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

Est. 1985

Extra, Extra!

Unfortunate Cookie

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
When I sat down today to update this page, I thought it would be interesting to look back and see what A&J comic strip ran on this date in 2001. It was interesting. Actually, this cartoon appeared in newspapers Monday, Sept. 10, 2001. It was the beginning of a week-long story line about mortality and uncertainty. While not exactly predicting the horror of the next day, it’s creepy enough, don’t you think?

    You could use Catastrophe, just call it Cat for short. Then, when others ask ‘Why, just Cat?’, tell them it’s short for Catastrophe. Then you’re one up!

    Debbe πŸ˜‰ Here’s another song from my Make Out, ah, Mood collection. (I suppose most of them would be good slow-dance tunes, if anyone insisted. I love to slow dance.)

    Apparently, they only came up with two opinions concerning men with beards over on TDS…love ’em or hate ’em. Actually kinda surprised they came up with that many.

    Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering
    which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good
    platform.

    guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same subjects
    as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
