A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

Everything Must Go!!

By Jimmy Johnson



As promised, the T shirts are on sale! We’re going to start knocking down some walls at this Web site soon, and we’ll need the space. The T shirts, all styles, are on sale for $15. That’s half price, and shipping is included. It is a clearance sale, though. Colors and sizes are limited to what’s in the inventory. When these two ground-breaking designs are gone, they’ll never be back. They are good shirts. Ask those who paid twice as much as you will. Just click on the gaudy banner above to shop. The art sale will begin this afternoon or Saturday. I’ll work on that this morning. It’s a good day for it: winter has arrived. We’re under a winter storm warning for the remainder of today.
(Haberdasher’s note: The T-shirt sale will continue until the end of the year, but selections will never be better than they are as you read this!)

    Well, I bought my shirt. Just got one. Four total since they first became available. Hoping you’ll have new designs coming out at a later date. 🙂

    I’ve always loved that old strip. <3

    Actually, there will be new designs in the spring, but I haven’t emphasized that, because I want to sell as many of these as I can! — JJ

    The designs are great. But at six foot five if it isn’t tall size, it does not fit right. Tails are way too short and sleeves end before the wrist. No winter storm watch here but doggoned cold. Coldest night since last January, says the tv weather.

    Like an old fashioned winter. I like it. Below freezing tonight. Dare I mention the “s” word.

    Melcher’s humor aside, I love this painting. It’s entitled ‘Gemeindeschreiber’. Near as I can tell, that’s Schweizerdeutsch for municipal council clerk or town clerk. Learned term ‘Schweizerdeutsch’ from a native Berliner back in the ’80s, girl who would have been our foreign exchange student were it not for the outfit’s incompetence. That’s ok, she landed a good site, probably one better suited to her urban background.

    Bought some tee shirts to help the cause, cause I love a good clearance sale.

    Ghost is lying under flannel sheets and a single light quilt watching it snow in his hometown in southern Mississippi.

    I am on top of the quilt shopping and doing leg lifts before breakfast. I am cooking.

    Even bald heads I guess. Sickens sleeps curled on mine. Fortunately Ghost loves the little fur ball.

    Jackie, your description of Dickens sleeping curled on your head brings to mind Davy Crockett’s coonskin cap.

    Yes, that is what he looks like.

    Also reminds me of Country Bear Jamboree at Disneyland and Disney World.

    I would like to buy one. I’m a woman. They say they are unisex. How big is a Medium shirt? I’m trying to decided between medium and small.

    By the way, they don’t have the Country Bear Jamboree at Disneyland anymore, only at Walt Disney World. Bear Country now consists of a Winnie the Pooh ride and Splash Mountain, based on the B’rer Rabbit cartoon.

    Go with the medium, Barbara. THe ones I got ran small.

    I concur. Medium

    Should we start a petition drive for women’s sizes next time? These are nice shirts, but on me the medium is a little snug while the large is huge.

    Got 2 Luddie shirts. And by searching Arlo and Janis, lucked into a copy of Bop Till You Drop for $69.95. Woo-hoo!

    I was led to believe that I’d only be able to stay in Oklahoma if I wore jeans [check] and Western boots [check] and drove a pickup truck [check]. So now the company from which I purchased the jeans is sending me daily emails to entice me to buy more of them. One of the items I saw earlier today brought unbidden to mind what would undoubtedly be the World’s Worse Pick-Up Line: “Gurrl, you’re so hot those must be Wranger® FR Cool Vantage Flame Resistant Jeans you’re wearing!”

    Ghosty One,
    Does your Okie uniform include a dinner plate sized belt buckle? If not, everyone will immediately know you’re an outsider.

    Sadly, sand, I did not know that and purchased a merely salad plate sized belt buckle. Back to the drawing board.

    Jackie suggests finding one from a rodeo event from 50+ years ago, so no one will wonder why they don’t recognize me. She also says it cannot be too large, or the pony will not be able to carry both me and the buckle. So now I’m wondering if I’m getting a pony for Christmas.

    I am reminded of the story of The Littlest Cowboy, who hung a stocking in the bunk house on Christmas Eve. The other cowboys decided to play a joke on him, so after he went to bed they filled the stocking with horse manure. The next morning, they asked him what Santa had brought him. “I think he brought me a pony,” The Littlest Cowboy told them sadly, “but it must have run away.”

    Some of the original art’s up. Starting price $100 each or $250 to buy outright.

    Ghost, while Jackie’s looking through the stuff at Goodwill you can be looking for old buckles. Or go to the flea market at the Fairgrounds in Tulsa. Bet you could find one there.
