Deal of the Art

By Jimmy Johnson



I’m a little late today, but I have managed to be here every day since Tuesday. I am in a hurry, so I’m leaving you with the remaining to strips from the 1997 arts-festival series. I enjoyed drawing this series, and I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing it again in its six-day entirety. See you next week!

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Good morning. Apparently I typed but did not send the post. We are up early to go work. Susan lost her car keys last night and is frantic searching. I am lending moral support and Dickens is sleeping again.

    It is hot in Texas and the heat and humidity bothers me. I have given up idea of sailing Texas 200, the heat and problems would land me on a Life Flight tour of coast I suspect.

    Technically, the universe does move around the earth if one uses the earth as the fixed reference point. I don’t think that is the point geocentrists are arguing, though!

    Jerry: Did you skip the dinner at the Grand? Breakfast and Dinner are included in the price of the hotel and at those prices, I wasn’t going to eat somewhere else. The breakfast buffet was so nice, that we just had a snack later in the day.

    With a nod to Rick, I will also comment on the 5/25/16 strip by again quoting both Anakin Skywalker and his son, Luke:

    “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

    Dang, this is going to be a long week at this rate. Going forward, simply take it as a given that I like neither Vince nor his reappearance in this venue, especially under the auspices of Janis looking for him. Apply an appropriate exponent to that sentiment and we are set.

    Steve, no thanks. The lunch buffet was enough to do me all day and we wanted to try other places. Scott, I really, really dislike the new look of Dilbert. I hope that’s temporary.

    Simply titled Eve, not hard to figure out what stage in the legend, but unusual not to have hubby along. Don’t see any figs in that woods. Peace,

    Scott Adams has been using guest artists on and off for the past several months- this week it is CNN’s Jake Tapper.

    Hello there! This article could not be written any better! Looking through this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He continually kept talking about this. I am going to send this article to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a very good read. I appreciate you for sharing!
