Picture Imperfect

by Jimmy Johnson


It was 10 years ago this week that this WordPress blog premiered. I can’t believe it. And in those 10 years, nothing has changed! Same colors. Same artwork. Same format. It vividly was brought home to me how overdue we are for a bit of a shake-up around here. If you’re comfortable here and this kind of talk makes you nervous, I wouldn’t get very upset. That first blog entry 10 years ago rambled on and on about all the improvements I’d be making to the new Web site. Sheesh.

    That’s a good one and I didn’t see the punch line coming.

    Looks like Janis was wearing a wool watch cap today. Gives you a good dose of static and that flyaway hair. Run, Ludwig, don’t let her touch you. Zap!

    Janis’s comment in today’s last panel helps explain a lot of typical human behavior.

    The look on Calvin’s mother’s face [below] is insightful, too. For those who are not fans, the guy departing is Calvin’s bachelor uncle.

    Jimmy has been window peeking. All four frames depicts our current lives. A fifth frame would have Janis scolding Arlo for letting her be seen with her hair mussed up.

    Ready for another atrocious pun?

    Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him …(Oh, man, this is so bad, it’s good)… A super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
