Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 28, 2021

I’m drawing a blank about how variation of 8888 could start trouble.

8888 with a bunch of segments burned out Same as 7734 upside down.

Interesting concept. JJ is forcing us to find our own gag.

tart?

Impersonally bash the beast!!

It was electric!

I have a couple of ideas, but GoComics won’t give me a free PASS. (Skip the P.)

Now I want to know what it said.

Sometimes mine says ‘your food is ready’ sometimes ‘your mood is thready’ sometimes ‘your dude is freddy’

The real joke here is that Janis believes the microwave has both intelligence and a personality.

F0FF??

She worries about a LED display and considers it an insult? She’s never been “wrapped too tight!”

80085?

What are the most unused keys on the microwave?

HE double hockey sticks LL

Mine would say “TART” if the s was burned out of “START”.

What???

I thought this was going to be about a new smart appliance. True story: I recently got a notification that my phone was worried because it hadn’t heard from my oven in a while.

“It took me three hours to figure out that ‘F.U.’ was Felix Unger.”

Microwave: “0000”

Janice: “Fresh!”

What DID it say?……

BOOB

Lol Janis!

She laughed. I laughed. The microwave laughed. I shot the microwave. It was a good time!

Whatever you think it is it isn’t.

first number ‘5’ next could be an 8 with the top and bottom burned out. then a number “1”, and then an odd ’7.
