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.

It can be worse than depleted oxygen if you had spicy food for dinner.

I LOVE AnJ. This strip illustrates the reason why. Subtle and funny at the same time!

This is totally hubby and me; except that I’m the one who wakes up and turns over.

I use a full face mask CPAP machine so it doesn’t matter if we face each other.

I remember several years ago an A&J strip that was “how to reverse your spooning position” and and something like “dangerous for newlyweds, those just dating should not attempt” any one know which one that was? I’ve been looking fo rit for quite a while.

I think the loudness depends on the setting, and the age of the machine. My wife has no problem. But there is a pillow set on edge between us to block the air stream when I’m facing her: that is impossible for her to sleep through.

Actually the newer ones are not so bad. My hubby recently got one and it solved my old air problems and his not breathing problems. :-)
