Ready for some stuff?

By Jimmy Johnson


Today’s “old” A&J strip is from 2014, and speaking of stuff: I wish I could be more authoritative, but I think those of you who pledged during the fund-raising campaign and selected a reward will be receiving a “survey” from Kickstarter. That’s what they call it, a survey, and it only goes out once, so fill it out carefully. It should tell me what reward you selected and where to send it. In the case of shirts, it will be your opportunity to specify size and color. You will notice that I built in some wiggle room for myself. Most rewards are promised to be delivered by the end of October. Hopefully, most will arrive well before then. The book, however, will not be out until November. That’s pretty certain! I will address this process further when I, myself, am more familiar with exactly how it is going to work. Remember, though, you can always email me with any concerns you might have. Those of you who donated outside Kickstarter, I have an email record of your requests and will be in touch. Bear with me. This could be something of an adventure. I guarantee, though, that everyone will get their reward before we’re done.

    That is beautiful. Is that supposed to be Elsa Lancaster in the sewn together nude? I have never seen horror movies I must confess although I like Adams Family.

    From the caption, I think it is a formal portrait of her done for the director of the movie, not in the film makeup.

    This is her in the film makeup. Never saw a color photo of that before. Thanks Google.

    Betty Boop started out as a dog – eventually her ears got smaller and her loop earrings
    got larger. Pre Hays Office days she was sometime risque.

    Your rod conveyor may benefit from Plasti Dip coating (I have no interest other than we used it on nest bottoms) It is a rubberized coating.

    True value sku# 184407 White spray on
    127070 Yellow dip or brush on

    Don’t know if it would work – may be too long dry time.
    When you are in town read the can.

    If the woman is always right,
    and the man is always wrong.
    Then, if a man tells a woman that she is right.
    .
    .
    Is the man right or wrong?

    Jackie / enthusiasm about patriotism.

    “patriotism”: I was cruising at the speed limit in my hybrid on the way to Mpls yesterday and a big pickup passed me at some 10 mph and was soon out of sight. It had an American flag painted on its tailgate. Its mpg: Lord knows.

    patriotism: Some Bemidji people pick up aluminum cans when they are out and about, add their own empty sardine cans, fill used plastic bags with them, and, when traveling SE on US 2, drop them off at the animal shelter, which in turns sells them for recycling, using the money to support the shelter.

    I did not say patriotic displays are unpatriotic, but James 2:18.

    Peace,
