From the salmon-colored sofa that is the center of the Arlo & Janis universe, this unique and quixotic comic strip has been just about everywhere. From unvarnished human drama to flights of unfettered comic fantasy, from unabashed pathos to unsurpassed observational wit, Arlo & Janis is perhaps the most unpigenholeable comic strip ever. It also invents new words!
The characters Arlo and Janis have played the parts of mermaids, squirrels, alligators and grasshoppers over the years, all while exploring the unexaggerated human condition and managing to become, with their son Gene, perhaps the most believable family in the funny pages. This unique approach has garnered Arlo & Janis an intelligent and engaged readership and guaranteed that a percentage of it will be confused at any given moment. However, readers eagerly return every day for another quaff from what has been the holy grail for a generation of comic-strip authors: quintessential Boomer humor.

Ah, this brings me back to when I aspired to be an officer on the USS Enterprise.

This is sweet :)
I used to be more for the high seas, myself. I told people I wanted to be a pirate captain when I grew up. They would smile and laugh, but I would tell them “No, you don’t understand. I’m really going to be a pirate captain one day. Just wait and see. I’ve already started recruiting for my ship.” (aka I drafted my friends and family pets) XD

I once asked my godson if he wanted to be president when he grew up. He thought for a moments and then said, “No. King.”

@Doctor Toon
Growing up is optional.
Unfortunately, growing old is mandatory.

Yaaaah! The old artwork is rather scary. Although when it was originally published I’m sure it seemed normal.
