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.

Pardon my typo, that was supposed to be “other” not “ther.” Dang auto correct never works when you WANT it to!

I bet this is going to be shared and forwarded to a lot of former marching band members. I’ll be showing it to my son.

Love it! I was in Drill Team & Band, & can walk & multi-task at the same time! You are playing an instrument or doing drill routines while marching in fancy formations like half-time shows. It has nothing to do with the idiot-in-chief’s inauguration.

My employer will not allow us to walk and use a cell phone, we have to stop and talk/text. If we are caught using a cell phone while walking or driving, even in our personal car while on company property we are reprimanded.

In a marching band, you learn to march smoothly so that you can blow your instrument. Have you ever watched the soldiers at the tomb of the unknown soldier? They seem to glide over the ground.
