The Map All Over

By Jimmy Johnson




Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
I’m throwing in the final four map cartoons from 2000, because I think the seamless conversation within is interesting. It’s like a comic book page. The astute might recognize the joke in the second strip as one I used again just last week, in a different context. I don’t do such things deliberately, but after 30 years, it happens. Speaking of that, it is hard to believe I drew the above 15 years ago.

    Today’s strip reveals what we have always suspected, Arlo spends little time on the internet.

    Or, though he spends time on the Internet, he doesn’t look at naughty pictures… it is possible I’ve heard.

    David, maybe you could interest some of the Austin crowd in to developing a “porn blocker” app. Not certain how you could monitize it.

    I wholeheartedly agree with this one:

    Anyone else remember how the Legally Blonde character figured out the pool boy was lying?

    Thanks Mark! I will out my papers tomorrow. Hopefully work goes well enough I can get home at a decent hour.

    Had the day off, and got my first text of the day at 5:30a. Sigh. And since either texts or phone calls kept coming roughly every half hour, I gave up on sleeping in by 9a. (Maybe I should have warned them about the plumbers coming with a jackhammer this morning?) Anyhow, did some shopping – Harbor Frieght is having a huge sale. It was tough passing up on some new power tools. Came home and started cleaning and rearranging the front porch. Took a part the screen door and cleaned it thoroughly – something its needed since day one. Keeping Blacklight inside was laughably easy. I simply put the screen from the door horizontally across the threshold, and put the mail basket in front of it to keep it upright. She could have jumped it with no problem, but she never looked up.

    Tonight’s play date with the adorable neighbor urchins included playing in leaf piles, frisbee, and working on bike riding skills. I haven’t chased a munchkin with training wheels in almost twenty-five years. I am goung ti have to invest in quality mittens and coat this year. I forsee snowball fights in my future. 🙂

    sandcastler,

    For businesses, it’s pretty effective to build it into the firewalls/proxy servers. I used a few different versions at the companies I did IT for before I was medically disabled. I’m sure there are newer, better, faster systems know than there was when I was in technology.

    At home, it’s called self-discipline or parental supervision…
