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.

Yep, somethings a father just doesn’t want to know about his adult daughter.

I never did either. I reckon the occasional “I don’t know” is one of the better answers a parent can give a kid.

Luann’s Dad is right on the edge of this sort of thing…

Is that Mordock999 under a new name? (It’s an inside joke with Mordock – they often tend to mention COFFEE in their posts) ;-)

Also, isn’t she working already, or does Gus leave the fryer unattended rather than put his daughter on it?

In the days when pay phones existed and you needed a dime:
A father gave his teenage daughter a dime when she started to date. “Hold on to this.”, he told her. “Things will get hot and heavy at times. Call me when you’re ready to go farther, and you’ll get my blessing.”
Well, the years passed, and the teenager grew into an adult. She never used the dime as the thought of calling her father was like a shot of reason into the heat of the moment.
On the day she married, she hugged her mother and father good bye and headed off to her honeymoon. At 2 am, her father got a phone call. “Dad,” he heard, “Is it okay now?” Through tears and laughter he gave her his blessing.

… And three years later she divorced her husband when they discovered that they expected completely different things from their intimacy.
Oh, if only they had known before tying the knot!

Seriously Strod? I suspect you are representing a whole lot of folks who feel sex before marriage is a great thing. However, in my manner of thinking, if two people of a couple do not know what they want from their intimacy with each other… then they don’t know a whole helluva lot about each other… and should not be tying the knot anyway. To me, I still think that it is best for couples to wait until they are married before having sex.

Abosolutely beautiful! My wife of 6 years and I were both virgins. Yes, our first few conjugal nights were a series of misadventures … but I’m sure glad I had them with her!
In this day and age, I guess I’ll have to give my three daughters cell phones instead of dimes. (c;

This sort of grosses me out. Who calls their father to announce they are about to have sex?

Gus isn’t stupid, he knows how much his daughter missed her future husband.

THANK YOU STROD!!
People, seriously… take it from someone who found out the hard way: you want to know that you & your partner are sexually compatible BEFORE you make that lifelong commitment.
