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?

    Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.

    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
