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.

Why do men so often do the half-way job?

When my best friend was married, he would put both the seat and the lid down on the toilet so his wife would have to lift something as well. That’s not why they’re no longer married!

I thought everybody did that. Maybe just us because we have always had dogs and didn’t want them drinking from the toilets.

Why is it the man’s job to leave the seat down and not the woman’s to leave the seat up?

Urinals… much easier to clean and use. Why don’t more homes have them?

We put the seat down aaround here because the house is arranged so that the toilet is visible from the dining room. Ugh!

I started putting the lid down before flushing after a column by Dave Barry, no less, made me aware that lidless flushing sprays toilet effluvia as much as six feet into the air. According to

this is called the “aerosol effect.” Check it out.

The wife cleans the cat box, I clean the tons of manure out of the barnyard. I’ll trade any time.
