You say ‘shlemiel,’ I say ‘schlemazel’

By Jimmy Johnson


We covered this a couple of weeks ago, so I won’t go into it again in detail, but I want to thank those of you who read Arlo & Janis on the GoComics.com site for participating. By participating, I mean punching the appropriate social-media buttons. You know the ones. You’ve been very kind. The results, from where I sit, have been gratifying and much better than I dared expect. I do want to mention: Don’t be shy about clicking the “share” icons for Facebook and Twitter!

    Good morning. Jimmy the things I do for love! I signed up for Gocomics on all my electronic equipment just to vote for you on multiple memberships and emails.

    As soon as I figure out how to get back into my Facebook account and Twitter I will share and tweet.

    It is called networking and guerilla marketing.

    Interesting column on Luther and several recent/500th anniv. books re him.

    https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/30/how-martin-luther-changed-the-world

    PG-13; some quotes are gross. Also, apparently the only folks he hated worse than the Pope et al. were Jews.

    Peace,

    Superb blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring
    writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog
    soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
    I’m completely confused .. Any recommendations?
    Thank you!
