I thought you might enjoy a warm-weather cartoon from 2011, although it isn’t an installment of A&J that begs a lot of commentary. I will say I have had a life-long love for the shore, which has always shown up in the comic strip. I still love the beach, although I no longer expose myself to hours of ultraviolet damage, anesthetized by snow cones and, later, malted beverages. When I do visit the beach now, it usually is with like-minded friends who are content to wander about the sand like cattle (sometimes even barefoot!) and marvel at how pretty it is. After maybe an hour, we’ll load up and head back to town to beat the dinner crowd.
What about all those whales?

Jimi:
Can you edit your post? I think that you meant “no” and and not “know”
I like the beach, but not the water. I wear a t-shirt now. Not to protect from UV rays but so no one can see my bare chest.
Jimmy, not Jimi…. We had a nearby restaurant by that name!
The lower edge of Janis’ suit in p.4 seems odd. Mayhap, the arcs defining same ought be in the opposite direction.
My most significant change is that I do no feel compelled to swim anymore. I very happy to sit, walk, sit, walk, lie about, put my ankles in the water and splash a little water on my arms and legs, sit, walk, sit.
Nobody’s yet told me how to go back & look at what I’ve missed since we left for TX on 24 Feb. Peace,

As you probably found out #1 is today – 2 is yesterday & the big # is the beginning.
Jimmy: Heading back to beat the dinner crowd, eh? Well, as long as you don’t start wearing velour track suits, you’re still safe from going to a retirement community.
I won’t talk about my own age and dining hour. But the sweats are really comfortable.
Arlo is definitely an environmentalist. He eliminates the energy-sapping collection and cleaning process, and he recycles directly.
Santa Rosa Beach in Pensacola, FL didn’t have bath houses when I was there in 1973, just the porta-potties lined up near the parking lot. I learned to always lock the door when I was in one, by seeing some poor guy who had the door blow open trying to close it without turning around to face it. It was broad daylight, but I saw the full moon over the beach that day.
