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.

Could it be that the problem isn’t college football?

He seems to be addicted but only complains about it. His wife in sympathy sits with him. She is enabling him.

How far away is the sailboat? There are so many college games. If he watches three games a day, that’s nearly 9 hours. A nice drive with good tunes and pleasant company with two or more hours getting the feel one’s new sailboat could be really nice. Weather permtting of course.

No, I don’t watch any type of football. If the teams aren’t jacked up on steroids, now some of them deliberately play to lose.

I don’t think the sailboat has left the dock yet, has it?
