I’ll return to the classic A&J cartoons soon, but I want to announce, formally, that the oft-delayed Kickstarter campaign has launched. It went live yesterday about noon. I did post a short message about it late yesterday morning, and I want to thank those of you who already have responded. The campaign is a third of the way to its $10,000 goal already! Yes, fund raisers must set a goal within Kickstarter, and if that goal is not met no funds are collected. It’s as if nothing ever happened. However, this is the point where I should mention that the sky is the limit when it comes to exceeding the stated goal. Insert smiley face.
I’m new to all this myself. We have a lot to talk about. For one thing, exactly what is this big project for which I’m campaigning? And there’s much to talk about in the area of rewards, which will be the fun part. They’re fluid, by the way. Rewards can be changed or added during the course of the fund-raiser. Let’s do it this way: if you’re at all interested, go to my Kickstarter page; watch the silly little video over which I toiled for hours and hours; familiarize yourself with the project; check out the rewards. We’ll meet back here over the next few days, and I’ll try to cover all the questions. Whether you participate or not, I hope you enjoy the project. Go here: Work with Arlo & Janis

God bless us every one.
Today’s cartoon: When I was 10, I knew, though I had no idea why. Or maybe I did. It was about then that I asked Mom the meaning of a four letter word that even The New Yorker now prints regularly. She said ‘Talk with your father.’ Peace,
Joyeux jour de Bastille:

Paix,
Met Gary and family last night and went for a fun dinner involving Poutine barbque and Jack Daniel’s. Gary and entire family are funny, smart, knowledgeable, kind and loving people. What else would one expect from the Village?
The parsonage restoration is obviously a labor of love. Great job on the video “pitch”. I laughed out loud….several times. Oh yeah, the restoration documentation was well done, too. And enticing rewards. “My stars!”, as Janis would say. I hope you meet your goal. Good luck!
Jimmy, would the “see-saw” artwork above happen to be that for either the “Thank You” card or the “Original Sketch”?
I like it quite a bit, even if it might have benefited from Janis displaying a bit of cleavage. But hey, that’s just me. 🙂
Been there, done that. Just never on Bastille Day, that I can recall.

Pledge entered!
Where will you be in MA? I’m right on the border in NH!
Burns, he will be here: http://bostoncomiccon.com/
Boston is a little too far me, but it sounds like a perfect setting for a Village meet up!
I’m already ticketed for ComicCon Boston on Saturday. Good thing I have my A&J t-shirt. Otherwise, I’d feel sooooo underdressed. If Jimmy wants to offer hints about a good time to pounce on him, I’d welcome them.

Busy now, and cannot figure original out. Setting and figures are wrong for the Prodigal Son. Maybe later.
Peace,
emb, based on Google search, it is a version of the return of the prodigal son. You got it right.
Artistic license, perhaps?
Jackie, Lezlie, Dickens and Stella have made it into the US from Canada. (Stella’s the boat). However a trailer wheel bearing caught fire and they had to pull off into a parking lot. No damage to anything other than the wheel, and nobody hurt. But they are trying to figure out who can move and repair a trailer loaded with a boat.
Here are Jackie, the boat’s builder Jonas, Stella the boat and the trailer : https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13654370_273047309737218_5967407923554861977_n.jpg?oh=8908b77e8b025d4dc78b598eabe3aa05&oe=57E8E60A
Ditch the trailer and get one that can carry that boat. That’s my suggestion.
Apparently, the existing axle on the trailer for Jackie’s new boat is rated at 3500… close, but under the weight of the boat and rigging. The trailer repair shop is recommending that they add a second axle to reduce the load on each axle and individual wheel. Luckily they have Dickens, the Adventure Dog because this apparently has become an adventure.
Mark: Yep, ‘The Prodigal Son.! Also another one, ‘Dividing the inheritance,’ Dad pictured as not quite as old a man.

Nikolay Losev was born in 1927 and died young in 1999, 72 or so, thus spending most of his life in the Soviet era, perhaps never read Luke 15. By now, he may have. Dad was not an old man, and did not meet the kid in front of the house. He ran out to meet the kid on the road, most undignified for a proper Jew, who would have had to life his robe to run, thus exposing his legs. Shameful!

Sometimes, there is such a thing as too much adventure.
Judging by the photos on the Boston Comic Con site, I’m guessing that prize-winning female cosplayers don’t have to have big boobs, but also that it doesn’t hurt their chances. Jean would know more about that than I. 🙂
If someone cosplays Arlo or Janis, we will, of course, expect to see pictures.
Ghost, there is a possibility someone could cosplay Ludwig too. Since furry animals are popular in those events.
emb, artistic license, maybe?
And I just found an Easter Egg on this site. If you click on the see-saw drawing above, it takes you to the Kickstarter project page Jimmy is working with.
This looks like fun! Electric go karts on an indoor track. Too bad its in Huntsville.

Mark: I suspect ignorance is more likely. Good draughtsman, though.
Saw more phalaropes this afternoon at:
http://expl ore.org/live-cams/player/orcalab-base
[remember to close up expl ore before clicking] than I could count. Droves feeding in the currents N of Hanson I., in the strait N. of Vancouver I. Resolution was good enough to reveal they were Red-Necked Phalaropes. Map 236 in the big ‘Peterson Field Guide to the Birds of N. Amer.’ shows them not reaching that far S. on the Pacific coast, but they obviously do. They mostly overwinter off coastal S. and C. Amer. Also saw at least one Sea Otter, and maybe some Harbor Seals. Within the last half hour, saw what were probably surfacing Humpback Whales; very shallow surfacing, no spouting, but some tell-tail dorsal fins. Paix,
Jimmy I am glad that you are doing this for the parsonage. In a crazy world that we live in it is so good to know that GOOD people still exist.
For those who have lost ones or are reminded if that loss with all of the Madness in the world today:
