Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 11, 2022

Checking on the wife to make sure that she is not sunbathing doesn’t count? Or wine delivery to the bather, also does not count?

OK, now where did I park that boat?

Grow a mustache,

“You’re my hobby, Janis.”

Janis, if you need a model, Arlo can be your Adonnis

How about posing for Janis, au natural?

Ominous words. I fear that Arlo is doomed.

Arlo soon won’t be able to get away from his honeydo. :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qixNg3-juJ0

Like repairing the car until it’s beyond repair.

I wonder if being a living model for his wife could be considered a hobby.

He needs a hobby? How about if he takes up raising horses?

Arlo has just displayed the primal eye roll.

Arlo is a very good cook, if a very messy one, so his hobby could be cooking? (The Hubs bakes bread, tinkers with a 3D printer & has a wood-turning lathe.)

Living alone is a good hobby.

Hobby for the wife, makes a hubby’s happy life

My wife is a quilter. My hobby is driving…

Like cooking?

Arlo keeps Luddie happy, that is certainly a hobby.

He has two hobbies. Cooking stews and ogling Janis.

In the series a few weeks ago on how they met in college – didn’t Janis have art as a hobby?

I hear that quite often, Arlo. It will pass.

Some of us are too busy to have time for a hobby.

Watching TV is a hobby.

Wife-Watcher; Wine-Steward; Pool-Boy; Cat-Wrangler; Chef…

Arlo has a hobby…He is a loafer!

He’d probably like to sketch from live models. So many male atrists seem to have gravitated there.

Restoring an old Corvette is a fun hobby

Elden Ring or Destiny 2

I like life just as it is. I don’t need any more clutter in my life…..

Uh-oh!

My hobby is supporting your hobby

I’ve tried sketching, but it turns out to look like chicken scratching…

“YOU are my hobby.”

What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.

I’ll be in the bedroom sketching you from memory.

Taking care of Janis is a full-time hobby/job!

I haven’t put pencil to paper for years. Recently that old urge is coming back. I found my old drawing pads, pencils and charcoals. I will soon find out if any of my meager talent remains.

Why is he rolling his eyes? Don’t understand this comic half the time.

When my hubby retired I told him he had 6 months to sit around and be a slug. After that he’d have to find something to do.

What’s happening here is that she’s trying to get him into the garden and try his hand at drawing. Some of the more “mature” comments above may then be prophetic.

Then I brought home the race car.

Maybe the first thing Janis can sketch from nature is the high horse she rode in on.

My dad’s hobby is picking something on the TV that does not bother him too much . . . and falling asleep to it.

That’s an eyeroll for the record books.

We have too many hobbies. We each work in a variety of media making (and attempting to sell) crafted items. Our garage is his woodshop. Our living room is his loom room for weaving. The finished part of our basement is where his leather shop is, he cuts mats, we store fabric on the bolt and cut same, store finished projects. The “family room” off our kitchen is our main studio.

We are also 18th century civilian reenactors. I have made most of our clothing. Our living room has two wooden boxes with rope handles – looks nice in our “tavern room” and we bring them to events to sit on and store our things in – including items we have made to sell or demonstrate at events. We are officers of our unit and spend a decent amount of time dealing with the business of the unit.

I do embroidery – modern and 18th century – that I do not sell (would never get what the labor in it should cost) including demonstrating at the 18th century events.

He collects James Bond books (some first editions) and memorabilia. I collect Louisa May Alcott books (some dating to the 1800s). I also have a extensive teddy bear (and friends as some are other than teddys) both plush and figurines who take up the smallest bedroom of our house, a corner unit in our living room and there is a village of the bears which change more or less monthly in our upper hall.

The bears in particular have been a God-send during the pandemic in giving us things to do during the pandemic. We could also “go” to the Teddy Bear Village and “visit” with them.

Remember sail boats?

Didn’t Arlo say he was thinking of taking up a hobby, and Janis looked at him funny? Or, Is that one that is coming up?
