It’s tough when the spouse doesn’t respond in a timely manner even when given repeated questions and waiting and waiting. The email or text or response is just far more important than the person 3 feet away. Me, I’m sure I don’t do that…at least not much…not to the same extent…I think. Maybe she feels the same way.
He thinks she’s on the phone and he thinks that she doesn’t see him, but she’s actually recording him. Arlo is technologically challenged, so it’s on him…
Regarding yesterday’s discussion on croquette and, specifically, Varnes mention of bocce. We have played croquette camping with the course set up on the forest floor – pine cones, hummocks, rocks and all. Who needs a regulation course!Same for bocce – we play it anywhere: forest, desert, through camps, through tents, through culverts – anything goes. We’ve lost jacks down gopher holes and have had games with as many as a dozen players. Pure fun and bugger the rules!
As I recall in Harpo Speaks, Wolcott’s croquet had no out-of-bounds, and if the ball went over the cliff, you had to play it from where it lay. Those are merely ground rules for the site, no bugger about it.

…I read it as, he thinks she is reading something online and ignoring him; meanwhile, she is actually using the camera, making for a hilarious video…

I love this comic. However, it seems lately most of them are about Janis in someway either ignoring Arlo or doing/saying something snarky.

Doesn’t she have anything better to do than annoy Arlo?
