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

Est. 1985

Extra, Extra!

Rubenesque

By Jimmy Johnson

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?

    Just after I stopped at the Baltimore site, one parent took off then the other. Am guessing someone w/b feeding the two nestlings soon. 3rd egg seems not likely to hatch, 4th disappeared days ago. Peace,

    Jackie, I’m just reading Sports Illustrated, and I have an article on competitive meat judging, focused on the Big 12, specifically Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Texas A&M. Didn’t you do that at A&M back in the day? I’ll see if I can get a link.
