This old A&J is from October, 1995. Note the email address in the third panel. No, don’t write me there; it won’t do either of us any good. I called it to your attention, so I could mention that Arlo & Janis was one of the first strips out there to make use of email. Innovation was so easy back then! Speaking of innovation, I have seen the beta version of the new GoComics website, and you can, too. Go to the GoComics site and select “blog” from the menu there. Scroll down until you find the post about the new changes, and there’s a link there. It isn’t exactly what I was expecting, but I also was told this was to be a multi-phase project, so I will withhold comment. You, on the other hand, needn’t feel so constrained.

Ate at home tonight. Comment was based on a commercial I saw during the football game I was watching sporadically. Glad you enjoyed the Whiffenpoofs.
HAL must be in a B&D mood to have spelled it “Whippenpoofs”.

Peace,
Mindy, those are two cute kitties! Thanks for sharing!
Dinner after the concert was delicious too. Italian at Zio’so, I had chicken marsala on bed of vegs, no pasta and tomato Florentino soup as appetizer.
Debbe 😉 Perhaps a problem, perhaps not, but I’m even more uninhibited now than I was back in the day. 🙂 More hippie chick music for you.

Copied from yesterday where I put it before I realized the Village had moved on even though I hadn’t.
Mark, as others have said, the circumstances always differ when you lose a parent, and not infrequently you do know it’s for the best, but it is always a time of grief. I too send my deepest sympathy.
Ghost, if you do come to visit that cousin in Tucson, I’m going to be REALLY sad if you don’t get in touch with me some way!
That could likely be arranged, Nancy. 🙂
I am going to be really disappointed if I never get to meet a man who is even more uninhibited than he was “back in the day.” Who me? I am the one going backward and sorry folks but if I ever had inhibitions they disappeared along the way. Just trying to find someone like me or even similar with no success. Too old, too conservative, too self conscious, too too too.
I swear there was a young man on stage who looked like the only Yale man I remember dating but he had flunked out and was down incognito in Louisiana. Ironically he had also been engaged to a bi-sexual girl from my finishing so hooligans. The class ring shocked him. Any way, the Whippenpoofs was a legacy, his father finished Yale with honors.
Finishing school although hooligans probably fit those WASP children of r,cess and the 2%.
I was just the token southern white trash.
About today’s current strip, strip is right word. It is hot here, I am running ac and wearing only enough to sleep in that I can keep it on and not be arrested if I walk around house or front. I am with Janis here. Hot.
Good morning Villagers…..
Mark, you have my sympathy, and prayer……..Amen. Glad you are getting settled in your new ‘digs’.
Indy Mindy, love the cats sleeping on my blanket….got one that looks just like it 🙂 They’re pretty warm on a cold winter’s night.
Have a blessed day one and all.
GR 😉 pray we are all able to walk through….

Belmiro de Almeida’s title is ‘The chatterbox’, but remember, men chatter and gossip more than women. Research was done, I believe, here or in UK, but I expect it holds for Western soc. in general.
Peace,
Mark, sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is never easy.
For GoComics website: they have killed my favorite feature. I LIKED having the long A-Z listing. I could easily scroll through and pick the comics of my choice. That allows me to pick new comics and/or random comics that I don’t read every day. Looks like the new site is working for the further dumbing down of Internet users– giant pictures everywhere! Not sure why A & J aren’t listed as “slice of life” comics in the categories, either.

Maybe Janis is going through perimenopause or menopause and is starting to have “power surges?”
My belated condolences to Mark.
Well, I got up this morning in my nightie and thought we’d had a cold front come through until the air conditioner kicked on again. It was set at 64. Had forgotten I had switched it on.
Still summer here and hot.
Gardens are full of fluttering butterflies. Can’t wait until the big patio and garden outside my kitchen and office is done and it returns to bird and butterfly garden as it once was.
Butterflies are an early Christian symbol of the soul and the resurrection from the chrysalis or cocoon of death. If you have ever seen early Christian symbolism it is drawn as a cross with closed ends or two triangles, older than the fish or the cross I have read.
While eating my English muffin with orange marmalade I read about the symbolism of Episcopalian churches painting their doors red. Having attended concerts at two of Tulsa’s grandest Episcopalian churches it made me start thinking about so many of our symbols, inherited from the mother churches, Anglican and Catholic.
Early morning may not be good time to reflect, once married my late husband gave up kissing or he may never have acquired a taste for it. Nor did his replacement, temporary as he was.
But the bridge as cross my garden and the stone Creek was his last gift to me. Dying of cancer he built it, I came home to find it across my mill stream.
Here’s a bit of ingenuity:
