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.

Arlo crawled up to the edge of the tub? Sneak attack or recon?

My cat will walk around the edge of the tub when someone’s taking a bath.

Oh, I don’t know. I had a cat who was absolutely fascinated by the bathtub, especially when the water was running. She’d be scratching at the door within minutes of me running the tap begging to be let in, and she loved batting a the water as it was running. I always feared she’d fall in one day and would start flailing her claws about with me in a very vulnerable and exposed position, but fortunately that never happened.

NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED!, or is it nothing ventured, nothing lost? Either way, you go for it Arlo (& Ludwig)!

The cat wasn’t getting into the tub, just investigating/visiting… and Janis did not appreciate it, and so splashed him to make him go away.
Which is exactly what she did to Arlo mere minutes before.

We had a cat once, my wife was taking a bath, the cat jumped up on the corner ledge, tiptoed across the faucet to the back corner ledge, turned around, and came back, and…slipped in about half way, bottom half, The look on its face was priceless, it immediately pulled itself out, raced out of the bathroom hid under the livingroom sofa and wouldn’t come near us for hours. We were laughing so hard!
