A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

Look but Don’t Touch

By Jimmy Johnson

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
I’m not sure if this classic A&J from 1997 has run here before or not, but if it has it was a long time ago. (Where do you get the strange notion I should know these things?) I received word yesterday that the test batch of Arlo & Janis tee shirts has been printed. I haven’t seen them yet, but I will tomorrow. We’ll be tweaking the design as needed, and before you can say “I want one,” the final product will be in production. More on this soon.

    Listened to that for first time since I was about 14 I suspect. And what is it you do that involves so much travel and girl squeezing?

    Of course a tee shirt to fight scurvy would be lime green. There is a reason they are called limeys of course, not gin and tonics.

    Good morning Villagers….

    TR, thank you for the update on Blondie. When younger, the Sunday comics were always my favorite when Dad brought the paper home from work.

    Old Bear, good doctors there, but the sun and I don’t get along unless I use a sunscreen. But I love the sunshine, that’s why winters are so depressing. Read somewhere that two thirds of antidepressants prescribed were not necessary. Hmmm….me thinks there’s some kickbacks there. Personally, I don’t take them….I work.

    Jerry, with three inside cats and one outside cat who comes in when she feels like it, it’s hard to divide my lap. Like last night, I had big boy Buddee on one side and Snowee on the other, and Hampton on the top of the recliner…surrounded by cats, I was.

    Jackie, I was in $ General last night…oh, it’s so tempting to go off my budget, but I stuck to my list….except for the cinnamon rolls, couldn’t help myself. Had one and a glass of vanilla almond milk before I hit the pillows at 9ish last night.

    The service man for the heater best be showing up today, or The Boss will experience one hissy fit from me…..now we have the rain coming in…..

    gotta go

    ya’ll have a blessed Tuesday….

    Speaking of learning things frequently not found in school –

    I have a couple of offbeat but still family-friendly sites that I enjoy a great deal:

    damninteresting.com and failuremag.com.

    I omitted the www in the hopes that my post will not go in moderation limbo.

    By the way, this ergonomic keyboard is 20 years old, and it is finally beginning to wear out. I wanted to use parentheses around “but still family-friendly,” but the number row has stopped working, along with the left Ctrl and Alt keys. The other evening, I lost “g” and “h,” but they came back after restarting the machine. Time for a new keyboard.

    OK, funny story from work yesterday morn….I got there first. When Mikey showed up, he stated he was so excited it was Monday that he got there two hours early. I told him when I got there, I never saw his truck….I told him he must have had his ‘cloaking device’ on. πŸ™‚ He then said, can’t get one by you, can I? Guess you had to be there πŸ™‚
