Half Baked

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
When this cartoon originally appeared in 2009, my long-suffering editor Reed Jackson called to thank me for reflecting what goes on in his home when his wife bakes for the holidays. This made me feel good. Comics editors see a lot of comics, and they rarely have time or inclination to comment.

By the way, the T shirts are on sale now. I told you there would not be much fanfare. I also said I would return yesterday and discuss price. I’m sorry, but I was so busy making this thing happen that I didn’t have time to do that. The short-sleeve T shirts are $30, and the long-sleeve are $35. Yes, that’s a little pricey, I know. The software at eBay will tell you shipping is free, but it’s not. It’s simply factored in already, but it’s true there are no additional fees for shipping and handling. They’re just T shirts, but others and I have put a lot of effort into producing the best T shirt we can. Our T shirt is about as local as T shirts can be. Several colleagues have a hand in its production, and it’s labor intensive. I’ve already told you it takes nine manual passes of an ink squeegee to produce the sports-car shirt. I’m not going to tell you they’re a bargain; I just hope, if you buy one, you won’t be disappointed. To shop, just click on the subtle little banner at the top of this page. Thank you!

    Ordered a Luddie for my honey and a Cobra for me; short-sleeve versions, of course.

    M3? That’s an M3? I thought they’d been tasked with an emergency mission to caulk some windows.

    Rotorcycle, huh? And they actually got as far as a prototype. You know, those things could have revolutionized the way troops won Purple Hearts.

    Forgot I was going to mention that a friend had shared with me the way to strengthen weak stems on forced bulbs, with vodka or gin. My mind instantly flashed toundies in yesterday’s real time strip.

    Was Janis pouring gin or vodka into her tree holder?

    Debbe 😉 I never knew a girl named Angie, but I kind of wish I had.

    This phone has a sick sense of humor. Hal stop that!

    Flashed to today’s real time strip of Ludwig drinking from the tree holder.

    NOT to undies which Hal put in. His mind works like Ghosts.

    Good morning Villagers…..

    Watched the History Channel 2 last night…they did an hour by hour account after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and also focused on Roosevelt. I wished I had recorded it. I recommend if they rerun it, one should watch it….

    ….and the ‘purge’ begins in 30 minutes, not looking forward to going in, but I still have to pull eggs in off the belts. At least they are starting at the back, when they get to the front, I’m going to the other hen house….it’s not a pretty site to see. Some 75,000 hens being gassed and they are not gentle about it either.

    Old Bear, thanks, will pick up Tacky Glue…Andrew and I usually run into True Value every Friday and spend The Boss’s money 🙂

    Jerry, you were just a couple of hours away from me. I’m going to post a link for you, from BCN’s comments, Georgia posted Elvis’s first Christmas tree.

    Still no news from CPA regarding IRS on the ACA….arrrggghhh, I guess no news is good news?

    Ya’ll have a blessed day…..we have freezing fog right now.

    Thanks Debbe. Please help me find the artist’s comments and the video that you mentioned. Our first three have pretty much always known that the tree was off limits. That remains to be seen with Tippy. I’m not sure if the concepts of “off limits” or “don’t make daddy mad” have been fixed in his brain yet. On the other hand, Cilla has taught him that daddy will give him whatever he wants. It’s all in how you ask.

    Thank you Jimmy for reminding us of the rich heritage that exists in many Christmas decorations.

    Ghost, it’s not just the state of California affected by the new egg-production law they passed. It also forces all other egg companies to follow the same guidelines in order to sell eggs in California. So again I say, it’s time for the rest of the states to pass laws regulating sale of California-produced items. Chipotle restaurant chain is still having E. Coli outbreaks due to celery from California sources. There have been other food-borne disease issues due to produce from California so we should be protecting our citizens from them.
