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

Extra, Extra!

RIP, Rufus Thomas

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
Here’s an old Gene-centric cartoon from 1998. I’m traveling today on cartoon business (Yes, there is such a thing!), but I’ll be back here as soon as I can. If you’re in Tishomingo County and you see a beat-up bright blue Ford pickup truck, wave!

    emb: If you access the TIP site through Google, you can right click on the image and get a dropdown box that includes “Search Google for this image”. Left clicking on that will usually yield a name for the painting and links to other sites with images of the painting.

    My bride would eat the burnt roast and I the other. She does like “shoe leather”,
    me not so much.

    I have known “twig” forever, maybe it is a NE Yankeeism.
    Like “trig” means put a block in front of (and behind) a wheel.

    One other thing is that an online business administration study course is designed for students to be able to effortlessly proceed to bachelors degree education. The Ninety credit college degree meets the lower bachelor education requirements and once you earn your current associate of arts in BA online, you’ll have access to the modern technologies with this field. Several reasons why students need to get their associate degree in business is because they may be interested in the field and want to find the general education and learning necessary prior to jumping right into a bachelor education program. Thx for the tips you provide in the blog.

    I do believe all the ideas you’ve offered for your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
