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!

Debbe 😉 Sounds like it could have come from where Jackie grew up. 🙂

Janis is like an onion…and we just got to see another layer of her.
In more than 35 years of fulltime teaching, nothing like today’s strip – and I use that word advisedly – ever occurred within my view! Supposedly, there was a short streak at one of my schools, but I wasn’t near the supposed site and also was in a class at the time.
Good morning Villagers….
I just figured the grammar police were out pa-trolling….they are two picky 🙂 Said he wouldn’t be back to check…yeah, right, human nature tells me otherwise.
Jerry, so glad to see you home safe…and looking forward to reading about your travels. Hope you stayed warm. What did you do with your cats?
Jackie, my Miss Prissies are in high gear….192 cases yesterday and the Boss didn’t want me to bring in the colored eggs…he doesn’t like his graph chart zigzagging…could have had at least another half a skid.
Watching the waning moon (or is it waxing) peek through the trees. I love this time of day..quiet, peaceful and everyone is asleep.
….and ya’ll have a blessed Monday
oh, love today’s real time strip…wasn’t it David Niven hosting the Oscars when a streaker ran across the back stage?
Old Bear, you’ve been very quiet….
GR 😉 been there, done that

Streaking…
That’s really a blast from the past.
One of the few things I didn’t do in college.

Here’s David!
Debbe: Waning. If it’s a crescent in the afternoon / early evening, it’s waxing. If it’s a romantic crescent, reflecting in the water at the end of a party in the wee hours, it’s ignorance or poetic license. Full rises in the E. as Sol sets in the W. If a crescent rises at sunset, it’s a Full in partial eclipse. Wove that into a bit of cardboard fiction that I wrote about Raki, my autistic spectrum heroine who had a Copernican moment 10,000 years ago in Anatolia [6 episodes sev. yr. ago in The Bemidji Pioneer].
Streaking: saw the tail end, literally, of a streak, into the back door of Memorial Hall, the building next door at BSU.. 3 guys. Whoopee fizz. May have heard of some others, but nothing notorious.
Six or more unintended pregnancies among coeds who were friends, none of whom streaked, to my knowledge. At least 3 married the guys and stayed married. One’s email bounces back, and I’ve not been able to learn details. She was in her 60s, so may have left us. As an undergrad, BTW, she was an RA in the dorms. We were at the wedding. She and her entourage all wore Empire waist dresses.
Peace,
I missed streaking, I was married and respectable minor socialite. Due to my late husband’s TV and movie addiction I think I saw that on camera streak, we had a TV by then over my protesting body. In fact, I had one child and a second on the way as the country song goes.
Run on sentence. Good morning. Lowes delivery woke me up. Even on the road.
So, did Janis attend art school? I remember an early (first year of the comic) episode with Janis behind a drafting board and other times behind a desk- I assumed she was a trained engineer or designer of some sort.
I was a in middle school when streaking was a national fad; never saw a live streak but did here of a few incidents around town. I remember the Oscars streak, although some people claim it was a staged event. More recently, I’ve seen videos of streakers at Wimbledon and various European sporting events, so they still exist in the wild.
The streakers were shortsighted. If they’d just waited a few years and recited a few lines of Shakespeare while running, it would have been declared “art” and all good.
OK, I’ll stop now. 🙂
Streaking past the arts dept doesn’t necessarily mean Janis was an arts student. The engineers often did things in front of the arts students just to antagonize them. (I may have mooned them but I never streaked.)
Hey, nudists run 5K events! We hold one at my club. Knowing the reaction out in rural areas of anyone RUNNING I can imagine! It would be assumed you were running for your life. OK, I had some funny thoughts here which I will not post. My breasts don’t stay still in a sports bra.
Although when Mike got stung by a Portuguese man of war while body surfing and went into shock I ran top less down the beach in front of thousands of tourists. The triangle was small so they may not have seen it. Top fell off running.
Jackie, that’s an exciting story from your life that you’ve not told us of before! How long before help arrived, and did Mike recover well from the jellyfish stings? It must have been awful for both of you!
Charlotte, Hawaii and living and working there was an adventure. Luckily there were medical personnel on beach and epi pen and someone with a bottle of meat tenderrizer and we got him to hospital. The ones that got him have tentacles about 40 to 50 feet long and wrap your body.
That was a dangerous beach for undertow. I was out playing in waves another time and looked out and I was with the surfer line, way out. Ended up being tumbled head over tail onto beach multiple times before I got rescued.
Last Thursday I drove 5 1/2 hours to see my younger sister who is in the hospital with stage-4 cancer (only diagnosed 2 months ago). She was mostly unresponsive but did open one eye for a couple of minutes. She passed this afternoon. The trip was mostly to comfort my mother. Parents should not outlive their children.
I would much prefer to hear more about Jackie’s topless running.
Sorry to read that, Gary. Agreed, topless stories of anyone are much more pleasant.
Sorry Gary… prayers.
Sorry, Gary. Too true about parents losing children. Went through it with my brother and SIL losing my niece age 23.
Gary – Many hugs to you and your family.
Gary and kin: courage and peace.
So far I’ve lucked out: 55, 58, 60, all still alive, and all 3 grandkids alive. Cancer is bad, but not necessarily preventable. Several friends have lost kids over the decades, a few preventable [e.g., those caused directly or indirectly by EOH]. Most recent a one-car crash, no details available. See parent every week.
All, like Elaine, are in Elohim’s hands.
Peace,
