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.

Arlo should know better than to say anything at all. Doghouse time is here.

Perhaps just from a different point of view or angle?

No, he’s not in the doghouse. Janis is playfully swatting him because Arlo’s dogging her, and being suggestive!

Hard to miss Janis’ sexual connotation: “You get that every year…..Don’t you want something different?” To which
Arlo hesitates and then says, “Well…”, suggesting that he might like a change (kidding I’m sure). She swats him as though he were suggesting a 3some, new lover, etc. (In like manner, she is playfully hitting, knowing he’s happy with what he has.)

Perhaps we see Janis wearing a blond wig next Christmas Eve??

Or maybe they invite the single gal from Janis’ office over so Arlo can spread around his xmas cheer?

Don’t ask a question you don’t know the answer to.

My take: Arlo’s just thinking up new variations, not new faces (or hair, or whatever).

A while back, a fellah parked his Harley next to my Shadow, sharing the car slot parking space. I thanked him for making my bike look better by parking there, and he laughed. As we chatted, he told me his wife called his Harley the “mid life crisis” machine. I told him, tell your wife that a Harley is a sign you’ve ‘arrived’ at a place in your life, but a mid life crisis was having an 18 year old girlfriend instead of your wife of 20+ years as a back rest.
Next time I saw him, his wife was with him and we shared a good laugh.
Janis might consider buying Arlo the Karma Sutras for Valentines Day, and then it can be Christmas all through the year.
Mischievously,
C.

Yeah, the Karma Sutras are good for a few laughs. I have a complete translation and the part most people think about is really only a tiny section in the back of the book.
