&J table, autographs and conversation will be free. I hope to see as many of you as possible.

Here’s at least part of what Jackie wanted to post – http://bootsmotel.homestead.com/index.html
Between Jimmy and William Shatner, it’s no wonder that con is selling out.
Complaints to Thomas Cook Vacations
8. “No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared.”
Leaving aside personal opinions of Trump or the Brexit results, you have to hand it to the British for creativity in name-calling. There are several compilations going around of responses to his comments yesterday; these are a few of my favorites: “weapons-grade plum”, “mangled apricot hellbeast”, “bloviating flesh bag”, “Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries” – oh wait, that last one’s Monty Python.

My friends in England and the Commonwealth are distressed. Apparently my traditional dinghy builders and sailors supported remaining. Mark explained the situation to me but I feel sorry for my friends who are most distraught and are talking of leaving England.
Regarding dire predictions now that Britain has chose to leave the EU: Those prophecies are from the same sort of experts who predicted wonderful things for Britain when they were choosing to join the EU. How accurate were they then?
The problem with predictions is that they usually don’t come true. The “dire” part is when things happen that we were not expecting. American news media has been ignoring what was going on in the UK and Europe because they think that the sun revolves around the US. Two world wars began from very similar circumstances.
Jerry you are right. I knew because I have a lot of friends from England and Commonwealth. Mark reads an English newspaper regularly. We probably heard nothing from our news sources.

Here is latest mystery blues song sent to me.
Junior Wells singing “Oh, Pretty Woman” and this is as unexplained as the constant men contacting me through a dating service. Because that is what it is.

Whoever is sending these knows me. They fit.
A short quote from Tom Kratman, which if read and understood, explains why the UK voted to leave the European Union. This is perhaps the only real difference between a current day Marxist and a current day Transnational Progressive, or Tranzi. The Marxist expects a different result from doing everything important the same, as if there is any freedom that doesn’t include economic freedom, as if there is any path to socialism that will not be paved with bodies, as if socialism has ever managed to create anything beyond corpses, poverty and oppression?.?.?.?oh, and lots of pieces of third-rate military equipment and a new entrenched upper class backed by a ruthless secret police and outrageous propaganda, too, of course.
The Tranzi, on the other hand, expects to maintain and expand modern, enlightened, prosperous, liberal society while opening up the borders that shelter that society to unlimited numbers of the least assimilable and most reactionary, most traditional and hidebound, least economically productive cultures on the face of the Earth. This wouldn’t be so bad, or so insane, did they not at the same time insist that nothing be done to even try to assimilate the immigrants from those cultures to modern, enlightened, liberal values. (Do you suppose there were pro-Vandal, pro-Hun and pro-Goth immigration public interest groups in ancient Rome? Societies usually rot from the inside out so it does seem likely.)
The Tranzi also insists on enlightening the rest of the world, but rejects any and every means that might actually work.
This, friend, is the other kind of insanity.
Hah!

And if you don’t understand the last picture, look up Red Dwarf.
‘Brexit’ to be followed by Grexit. Departugal. Italeave. Fruckoff. Czechout. Oustria. Finish. Slovakout. Latervia. Byegium.
You lost me after Star Trek and Star Wars.
Jackie, this is the last image on bottom right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dwarf
I think the third one, bottom left, might be the Republican government of the Star Wars movies, before it was destroyed.
Somebody suggested once that the Village eschew politics [aside from carrying, of course].
80% chance of scattered t-showers here today. None scattered to Bemidji, but I had a 2h40m nap, so am ahead.

Funny. I have a friend who recreates several periods and he does all the speech of whatever period he’s in so I had heard some of these. They were pretty creative in their insults. I always wondered how he could remember how to switch from period to period?
I’d be insulting in wrong century and language.
It appears that Janis had an encounter with a “fresh” fish.
I doubt that Jimmy ever drew more consecutive panels of swim-suited female bodies than these eight. There was that time Janis attracted the attention of some college boys on the beach, but she was wearing a cover-up then.
Can anyone guess what image Panel 2 of the second cartoon above and Debbe’s mention of going to Padre Island conjures up in my mind? Hint: It’s an orange string bikini. 🙂
Dear Steve from Royal Oak, I really love your puns after Brexit. They are funny and creative. I’d love to send them to my family, but I don’t know how.
Oops I did not see the French one. My apologies.
I googled it was it was on a meme on Facebook. I then cut and pasted it here.
