Royal Pain

by Jimmy Johnson


I gather from what has managed to seep into my news feed, somebody has gotten engaged to somebody over there. Again. I thought it might be a good time to repeat this old comic from 1996. This would have appeared the year before Diana’s death, and, if I may say, had more people adopted Arlo’s attitude, Princess Di probably would be alive today. But did we learn anything from this? Of course not.

    You’re not green, Jackie. And I wouldn’t want you to waste the test. Better you wait till you can get good information from it.

    According to the Old Farmers Almanac, all living humans are no further removed than 50th cousin. I’ve always been fascinated by other people’s fascination with other countries royalty, since it means absolutely nothing to me

    I knew many WWII vets that would have nothing to do with Red Cross.

    Many years ago I heard we are all related by only 23 generations.
    But then are we not all related to Noah?
