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.

Whenever I see a reference to “Faux News,” I’m grateful the dummies identify themselves.

It’s the fluff, human interest stories and teasers of the real news and weather that comes on 1/2 hour before the 6 o’clock news.

The real news doesn’t come on until The Daily Show and The Colbert Report

What got me was seeing my still-sentient, college-educated husband watching CNN’s nightly hours-long coverage of the missing Maylasian Flight 370. This went on night after night after night, and my husband would watch all the somber, zombie-faced talking heads advance minute factoids a millimeter or so, hour after hour after hour. I felt bad for the families of the missing people, but come on!
