I haven’t shown this old favorite in a while. It’s from March, 2005. A free tee-shirt to the person who asks the question first.

Someone was lost in thought!
What French island is he dreaming of?
I am curious…”what question”? Of course “what question” is a question?
Whatever happened to Arlo’s sailboat? Did I miss that story?
Will we see Arlos sailboat again in the strip?
True story?
Jackie, is he dressed well enough for WalMart? http://cheezburger.com/8758941440/cute-horse-suit-this-racehorse-in-a-tailored-tweed-suit-is-quite-possibly-the-best-dressed-animal-in
Looks like Homer’s Odyssey, 1997 film version by Ford and Konchalovsky. Jimmy, for the tshirt, Homer’s Odyssey?
Tried to Share today’s sailing strip on Facebook and somehow I am doing something wrong. How do I do that? I want to post it on my sailing groups.
And Pachobels Canon is playing in background with crashing waves and sea sounds.
I’d take him to the club house.
OK, I’ll play.
“Why are the beach babes wearing swimsuits in Arlo’s daydream?”
Although ToysGeo has probably already asked “Whatever happened to Arlo’s sailboat?” for the win.
HAVE YOU BEEN PEEKING IN MY WINDOW?
All good questions.
Mine is “What’s up with the coloring?”
The entire dream sequence should have been in bright colors, followed by reality in gray.
I think getting minions that color the strips properly has been a problem for JJ in the past.
Jackie, I got it into the Welsford group. That was where you wanted it, right?
Jackie, using Google Chrome, I right clicked on the image, and then selected copy image. Then FB let me post it like a photo.
I hope the question is Do We Get A Sailing Teeshirt?
The next question is how did Loons GI virus get to Oklahoma with the pollen?
What question? I got distracted by the strip…I mean the the picture in the strip…er drawings.
On second thought: I don’t “get” this strip. Can you please explain?
I’ll ask, What beach is this in Arlo’s dreams? and I’ll wager an answer, I think it’s Cuba.

I think you are right on Cuba.
“Why are the beach babes wearing swimsuits in Arlo’s daydream?” Because A&J pretends to be a “family” strip. Likely some “readers” regard it as such. And it is about a family, though we’ve not seen the kids lately. Best strip anywhere. Peace,
Yep…called it at 9:37 AM.
Do I win a cut-off t-shirt for that?
The most Adult of any strip being drawn. The rest are pubescent.
I have the vocabulary of a well educated sailor.
