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.

Maybe he’s got the mirror angled so it’s directed at the TV in the den? Just do like we did and get a TV for the kitchen. :-)

I thought maybe it was her iPad… on a stand or in a case…
And he’s using a recipe on a website….. and getting food all over the screen.
Maybe that’s what thebird meant too…. but he(?) didn’t say what of hers.

2nd last panel: When there are children in the house, that’s what it always looks like. Protip: the best stuff to clean the screen is anti-reflection lens cleaner you’d use on your eyeglasses, available at any optical outlet. Makes an appreciated stocking stuffer too.

is he getting his own tablet for x-mas or a cook book?

He might be watching Mo Rocca’s cooking show.

Tablet….but in Arloworld that could be very interesting…….website and subject matter wise.

Get a good firewall for it, Janis.

Yeah. I was in hurry, late for bed. He was messin’ up some kind of electronic gadget (tablet, iPad, Kindle, I don’t know) of hers. And probably something he had previously teased her about using.

You’ve got it! But it takes a little thinking to see it. More people need recreational problem solving in their lives.
