Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 05, 2011

I’d get a back scrub and a “Want to talk about it?” With 2 small kids it’s as close to alone time as we have…

Arlo sneaks a peek….

He’ll be back once the bubbles die down, then he’ll listen to anything.

No one wants to know about the bad day you had!!

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, women gotta complain.

He got his answer, then left. In this case, good judgement prevails.

He’s been reading Philippians 4:8 again.

too many bubbles blocking the view, so why hang around.

He’ll be back. Why waste a good bath?

I think that this strip would’ve been better beginning w/ panel #2 and having Arlo leave in panel #3: something like “Okay, see ya, glad you’re enjoying it”.

A sympathetic ear and a good back rub does wonders.

Arlo has left to get the two glasses of wine, obviously. Should be continued tomorrow.

Men never listen to their wives complaints.
