About Arlo and Janis
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.

Basketball: Ten guys running around throwing a ball.
Tennis: Two hot women hitting a ball, while wearing very short skirts.
Tough choice.

Edited:
I’m with Janis. I dislike basketball immensely. I’ll be SO glad when the madness ends. How much longer is it, anyway?
I need to start proofreading.

It’s that time of year for a little round ball to be thrown 60’ 6" at 90+ mph.

Rather than watching, people shold get out and PLAY ball, any of them. Then we should respect the other choices a whole more than we do.
More balance
Less extremism.

Maybe he’s going to play golf. Now THERE’S a boring game to watch. A good walk ruined, and I agree.

“AshburnStadium, “Each to their own taste, said the old woman as she kissed the cow….” My favorite high-school teacher used to say that, but I haven’t seen or heard it since then. However, he said, "Everyone to "his* own taste
. . . ,” being an English teacher and all.
