Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 24, 2020

She could have taken the mask off once she was outside the store. She certainly didn’t have to wear it while driving home.

Will it ever be normal again?

Date night has become a little more interesting.

“New normal” ? Sound to me more like “new crazy” !

I have gotten in the car and forgot that I even had the mask on

As soon as I put my sunglasses on and they started to fog up I remembered

I wear mine 8 hours a night at work and only take it off for breaks and lunches, amazing that it was so relatively easy to get used to it

Normal is what got us here in the first place

Penobscot County in Maine had the lowest, almost non-existent covid rate until early August when a wedding venue hosted 65 people. There are now 53 (and rising) related cases. Google Millinocket Covid to learn more.

Be appreciative and grateful now for what you still have, Janis. Otherwise it quickly turns into Whine Time.

Normal… That’s a good one. This is the new normal

I once tried to drink a cup of coffee while wearing the mask. Did not end well.

How’d she get the shirt off without disturbing her mask?

It appears to be wine glass and not wine plastic. Folks, that’s the real transgression here!

As Jim Garrigan said, though, “Have you ever noticed that whenever you drink wine out of anything but a wine glass, you feel like a drunk?”.

Nailed it, Janis.

She could just live without a mask, like normal people, unaffected by the mass scare hysteria of an almost-nonexistent problem.

A glass of wine will restore balance to this crazy world.

What is normal Janis? THIS is the NEW normal.

Oh goody, time for a mask war in the comments. Sigh.

so Janis is an optimist, apparently

Things will eventually Normalize, but they’ll never be like they were before.

Shes gotten so used to it…until she wants a sip

I like a nice glass of Chablis when I’m in the shower.

Wow, I expected a bunch of pervy comments from dudes excited at seeing a cartoon of a women wearing a towel. Things HAVE changed! :-(

I’d like to change the subject: Do most women keep a towel draped around themselves while waiting for the bathtub to fill? And if so, why?

You and about 300 million others, Janet.

Anyone having a problem with blank comics?

Everything is there except the comic strip?

At some point, I expect not wearing the mask akin to how I feel when I don’t have my seatbelt on in the car.

I saw her wearing the mask as a bathing cap on her hair to protect the hairdo.

I think the joke is that she’s really already doing all her normal activities, shopping, walking, drinking wine, taking a bath. It just feels different because of the mask.

IKR!!!

Not going to happen. This is the new normal.
