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.

Here they are America, two of the few remaining people to subscribe to the dead tree version of the newspaper. There are none left in our neighbourhood, and I suspect there will be none left at all in 10 years.

It might just be the one of the free ones with all the coupons and sale circulars. They show up around here by default, unless you call and tell them to stop.

Yeah, we get those free ones too, but who would go out into the cold and wind to pick those up? I just wait until I’m going out anyway and then toss them in the recycle bin.

I think foglights would be more appropriate for the older females (and now running for cover in the deepest foxhole I can find).

I still buy a paper. I love the time it takes to read, I love turning the pages; it’s like a book about what’s really going on – around town. Shoot I never would have known when sports tryouts, etc were for the kids if I didn’t read the paper.
