I gave the original of the above comic strip to a neighbor when I was living on the Gulf Coast. It was lost in the deluge of 2005, along with the entire contents of her house. At least the house survived. The “painting” in the last panel is sort of a mash-up of the styles of Peter Paul Rubens, who obviously was partial to what Jane Russell called “full-figured gals,” and Edgar Degas, who became absolutely fascinated with the subject of women bathing. I would post some links, but none of us have time for that, do we?

Jimmy, I am sure you’re getting sick of people asking about it, but could you please update your Kickstarter page at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/parsonage/work-with-arlo-and-janis/comments ? Since you have time to update the blog, perhaps you can also spare 5 minutes to at least tell people what is going on? Thanks.

Debbe, here’s one for you, if it will work: https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/58994419_2688943427801733_7620465387011833856_n.jpg?_nc_cat=1&_nc_oc=AQkDtaS-zf7OJpjZRq67eC-M1RwAJQtoUBTAfXHuWkrsfV5UKElE4dsZiPG3EvzvNNABevL_FclqkxJhTWykmMpA&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&oh=d5632dfc7000908c72b6d483d2a9111b&oe=5D2DB06A

My assignment at the boutique today: Hang and sort 12-inch miniskirts, short-shorts, and (very) skimpy tank tops. Tough work, but someone has to do it.
Next up: Bootie shorts!
So, Ghost, are you stocking what will sell or what you hope to see about town?
I hope that’s one and the same!
I sold a very nice-looking young lady a pair of tiny little red-and-white striped shorts yesterday. I would only hope I see her wearing them around town. 🙂
1 white pelican, buncha cormorants, and 1 bald iggle.

Re 5-5-19 cartoon: That’s some fine cartoon artwork right there.
Also, I wonder who among us today, or their writings, will be remembered a thousand years from now.

Good ones, Debbe!
Hi, Villagers. I thought I’d check in and tell you that I’m off to an appropriate place for many in this crowd: A Broadway in Tucson show, which happens, tonight, to be–ta da–“Cats.”
Doing laundry, then off to see Avengers: Endgame at local theater which has Imax and 3d. Having done that, I can say I had a good time and enjoyed the movie. Weather was great today here in Tulsa, sunny and 70’s.
Debbe, bootie shorts (or booty shorts) are like short-shorts, but cut higher in the rear, so as to expose a couple or so inches of the lower, well, ah, booty to any interested spectators. What we sell are more like faux-booty shorts, I suppose, as no actual, well, ah, lower booty is exposed.
Nancy, good to hear you are out and about and doing something fun.
From the Department of You Don’t See That Every Day: At our favorite neighborhood steak house last night, we met a lady accompanied by her emotional-support lemur.
