A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

Extra, Extra!

Triage

By Jimmy Johnson

I noticed yesterday that I haven’t missed a daily post this year, except for the scheduled maintenance down time last Friday and Saturday. Here’s a Monday post to keep the string alive.


Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Works the opposite way for me, when she breaths too loud I wake up. Groan.

    Those middle-of-the night cramps are the worst!

      I’m at the age where my choice is between drinking enough fluids to avoid the let cramps and having too many bathroom trips. I usually manage to straighten out the cramping muscle enough to lessen the pain without standing. And walking. And going.

        You might need to increase your potassium intake. It worked for me.

    Having Restless Leg Syndrome used to wake my wife up until I got medicated. Sometimes I still feel like a jerk.

    The mermaid and the genie [now a merman] have swum off into the moonlight. Turns out Brooke does not favor subtle segues.

    Peace,
    P.S. No readers have responded to my careful omission of personal pronouns in my 11 Jan. Threescore and Ten in the Bemidji Pioneer. It’s in their court.

    Just FYI, the page proportions are looking great today. It’s also good to see lots of posts. If they come every day (or so) I have no need for a separate program to monitor the page and flash my lights when it’s updated. That’s good.

    Since you’re getting to be a WordPress guru, maybe it’s time to consider giving Ludwig his own page. I’m sure he’d help.

    A big ol’ “Attaboy” for your 2019 posting string, Jimmy.

    I hope I can repeat that on 12-31-19. 🙂

    The orphans thank you most kindly, Mr. Johnson, for the wonderful improvements you are making to the Village. They are quite excited about this venture, even to the point of not being disconcerted by being locked out of the Orphanage without any prior warning. Auspiciously, the Board had anticipated such an eventuality and had arranged for alternative accommodations adjacent to the main building.

    Yours faithfully,

    Have to stand to get rid of cramps – sometimes hard when
    four cats are laying in me.

    I find 2 – 3 fingers of Pickle Juice gets rid of persistent cramp
    quickly (about 3 oz.)

    I like the notes regarding posts on the right side of the page, which are visible before clicking on the conversations.
    You go, Jimmy!

    JJ, the calendar to the right of the cartoon is incorrect! It is labelled as 2019, but seems to be from 2018.

      Although it is now a few hours after your post and may have been corrected after your observation, I found the calendar correct. It does start the week with Monday which could lead to some confusion.

        I just saw that, too. Apologies if I screwed up on this point, JJ.
