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.

A friend of mine’s wife knows more about football then any 5 guys. Problem is none of us can stand being around her. I know it is sexist and mean but she don’t know when to shut her yap.

I don’t think it’s sexist. Man or woman, I can’t stand to be around a know-it-all who doesn’t know when to shut their yap.

Why is it always assumed “the poor little kitty” needs points?

Hmmm….let’s hope it’s not MY (and Jimmy’s Tigers)…otherwise it’s more like “Jimmy! How could you?”. ;)

This isn’t Bama over LSU, it’s Bama over Missouri! Bama plays three different Tigers this year. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

Because this is about Bama Football and everyone needs points this year or they would all bet on Bama!

I knew a guy like that once as well. The great thing was that he was actually so clueless that, with some care, you could insult him and he wouldn’t realize it!

Hooray, it’s back to being a funny strip and not a soap opera!

This was supposedly funny? I didn’t understand it at all.

Why is everyone so afraid of being called sexist? In spite of the PC police, some generalizations are spot on.
