Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 30, 2017

Role reversal!

Are those Daniel Craigy good looks?

He’s lived his whole life with that nose, and he’s worrying about wrinkles?

“Pearls Before Swine” said it well. With those Craggy Good Looks comes “being alone, everything hurts, and no one ever visits.”

Another grey hair in the brush?

Awww, someone needs an ego boost.

Wondering how old Luddy must be by now…

Just like gray on a man is ‘distinguished’, while on a woman must be hidden

“wrinkles only go where the smiles have been” – Jimmy Buffett (‘Barefoot Children in the Rain’)

The winter of man’s discontent.

Long gray hair on a woman can be attractive. We’re just not used to it. Look at Emmy Lou Harris. She’s gone gray, but I’d love to hang out with her, and quite frankly, do anything she asks me…..

Arlo looks pretty haggard in the last panel.

As Maxwell Smart would say, “Missed it by that much.”

I get tired of hearing the same old stuff. Aging gracefully. Phooey! I am aging like a dying last rose of summer. Do I care? As long as I am breathing, I can deal with it!

Arlo, you are looking fine!
