Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide

By Jimmy Johnson

I had intended to show you the next comic in the sequence about Arlo’s employee review, but I am away from my desk this morning and don’t have access to that file. I’ve just got to get on that cloud thing one of these days. I do have this oldie from 2012, which I think is cute. It is, I believe, a defensible use of a rather old cliché. It’s one of those you might have to think about just a moment. Maybe I do too many of those.

    Janis is a little bit of both…. and Arlo loves it.

    Good intent, bad intent – same result.

    Keep making us think, JJ. Such helps to keep the brain in proper operation

    Yes, this is wonderfully ambiguous. You give Janis mystery and complexity and that makes her attractive.

    Jimmy, many of us live for thinking about something for a moment—or more. And, really, you mix it up like Percy Crosby or Johnny Hart did: some more immediate, some less so. You have an enjoyable balance. Why? You care. You worry a liitle. My students who never worry much never seem to do as well as those who do worry.
