Can Jon shoot for goodness?

mm-hmm

Jon and greatness ? … Sounds like an oxymoron, to me.

Jon the best you can aim for is mediocreness. Even that is a longshot considering that most of the time you’re a total dimwit.

Jon, you’re better than okay. You have the love of a fine woman and the toleration of a cat.

I was targeting adequateness. Some distance to go yet…

I am happy with just being comfortable.

Why can’t people be okay with mediocrity. Jon would be much more cringe if he was an Instagram influencer trying to be more than he is. He is from a generation that where not told they where special at every opportunity and given a participation medal, Jim makes this a big part of his character. He stays in the same place doing the same things and finds happiness with things we all do, have pets, work , socialize and fall in love.

Jon, if you get above mediocre that’ll be an achievement

I believe that I have made it all the way to acceptable. Well, dogs like me.

You have to respect Jon. He is honest.

Saw a t-shirt this past summer; World’s OKest brother.

“WHO AM I KIDDING?”

(imagines a different version of the panel of this cartoon involving this dialogue involving no dialogue)

The proper term is “okayity”.

Come to Oklahoma. We’re all OK.

happy dia de los muertos!

Jon’s also destined for nerdiness.

Always remember: The scribe who wrote down Beowulf was only an okay writer.

Dorkness is my observation.

Sometimes, one has to be realistic.

I also find Jon destined for okayness

I was Great once, but I’m just OK now. I’m OK – You’re OK, We’re all OK.

A 1967 self-help book by psychiatrist Thomas Anthony Harris.

Look at the bright side, Jon, at least you’re trying your best.

Sometimes “okay” is really great. Sometimes “great” is just okay

Count you many blessings, Jon.

Red hair…green shirt, if he has gold pants on…he has been listening to too much boy .George..

Red hair…green shirt, if he has gold pants on…he has been listening to too much boy .George..

I’m destined for the grave… but it’s the journey that counts.

let’s get real here, you are destined for accidents and a lot of moments of worse than just awkwardness.

Settle for mediocrity?

“Some are born okay, some achieve okayness, and some have okayness thrust upon them!”

In a previous life Jon was Alexander the Great’s younger brother, Basil the Mediocre!

As Dirty Harry said, a man has to know his limitations.

Shut it Garfield.
