You know there couldn’t be a series of strips with various characters appearing without Johnny making an appearance.
For anyone new, or anyone who wants to go back to when Johnny Sanderson was introduced… Here you go.

JOHN-NY! JOHN-NY! JOHN-NY!
“…the ebola virus!” – priceless!
I would LOVE to know how Johnny’s audience is. Love the faceplant in the second panel. Been there…
This is a great strip, Johnny returns with a bang, the boys finally get caught by the dogs with an unexpected twist. Nice.
Multiple points of humor in one strip from Jim? Is this a hint of things to come?
I don’t know about that kevin… Multiple humor points just happened to fit into this one. I usually like to mix it up and try different rhythms now and again.
Beautiful. Great faceplant. Shoes flying off is a nice touch (I’m starting to learn to keep an eye out for such details.) Speaking of details, I looked to see if the view through Fred’s glasses would be magnified, but it looks like it isn’t.
Nature is disgusting, and persistant. I didn’t really get what was sneaky about the dogs.
Yes! Love the Johnny dialog and I love the anti-hippy joke! “I like to think every time i bite into a big, rare steak that somewhere a hippy’s hacky-sack goes into the gutter.” -I can’t remember who said that but if ended with a face punch it could have been Johnny
The thing I love about the humour in these last few strips (the “running” joke, you might say *snicker*) is that all the Fred/Adam/dogs action has been in the background and NOT one of the other characters (Grandpa, the Announcer, Johnny) has apparently actually noticed it, so caught up in their own worlds they are. The plight of the boys is not important enough to impact on them. It’s funny, but WHY? It is rather tragic, too, in a way. This is why the skewed viewpoints of humourists and comic artists (especially good ones) are so important, and why you rock, Jim, when you do stuff like this…humour puts the soul at ease, and allows us to think, consider, and evaluate situations without the pressure or bias that a more egocentric, serious or personal approach may place upon us. I reckon this gives the mind room to move, and helps us develop a more holistic approach to life, a more empathic relationship with those around us. (aargh, it’s late and I’m waffling – I’ll stop now).
