Dark Secret

By Jimmy Johnson


When this series first ran in 2005, I received some testy emails from experts who were being paid to say nice things about the tanning-booth industry. I thought I’d give them another crack at me by rerunning the series this week. And come back tomorrow! We’ll start talking about how you can get some A&J stuff and help a good cause by doing so.

    Before my wife & I were married I came home with my shirt inside out.. It wasn’t because I was in a tanning booth

    joe d: That happen to me, but fortunately it was my wife’s fault. The kids were grossed out though.

    Today’s strip is one that I would put on the refrigerator if I still bought a newspaper. However I did save it in my A&J file that I keep on my computer and posted it on Facebook. I love looking at the old strips when I am having a rough day. It makes me smile and even break out laughing, which really confuses folks around me who know how bad of a mood that I was in before I pull them out. Thank JJ.

    JJ, thanks for “We’ve come along ways.” You made me realize that with a little fussing, I could build a WordPress app allowing the Village to talk to each other. Crazy thought.
