Subtle Distinction

By Jimmy Johnson


Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
Sorry to have been gone so long! I have been working on other projects. I guess there’s just no way to avoid the “remember when” factor on this site, try as I might. Today’s classic A&J is yet another example of swift cultural change. First, “casual Friday” was introduced, when white-collar workers were allowed to dress down from coats and ties and the equivalent ladies’ apparel. Today there are coats and ties still out there, but the daily norm for what remains of the white-collar work force is distinctly casual. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. Hey, I’m a cartoonist! I can work in my underwear if I want, although I never do. Well, not in just my underwear. You know, I get asked that question a lot, which I think is kind of weird.

    Howdy this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding
    expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    Hey! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
    Does building a well-established blog such
    as yours require a lot of work? I’m completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary every day.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and
    views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new
    aspiring bloggers. Thankyou! scoliosis surgery https://coub.com/stories/962966-scoliosis-surgery scoliosis surgery
