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.

Although I can’t stand turtlenecks either, I’d rather that than turtlehead! ;-)

One of our cats tried playing with a plastic bag and got the handle part caught around his neck, ran around like a maniac trying to get it off
Scary until we caught him and removed it, but it really would have been funny if it hadn’t been so dangerous

“Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.”

I just tried to kill the bug on my screen – twice.

I agree. I feel the same way about rings, wrist watches and tight cuffs.

You can always ask the officer to make the cuffs less tight…

Turtleneck and neck ties, to never wear either one again would be a good thing.

No one wore a turtleneck the way Diane Keaton did. (Or does)
She’d wear one that really did make her look like a turtle. They were so high up around her ears, she only had to lift her shoulders to all but disappear! lol!

Touch the kitty……or Janis (on the right part) or some fun.
