Obviously, summer hours have gone into effect here. However, the door is open, and the lights are one. Help yourself to whatever’s in the fridge. You long-time visitors take care of the newcomers. By the way, today’s classic strip is from way back in 1993 and probably was born from the frustrations of being a humorist, especially an oblique one.

Maybe Gene will grow up to be a mammalogist or primatologist. ‘Course, he’d have to go back to college. Peace,
Saw a Gorilla dancing to Maniac on a recent Video. It was awesome.
I might say I never metahumor I didn’t like, but that would not be actually true.
Seriously people! The Village had gotten so damn serious I have attended funerals that were far more fun.
Seriously, that is totally true my Best friend in neighborhood,’s eulogy. “Don’t cry for Norma here, the nuts already gone, this is just the shell in the coffin.”
“It’s not that I’m afraid to die,
I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”

It’s covered wagons, all the way down.
Part of the fun, for me, in Debbe’s well told joke is the absurd. Put absurdity in and you’re half way there. Like a ball player named Idontknow [Third Base!], it’s the out of place that’s funny. You gotta be sleeping pretty sound to not roll out of the way for a noisy wagon doing its best at 4mph. [did the math]
Closing scene of, again, A Fish Called Wanda involved a steamroller. Recently, Deadpool did it with a Zamboni. But those outcomes were played for macabre. Debbe’s was much lighter.
The lights are one? Mr. Johnson, as Goethe advised, get more lights!
Thank you for leaving the door open, Jimmy! (By the way, did anyone else think “Only 1993…wait..that’s 24 years ago…”)
Jackie, first we serioused, then we sillied!
A number’s bunny: 😉
Ghost misses the old Village where levity and fun and music prevailed.
He is being held captive as a farm worker by two Okie women who refuse to let him return to his home in Mississippi.
Ghost says we need more music. Here’s one for Ghost.
You Make Loving Fun https://g.co/kgs/TF6Qty
More music! https://www.youtube.com/user/meanmary80
Levity? What is this levity that thou speakest of? Or where is this levity thou speakest of? I do believe that the last covered wagon pulled by mules went down the Oregon trail in 2009.
ursen, Debbe wrote out a good one back here http://arloandjanis.com/girlz-ii-women-ii#comment-67427 Later, Jackie set up an opportunity I used to call-back the joke. Then I referenced it again today.
Taking you at your word. If I am not filtering properly, and sarcasm is intended, please ignore my ignorance. Otherwise enjoy, it is funny.
Wow.
Take just one day off from the computer, and everything changes. New oldie, new posts.
I didn’t have the chance yesterday to tell Jimmy that the nose mask was one of his best strips ever.
Dickens had to have surgery with anesthesia yesterday. We could not feed him for over 24 hours. He was so scared and so pathetic, especially because Ghost and I have had to take him in so much. He had these huge puppy eyes looking at you.
Today we took him to Tulsa with us and took him to lunch out on patio at P.F. Chang’s where he got to eat majority of the order of honey chicken. I will post photo of Ghost and he eating Chinese food. If I can link it.
Can’t figure out how to share it.
Remember on Mash when Father Mulcahey would exclaim “Jocularity!! Jocularity!!”
Always liked that expression and the dead pan way he delivered it.
And it happens again at Yellowstone:

They probably thought they were safe because they were on the boardwalk. 🙁
The webcam at Old Faithful is out of service. Here’s one of the last things it filmed:

More music. Raol Malo is my favorite right now, lead singer for the Maverick. Ghost likes him as well. Trying to figure out how to make one of their concerts. They appeared here last month in a music festival but my knee wasn’t recovered enough to handle an outdoor festival on uneven rough grounds.

Watch the Yellowstone article. Won’t show and a lot of spam and bad ads came up.
Sorry, I assumed that local paper would have a decent website… and I do have an ad blocker running on my Mac.
Here’s a better site for the story, perhaps?
