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

Est. 1985

Extra, Extra!

oO (Get it?)

By Jimmy Johnson


Why am I always picking on Ohio? I’ve never even been to Ohio, except for two trips to Cincinnati, and I think that barely counts as Ohio. Anyway, I ran across this Sunday A&J from 2004 and decided to show it to you today. I know, I know. We’re about as far as we can get from Columbus Day, but I was searching through old Sunday cartoons, looking for examples to make a point here, but I found this one instead. It doesn’t make my point at all, but I like it. I swear! I’m drinking the same coffee this morning that I always drink.

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    The Ghost abides. Even if he did eat the “fish”. Fortunately, Jackie did not.

    Ghost says “Steals, sun dresses, rompers, shorts, halter tops, doing our part to keep Eufaula beautiful. “

    Jackie, for the clothes to help them be beautiful, the wearer must make some effort too. But with your taste, the clothes are bound to help.

    Oh, and that second picture is not static. Since it’s a Google map you can click around and see more angles, even follow the streets around Eufaula.

    Not that we feel poorly or anything, but heard around the house: “If we hurry, baby, we can be in bed before official sunset.”

    Composer’s Datebook for Sunday, February 4, 2018 is neat.

    Similarly, I once played the first 2 movements of Mozart’s “Eine musickalischer spass” [sp.?] to a BSU class. The girl sitting by my daughter whispered “I just love Mozart” and remained in rapture while the chamber orch. oompahed along. Lovely,

    Ghost,
    Are you referring to ‘Civil,’ ‘Nautical,’ or ‘Astronomical’ twilight?
