Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 20, 2022

Left handed complements usually do not go over well!!

What Janis needs is an undercover operative to solve this problem.

I think an offer for her to move over next to you to warm up would have been better. It seems a little late at this point.

Arlo – you smooth talker you!

Arlo, you “Mr Spocked” her!

Good job, though that usually doesn’t work in marriages!!

In the last panel Janis looks like Punxsutawney Phil checking to see if there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

You don’t say that to a woman!

He died in bed…..

Quite the unforced error.

Arlo; with all your poorly-worded comments, you are lucky to have a wife with the patience of Alice Kramden!

Janis looks like she’s calculating if her massive weight can hold a pillow over Arlo’s head long enough to…

And if layers keep one warm, why do you have to cook onions?

He has a point. BUT….

if looks could kill…

I take it Janis is not wearing her flannel jammies? Any jammies? And she has Arlo warm up the sheets. I like this arc.

Since your temperature sensors are near the surface of the skin, fat isolates them and you feel colder.

No one has mentioned, yet, that Arlo is apparently comfy with no top.

What about fat people are supposed to be jolly?

Put some warm socks on!

Maybe if you wore pajamas to bed . . . .

That’s a fact! When I lost weight I could/can NOT stand the cold and relished the warmer weather.

Janis does not like logic…

Good thing you have your phone Arlo, I think you will be dialing 911…

And those were the last words anyone ever heard Arlo say…

Just a thyroid condition.

Hahaha, that was a great chuckle. Loved it!

now i am really feeling old…..

As opposed to an off handed comment.

Up for some friction to warm up?……

Yeah, I’d get the stare of death too if I said that to my wife.

Yeah, I believe I would have said something like, “come over here baby and snuggle in, I’ll keep you warm”. Never miss an opportunity to snuggle!

Another 2 points for Arlo.

Leave the first “as” out, Arlo.  It makes a difference!

If it’s freezing~Arlo wears no tops to bed

Fat is not an insulator. But it does help you float, if that’s any comfort.

Unfortunately it is too cold to go naked now except in bed to sleep right now. And going to get colder tonight.

Take the good with the bad.

I’ve been on the receiving end of a look like that before! Words just kind of slip out before you can stop them!

If I was cold I would definitely put some socks on.

What will be on his headstone?

Sorry, I’m fat, but it’s just that much more of me to be cold!! But she really should put some socks on – that’ll help a lot!

Arlo, are you testing how much she loves you? Enough not to kill you?

“Let me take care of that.” (And ten times the points if you begin with foot warming.)

There’s no correlation. In one of the offices where I used to work, some of the fattest women were the ones that wore extra layers and/or brought in space heaters because they were “cold” all the time. Meanwhile we men were roasting.

I was fat – then I was thin (down to 105 lbs – I am short) and then back up with a few more downs – never again that low – and ups. I was always hot. Husband would argue with me as I would not wear a coat until it was in the 30Fs and then it was left open – it would not be closed until sometime in the teens.

About a 10 years ago I lost weight again (and this time has stayed off – though still not thin, just no longer obese), at about the same time I went through menopause and the doctor said I had low thyroid (which is suppose to make make one feel cold) and I started taking meds to bring it up to normal thyroid (which should mean that thyroid was not making me cold). I suddenly became freezing cold all the time. Not sure which one of these things or if the combination of them caused me to be so cold. Husband will take my hand when it is hot outside and be shocked at how cold my hands are. (Does not seem to be a circulation problem.)

I found out the hard way a couple of years ago that if one is freezing cold and the actual weather that one outside in is in the 80Fs – one just has put up with it as wearing a sweatshirt (something in the old days I would not do until it was in the 50Fs) in that temperature can cause heatstroke – even as one is still cold. He either tells me what the temperature is or I look at the outdoor thermometer we have to dress appropriately for the weather.

He also has a rule for me – If I am feeling comfortably warm, it means that I need to put on the air conditioner until I feel cold again or I will get sick from the high temperature in the house that I do not realize exists.
