This week's commissary cartoon cracked me up. You forgot to add "lost" men. I call them "Cling-ons". The follow their wives, dazed and confused, and serve only to comment on the prices of things, add un-necessaries to the cart, or clogg up traffic. There should be a place to park them at the door, for pick up after shopping! DH check, ya, I'll go for that!
Sorry...no, everything has NOT been okay on my end. We've had a little family emergency and I had to get the Red Cross involved. They were able to get me priority seating on a flight back to the States last Saturday.
I'm just now getting a chance to update everything. It's been a real booger trying to access my files from a laptop (instead of my PC).
I'll write something about the emergency in the next few days. I probably won't go into much detail because it's a very personal family issue. Everyone involved is stable now and I'm spending my days as a houseguest - helping with housework, groceries, and errands.
I'm going to be here all summer and hope to find time to draw and post more often.
Jenny follows the adventures of a young Air Force spouse determined to overcome the challenges of a military lifestyle. Drawn from the real lives of both contributors and the cartoonist, Jenny's experiences reflect the humor, ingenuity, and sheer determination necessary to be successful as the spouse of an active duty military member.
Blog, blog, blog
I opened this Blogspot account to keep the readers of "Jenny" up-to-date on details involving the strip and/or military spouses.
My name is Julie Negron. I'm the creator of "Jenny", the only comic strip about life as a military spouse. "Jenny" is a weekly newspaper strip published worldwide by Stars & Stripes and approximately 50 military publications. A few years ago, I was relocated to Okinawa, Japan, courtesy of the USAF, and have since resided in a military housing unit. "Jenny" is largely based on my personal experiences as a military spouse because the fun never ends and I have no choice but to cartoon about it. I've been a freelance editorial and single-panel cartoonist for about twenty years...and a comic strip cartoonist for the last three years. Being a cartoonist is all I've ever wanted to do and I hope to be able to continue for many years to come...as long as the ideas hold out...and the eyesight...and the hands...! Oh well, bear with me and we'll take this journey together. Cheers! ~ j

OH, and did you see in this week's AFTimes that they're changing around the ABU already. Another TICK tock in the AirForce time line :)

Hey, you okay> It's the 21st and there's no new comic or post up. Is everything cool where you're at?
Hi, J.M.

Thank you for the concern. You're very astute.
