Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 08, 2012

The "EYES"have it!

I bet these days cell phones are driving door-knocker factories out of business.Meanwhile, Doublepaw, if you stop by, hope you have a minute to go back and read the comments that were left after yours yesterday.

think Gene was dumped or hit the eject switch? maybe he met up with his first girlfriend Ruth?

Well Susan, Double Paw should give a clue to my town in MI.

…she says stopping short causing Arlo to writhe on the ground in pain.

Time for the semi-annual Gene update!

Kids = worry….

Whoa! Didn’t see that one coming.

♫ ♪Our house is a very, very fine house, ♪ ♫ ♪ with two cats in the yard, ♪ ♫ ♪ life used to be so hard ♪ ♫ ♫ Now everything is easy ’cause of you….♫ ♪ ♫

Where does the “our” come from?

Let’s hope things end well. This isn’t “Funky Winkerbean,” for God’s sake.

As all artists know, everything is intentional. Gene’s posture and the subtle tilt of his eyeball in the second panel conveys emotional drainage. Some crisis is about to be revealed.

Gene has news for the parents he needed to tell them face to face. He’s about to make them real grandparents.

Here I thought Arlo was stopped by Janis’s sudden breaking.

Watch that tailgating, Arlo….

I don’t see any crisis, Gene looks totally relaxed and happy!

Maybe it’s for Mother’s Day.

Whooosh!

Any chance the plumbers need to cut off the water supply for a few days? Don’t know why they wouldn’t stay with her folks, but it’s possible they could’ve just asked to temporarily stay with A&J as in “OUR” house. Just thinkin’…

Ooo, the ice breaker for this story.Why would Gene be at home, unplanned and unannounced?.Has is father of his girlfriend’s daughter shown up?

Hmmm…I wonder if Gene is telling them that the house is actually theirs?
