Hate to say it, but Janis is a typical woman. Goes to a restaurant, drinks nothing but plain water, eats a two grape salad then complains that “ugh! I ate too much”.
This strip reminds me of the Richard Pryor shtick which, before the final punch line essentially boiled down to “I spent all of that money on steak and lobster … I’m gonna make whoopie with somebody!”
We’ve been going about this all wrong guys. We need to start making them pay up BEFORE going to dinner. Then we can tell them that we’re too tired to go out and give them a rain check for dinner.

I’ve given up trying to redeem my rain checks. Every time I go to redeem a rain check I get a rain check. ;-)

Cashing those rain checks works both ways. Just you wait.

When it rain checks it pours. More like discretion is the better part of valor.

Looks like that raincheck is six years old. I missed the earlier copyrights this week. Did anyone mention it before?

If she ate too much she needs to work it off somehow;)

When my girlfriend and I broke up I mentioned all the “I’ll owe you ones.” She is still in debt.

Someone’s mouth is issuing a check the rest of his body can’t cash. ;-0

Those two need to visit 9 chickweed lane. They never hand out rain checks over there!

Is that a new shirt, Arlo? Never remember seeing him wear baby blue. New colors for Janis too.

my rainchecks apparently had an expiration date…they don’t seem to be redeemable, anymore.

My wife laughed, heartily and good-naturedly, when she read this one.

Reverse rain check is practical, it will give you something to do un a rainy day.

“I ate too much”, still doesn’t beat, “I have a head ache.”

like all debts they accumulate in value, he should cash in for a free pass one weekend.

Another rain check! Arlo has rain checks of his own:

Perhaps Janis’ laughter comes from this:

Arlo. Relax. Her tummy is full after dinner. After a while, remind her that it has stopped raining.

Again, I adore that this strip deals with so much of what we older married folks have gone through together, heh!
Tyge Premium Member almost 3 years ago
Cry foul Arlo! After enticing him all evening with that string strap blouse.

all dinners are romantic when they are spent with your significant other!

Sometimes claiming the raincheck at 3am works — worth a shot

I never want to have sex after I’ve eaten. It is too uncomfortable to lie down with a full stomach. I prefer the sex first and then dinner.

Careful Arlo, Janis is laughing because she knows she can wear you out, any time she wants
Zumtahk Premium Member almost 3 years ago
Ahh, yes, the married woman. Always ready for “next”.

Arlo’ s ultimate issue may be one of physical (fiscal) deflation while factoring in net depreciation over time. Too much accounting?

Arlo is writing checks his parts may not be able to cash!
