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.

False. People have been hugged from behind before, so you can receive one without giving one…or even being able to in that instance.

Arlo was referring to LOVE.

Jimmy,
I love how A&J seems to be a reflection of your life. It is the life I wish for myself. Thanks.

Not usually and exceptions are just that and they don’t contradict the meaning. Unless you want it to.

I used to dread hugs with a back “pat-pat-pat”.. That usually meant I’d been widowed, or that a relationship was about to end.

Who sang that song? “Love ain’t nothing til you give it away…you end up having more?”

@Mike Blake
I think you’re looking for a song with lyrics “love is something if you give it away, you end up having more”. That’s “Magic Penny”, by Malvina Reynolds.

Gosh, how many times have you been widowed?
