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.

Yet – ask her what was said on Dec 27 2005 at her friend’s house and she most likely could recite the whole conversation.

Yeah…when she’s in his hunky presence, it’s hard to hold onto her train of thought.

Smile and nod sometimes, but listen? No, I don’t think so.

Arianne: Yours were just chapped, I had lips like hamburger meat and couldn’t produce a tone. I also had two concerts and a couple of less formal gigs before they totally healed. I hurt my split lip! And my wife didn’t like the cartoon and made accusations at me over it!
