I think the characters Arlo and Janis are very real to people. If they weren’t, I wouldn’t be here still. But as Ludwig the cat acts like a real cat but not exactly, Arlo and Janis act like real people, but not exactly. This is because they are cartoon characters, of course! Their thoughts and actions would, in reality, be histrionic or just plain ridiculous, but ideally we don’t really notice, because, at the same time, we recognize and identify with what’s going on. This is illustrated in the above classic from 2002. I know. I’m stating the obvious. My only defense is, It’s Friday. And as promised, the art sale is over.

Best way to do around doors is cut trim up the thickness of the floor.
There are saws to do it, or lay a hacksaw blade on a scrap piece of flooring.
There are still some fussy cuts but not as many.
There was a landing at the base of the stairs that was made of pergo. Since it doesn’t match, I need to replace it. Son I kept it and will use it as a pattern.
Happy Anniversary to Arlo and Janis. Over on the Arlo and Janis fan site on FB, Chris Dunford posted the first strip which appeared on this date.
I think that I have the new site figured out now. Thanks for the help guys.
Jerry!!!! Good to see you, man!
