The Run of Things

By Jimmy Johnson



OK, here is the last of the running sequence from 2010. This is really getting crazy: it seems I drew this yesterday, and you’re telling me it was seven years ago!? I figure I have drawn over 11,500 A&J strips since I began. It’s strictly an educated guess, but I would say I am proud of 10% of them, embarrassed by 20% and ambivalent about the remaining 70%.

    I hope that indoor drive in movie theater allows you to experience a fake night sky with a properly early sunset so the showtimes aren’t ridiculously late during DST. I believe that’s why most theaters went out of business… not enough time for a double-header.

    Well I looked at a little after 7 and I was still in the drive in rocking the car and fogging the windows so I went back to sleep.

    Good morning all. I had a GREAT birthday and still hearing from friends. The best birthday of my life.

    My help is coming to clean up and I am going to Tulsa via a new $200 tire on Honda. That was not normal road wear. Then recall work in Tulsa at Honda.Honda .

    The neighbors will get invited to next year’s party. I wish you all had been here.
