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.

For me, there are three categories of kisses:
1. Family
2. Friendly
3. Foreplay
Beware…Category Three Ghost kisses have been known to ensorcell women.
Good word, GR! “ensorcell” is not commonly found.
Agree with your kiss analysis.
Been waiting for my prince to wake me with a kiss.
Mostly they are frogs. Under category 1 and 2 I will hug and kiss most people.
CATEGORY 3 I have never met yet.
One abhorrent feature of the GoComics beta is that if your list of comics or editorial cartoons includes some that weren’t updated that day, they gratuitously swap in something else. I have separate pages for comics and editorial cartoons, and find it especially disconcerting to have random comics stuck into the stream of editorial cartoons. Bad enough to see random comics that I have chosen NOT to see. Go take a look and send them your comments!
Mr. Ghost here is newest Spyderco knife.
this will by my Christmas knife to myself –
SpydieChef is an extremely refined folding knife that takes the user-friendly ergonomics and balance of a world-class chef’s knife and translates them into an all-purpose, everyday-carry folder that is impervious to the elements. A proud member of Spyderco’s Salt Series of ultra-corrosion-resistant knives.
not yet available but just a few weeks will out of factory QC!
Oops, no photo. Woll see if can copy.
About Go comics, except for Arlo and Janis I just gave up.
I wait for Jimmy’s link on his blog page and go from there. Even though I have the app on my phone on front page I just don’t bother.
Not many comics I enjoy much any more.
Hear ya go, Jackie.

A folding 1/3-scale version of one of my chef knives, in case I need to whip up a batch of Beef Bourguignon on the fly.
So the “change honcho” at GoComics.com says “… I think you’re going dig what we’ve done with this glorious love-letter to comic art and storytelling we call GoComics.”
I was not aware that “glorious love-letter to comic art and storytelling” was another way to say “commercial money-making operation”. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course; I just always prefer people to call a spade a spade.
Only in Texas.

Using the “wet sidewalks cause rain” hypothesis, I’m going to say that smart phones cause intoxicated young women to bare their boobs.
Boise Ed, I agree with you on that feature… It’s one that we customers should be able to control along with our choices for the daily presentation.
An already tragic story that is unlikely to have anything but a more tragic ending…the missing young lady is the daughter of the pianist for The Piano Guys. Some of us here, Ghost included, have linked to some of their video performances.

A couple of the Piano Guys things are fairly regular on my Pandora. Lovely writing by Annie’s mother.
Just let me know, Ghost. Maybe we can let Jackie know too.
‘another way to say “commercial money-making operation”. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course; I just always prefer people to call a spade a spade.’
Careful now! Writer of the above is obviously opposed to marketing, a popular major in the Business Admin. depts of numerous state, private, church-related, and even for-profit colleges. Obviously an opponent of the bread-and-butter techniques of the free-market capitalist system. Bears watching; should be on the FBI’s list of persons of interest.
Peace,

East of Little Rock heading for Tupelo for night. Enjoying delicious low calorie Flatbread sandwich at my favorite gourmet truck stop. Ask me about my $1,009 alternator for the Honda I decided not to trade in but keep six weeks ago when I installed the $1,000 timing belt and did the body dings and repainted instead of trading.
Capitalism?
Facebook Live. The answer to a question no one asked.
Probably just a matter of time until people start routinely live-streaming their bowel movements.

Somewhere I am sure someone has.

Why is it people set their AC at 65* in summer
and heat at 80* in winter?
I do just opposite it is not such a drastic change when you do have to go outside.
(I can’t get away with less than 65*) Plus it saves energy = $$$
Nothing is too crass for a drunk.
Old Bear, I believe part of that problem lies with the distribution of heated and cooled air in a home. Having temperature measured at just one point leads to air below it being too cold in the winter and air above it being too hot in the summer.
People need ceiling fans to better mix the air… or to have two duct systems so cold air comes out at the ceiling and warm air comes out nearer the floor.
My in-laws’ home was built when electricity was cheap in eastern Idaho, with heated panels in the floors and, in that high desert climate, no real need for AC downstairs. I was never cold there with the thermostat set at 65F.
My turn, I guess.
I just heard that a close friend (of whom I wrote here a few weeks ago) has died. We met only in HS and never even had a 1:1 conversation. Then, 2 years ago, after 15+ years of computer searching [57 years of no contact at all], I found her and we traded bios, thoughts, and the like. It became obvious that my casual assessment back in HS – from a distance – had been correct. She was a “class act” in every good sense as well as brilliant. I’m thankful for the 2 years of communication we did have, and I trust she enjoyed them too.
She had been diagnosed with glioblastoma at the end of July, and her seizures therefrom plus a stroke elsewhere in her brain did not permit her to live more than 85 or 90 days. R.I.P., AKH.
(It was a bit more than a year ago when I lost a semi-cousin to the same disease, only 9 weeks after it turned up in him.)
2016, the year that just keeps on taking.
Sorry for your loss, exp. In friendship, as in most things, it’s not the quantity that counts but the quality.
