Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 06, 2013

If the tick is where I think it is, it’s no fun. Had one there when I was about 12. Had my dad take it off and it was humiliating.

Good for Janis…….No jury in the world….

A very little mirror, eh, Arlo?

Beats having a leech there (from Stand By Me)

GOODNESS! Janis is flashing PANTIES!

just remember that what you do is reversed in the mirror….

A leech will come off with a little salt. A tick is a lot more difficult. Don’t squeeze too hard, and don’t pull the head off.

if they have been married for any length of time, which I know they have, you would think they had seen every square inch of each others bodies……just let her get the tick before you wind up with some kind of disease.

The best way is to use the tip of a just extinguished match, or a cigarette, or a heated rod of metal, and place it over the tick, who’ll then pull out its blood sucking apparatus.I don’t understand why Arlo won’t let Janis help. It might lead to better things.

Cover it with petroleum Jelly. can’t breath, backs out.

You cover it with Neosporin, which makes it easy to remove with good tweezers and puts anti-biotic ointment in the bite. And yes, I have removed them from my husband in the same place! No problem.

Thought I had one down there. Asked my wife to remove it. She got all the necessary “tools” for the job. Took a look….asked if I had my glasses on when I found it…l didn’t…..said she didn’t think she could remove the mole.

For all those burdened with myths on tick removal methods, here’s some objective advice as well as a helpful video: https://identify.us.com/idmybug/ticks/tick-FAQS/how-to-remove-tick.html

Per the CDC: Avoid folklore remedies such as “painting” the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible—not waiting for it to detach.

Hmm. Reruns. This strip ran on 6/9/2011.

Richard Pollack, yeah, just pulling them off with good finger nails does the trick….

The tick was the farthest thing from my mind. Once again, JJ is taking an opportunity to display Janis’s ‘finer’ qualities.

Easy Janis!

Looks a lot like 6/9/2011….

I was going to say something about the tweezers and pulling on the tick, but I won’t. Which might be why she’s laughing.

The last thing a man wants from a woman at a moment like this is laughter!

Looks like Arlo is the Butt of the joke.

She’s laughing at his dingleberry.

one word…PANTIES!!!

this is the funniest one I’ve seen.
