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!

Trucker, unfortunately for Debbie, many states, including hers, exempt the employers of “agricultural workers” from the requirement of providing workers’ comp coverage. I believe that came up previously, when Debbe’s hand/wrist and a door had a conflict, and the door won.
Test, having browser issues
Just ordered four “T”‘s. one of which the wife wants to use as a sleep shirt. I guess I’ll see A & J in my sleep.
Anon, I use eBay, just not paypal. I have no desire to let eBay have knowledge of any credit card accounts I may have!
We have two of me, an Evil Twin or the Good One? Stay tuned to As The Village Posts for further developments in plot twists.
Ghost I consider metal coat hangers spawn of the devil, just like in Mommy Dearest. Surely that scene is on youtube? Have discovered velvet coated hangers that keeps things from slipping and replaced closets with those. My Dollar Generals and Walmart couldn’t figure out who was taking all the inventory.
Weight still going down slowly so I don’t look like saggy baggy elephant or beef jerky. Blood sugars staying pretty constant with little or no insulin, maybe a clean artery will improve situation.
See guys, we assumed the worst about Jerry and he was off at the races. Let’s not obsess, most of us are too old for that!
Yes, Jackie, good arteries are good things to have, especially the carotids and the coronaries. I’ve seen and considered the velvety clothes hangers, but they somehow seemed a bit kinky…even for me.
An A&J tee shirt as feminine sleepwear? Perhaps I should order one to keep on hand for any unscheduled sleep-over guests. Pink, size Small, with the cat on it? Yeah, that’s the ticket. 😉
I wouldn’t think a small would fit any of your female friends Ghost. I have never filed in smalls even at 120 pounds. Or 110 either.
If they plan to actually wear it and not just look at it perhaps a large or xlg for sleeping so it isn’t claustrophobically confining or binding.?
Fitted, not filed Hal. Hal is the name of my phone from 2001 Space Odyssey obviously. Went back and reread part of script to refresh my mind this week on Hals demise.

Saw a picture the other day (not the Other Day) (“I say! that is a PUN son”)
a pile of fat was twice as big as a pile of muscle. So if you are exercising while
loosing fat, weight will stay the same. You will just be smaller and healthier.
Buncha bison, mostly cows I think, maybe some young, lying around.

By Thur., we had 2-3″ snow on the ground, but daytime temps in mid 30s F have pretty much melted it off. Patches here and there, + some on sun-free N slopes. Filled the Prius today, windy, 35 or so. No fun, but it will be worse come Jan/Feb.
Peace, emb
One of the shirts I bought was Luddie in pink and large – for sleeping.
Trapper Jean – I saw a time limit on the Tshirt site that makes me think that the shirts may no longer be available after Jan 3, 2016. Just saying.
Old Bear – looking forward to learning about your eyeglass gadget, as I have trouble keeping up with my readers. I suspect it may turn out to be a case of me looking for BOTH the gadget and my readers, but may be worth a try. I’m a positive outlook kinda person.
Old Bear that is true. I am smaller and wearing smaller clothes than I used to at a lower weight. And when I tell people my goal weight they say, well you must be close to that already. I am not but boy does that sound good to hear.
When I was a teenager I had been on a diet. My cousin said Jackquline Ann, you haven’t lost weight, you have just compressed the fat. Little did he know that is true
Just walked 10 miles. I am planning to walk a Marathon in West Lafayette April 4th. Legs felt a “good” tired. Strange day as the fog did not burn off until 3:00 PM. Got some great shots while I walked. The replaced hip is fine. I wore a back brace as it helps while I walk.
I was thinking the “Small” tee shirt more for the aesthetic effect than for comfort. 😉 Speaking of “aesthetic effects”, college band majorettes are hotter and more skimpily attired than ever, yet the networks don’t show the halftime band performances now. And they wonder why all the guys just go get adult beverages (and/or dispose of previously consumed adult beverages) during the break.
J in C, I haven’t even looked at ebay’s site for many years, and the last time I did so, everything was single items that were up for bid, not an unlimited number items available like from Amazon. I suspect the 30-day limit only applies to auction items. Or will be extended or something.
Judy in Conroe and AsoldAsJJ, maybe this is what Old Bear is talking about: http://www.amazon.com/ReadeREST-Original-Stainless-Steel-Twin/dp/B00AWKL3OK

Whose aesthetics? I bought REAL pajamas for my hospital stay and recuperation but with tank tops to make it easier to get over my head. I personally wouldn’t bother but hospitals and caretakers do care. So, I comply.
I figure while I am benefiting from care givers I may as well get it all done and be done with it. Funny thing is my dentist didn’t want to install my new caps on bottom, he said they were at risk for damage from anesthesia administration. So afterwards.
I got one XL so far, which I know will fit OK, depending how it feels, I’ll get more but possibly just L. .. Debbe – oh yeah, it’s a tax, that’s why I call it robertscare now. My ladyfriend is a dietician at a hospital and says everything is changing now, even required courses for various medical degrees and certifications, like you don’t need to know about nutrition anymore to be an RN. …. …. She had been a teacher (biology, nutrition, etc) and wants to get back to it, she’s investigated many openings in the area. She lives a little north of Galveston and loves it. We went to Dickens on the Strand today. I said, it’d be great if you could get on at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and she said, and I quote “yeah, WE could live in Galveston” OK, we’ve been out several times, enjoy each other, I have friends who are girls tell me be sure not to move to fast, but I don’t care if she does, OK, let’s wrap this thing up.
Steve, shots? Are you preparing for a marathon or a biathlon?
Yes, John, move fast…in whichever direction you think best. Villagers of the female persuasion may not agree with me, but I think she’s ready, whether you are or not.
sand, I take it that Santa made an early delivery and you already have your new Volkspistole. Hope you like it as much as you thought you would.
Oddly, he swung by here yesterday as well, and I’m the proud owner of a new SIG Sauer P320 in 9mm. Took it to the range today for 200 break-in rounds. Love it.
For any concerned parties, Santa has an FFL (firearms license) and does instant background checks. There is no “North Pole loophole”. 🙂
GR6, certain it is love. Have sent numerous rounds down range with the P226. The VP9 and I are still developing a relationship.
I put this silly thing up just about every year. (Maybe some day I will tell you the logistical routine I used to have to go through to put it up and take it down when I lived in my apartment.) No one besides Blacklight and I have seen it person for years. Not sure why I bother actually. Roughly eight feet tall and about four and a half feet wide at the base. The four footer will go up later.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Lady Mindy, from your description of events and history, I believe that is what is called “tradition”.
The thing I’m trying to revive to some degree this year.
