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.

Head shake and eye roll-Is that part of a Cannibal’s menu?

I understand “little cups,” but, “put it back in the freezer?”

No, you put pints back in the freezer, the little cups you polish off. We get the ten pack of Blue Bell cups and it does work, because you feel bad taking a second cup the same day. Aaah, I remember the large Borden “Malt Cups” that said “spoon and dip or thaw and sip”

Enough Malt in them to bring a tear to the eye and a singe to the throat……sigh…..

An empty spoon is the only sure thing…..

I do that with the more convenient gallon size.
Cheers to Blue Bell coffee ice cream!

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

I think ice cream is a little bit of a substitute for booze. And I never realized that fact till recently. It can make you forget your troubles. Problem is it can make you forget essential things, too.

The doctor says it’s OK to eat “cute little cups,” depending on the size of the cup.

You put pints back in the freezer? Sounds cruel to me. Think about it. If you were in a freezing environment and someone rescued you would you want to be put back into that freezing environment? I can’t bring myself to do something like that. Once I rescue that pint I feel that I have to resuscitate it in a nice warm (98.6 degree) environment.
