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.

she’s afraid she’ll drop them or crush them…she’s really focused on keeping Mom’s flowers pretty. (foreshadow, foreshadow)

A person with great responsibilities, such as a king, is constantly worried

Is it me, or does Meg’s hair change color frequently?
BradyB66 said, 8 months ago
And is Arlo just a bit casual for the day?

Like ML, Meg’s hair was originally blonde but went past her shoulders. By the time A&J met her, Meg’s hair became a light brown like her mother’s but Meg started sporting a bowl cut. For at least 2-years now, Meg’s hair has mirrored that Shannon kid from Luann.
Further, I’m with you on Arlo’s casual style. Janis bought a dress, couldn’t Arlo get a sports coat?

Yourvright BradyB66. My wife would have driven me
Nuts about what is “dressy casual” for me. I always tell her there are no inspections, no one is interested in what
I am wearing.

Meg’s feeling the pressure of responsibility!

Is this unusual for a pre-teen in your area?

JJ has remarked that he has no control over the colorists at the syndicate…that may be why Meg’s hair isn’t blond or brown as it was

Arlo is wearing his “good” blue pants and red shirt for the occasion.

Sheesh. It’s ‘dressy casual’, not ‘casual dressy’! Am I the only guy around here whose wife has taught him well? A sportscoat would be overdressing.
