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.

I still have a book-light for my PAPER books. LOL! It puts out less light than that Kindle, I can read well by it, and it never bothers my boyfriend.

I was subbing in a 7th grade science class. They were supposed to be watching a video about carbon, (Quite a unique element!). It was projected so the room was dark. A couple of kids got out their phones, but kept them out of view so I wouldn’t see them. But their faces were lit up! Busted!

Reading under the covers with a flashlight will never be the same.

Yes, but it’s so much easier to hold my Paperwhite, than a flashlight and a paperback!

on my iPad Kindle app you can reverse it to white lettering on a black background, hardly any out glare at all

It’s not her reading that’s bothering him. It’s her heavy breathing during the sexy parts that has him going.

Once I suddenly woke up wondering what that bright light was. It was my wife checking the time on her Indiglo watch.

She doesn’t know if you read every comic. Just ignore her if it bothers you. NO NEED TO SHOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
