Jimmy Johnson suffers mild heart attack

Arlo and Janis creator Jimmy Johnson posted on his website that he exerienced a mild heart attack earlier this week.

I used to vaguely be amused when I’d miss a day here on the Web, and readers would write to enquire nervously about my health. I am no longer amused. Early Monday morning, I had a heart attack, that quintessential middle-age experience. Oh, I’m OK! I’m out of the hospital and walking around with a slight limp, having suffered nothing more invasive than having a Roto-Rooter inserted in my groin area and shoved up my torso into my heart. Twice.

I am not overweight, have never smoked and have a normal level of cholesterol. Apparently, genetics got me, maybe helped along by stress. I’ll be back with the Web site next week; I expect we’ll talk about this some more. I’m going to be fine. Really.

  1. Dear Mr. Johnson, I have always commented about how Arlo and Janis mirror my life in such an amusing way. I pray I don’t get a heart attack. I truly look forward to your strip every day. I hope you have a full recovery and get back to drawing what I believe is one of the best strips ever.

  5. When we go on vacation I donate my paper to the NEA, Newpaper Educational Awareness. I’m loathe to do so because then I can’t catch up on Arlo & Janis. I love your cartoon. Please keep them coming.
