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.

And people have an excuse to be late for work. But they always remember the other time change.

Just got home from my 7 hour shift. How lovely to go from 2 am to 3 am in an instant! Much nicer to lose an hour of work than an hour of sleep. Speaking of which…..goodnight!

Making a nation get up an hour early isn’t so hard.

I just think about those folks in Arizona, they don’t do DST, they just keep on keeping on but have to adjust their brain to remember the other times for work and such. Frankly, my brain don’t like working that hard so I would rather turn the clock back or forward so I can see what time it is, and no one actually calls arizona anyway. lol just kidding.

On what planet does summer start in March? Here on Earth, the northern hemisphere starts summer in June while the southern hemisphere starts summer in December.
