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

Est. 1985

Extra, Extra!

Shell Shop

By Jimmy Johnson



I wouldn’t draw this strip today. Although it appeared in 2011, only five years ago, we all are so accustomed to targeted online advertising that it would seem pointless now. Speaking of vacations, I suppose you’ve noticed I haven’t posted since Monday. I’ve been on a little trip of my own. I’m sorry for the disruption. Normal disruptions will resume next week.

    I had my annual physical yesterday, and the doctor gave me the results of my blood tests.

    Along with everything now being in the normal range, it seems that I have beaten Type Two diabetes.

    81 mg. aspirin a day. Otherwise, no medications.

    Of course, I still have to follow my diet and exercise regimen but, overall, pretty good news, I think, especially for a man who will be 63 in May.

    Blood pressure and heart rate are excellent.

    Yep, jogging and healthy food rule.

    And now that longer days are returning, I think that I will finally be able to go down to 170 pounds.

    We learned about this in grade school, but I don’t know how widely taught this was elsewhere. His crew did, in fact, mutiny, and set him + son and 2-3 loyal crew members adrift in the far north, most likely in Hudson’s Bay.

    Rick I am so proud of you for that achievement. I am still on insulin, low dose but I am also not as good as I should be about my diet and exercise. I could do better. You seem to be in complete compliance.

    Got hold of my dentist. They are going to put in permanent caps now, Plavix is low dose so skipping the get off blood thinner part.
    On way asap but so are storms.
