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.

I see it also changed what you entered from “autocorrupt” to “autocorrect”.

Excuse me for irrelevance, but can anyone explain today’s “Bizarro”? If you can, many thanks. “Arlo and Janis” folks are the best explainers!

Dad has disposable plastic glove in case toddler drops a load. Dad unsure of concept: puppy vs. toddler.

That is the same exact screen as AZ Central except with even more pop up ads.
It takes 15 minutes for me to read 6 comics over there.

Simple, visiting a site that renders an entire page of junk before displaying the item you are interested in (the comic) is a site that should be removed from your bookmarks.

Menus and submenus written by those for whom English is a third language. That would include American born Gen Xers.

Do you know of a site where I can read Pardon My Planet, Rhymes With Orange, Mother Goose and Grimm, Mallard Fillmore, Sherman’s Lagoon and Bizarro and not get the ads? BTW I have a pop up blocker but it only gets about 2/3 of them.

OK, after reading the remarks, it dawned on me that she is trying to program a new phone. (Duh!) My cell phone is so old it still has a rotary dial. Works, and nobody wants to steal it. What mmore can I ask.

He’s walking his toddler on a leash instead of a dog. But these “leashes” are often used on toddlers who take off in any direction and could get lost easily in a mall or store, etc. Hope that helps.
