   I’m definitely not a “phone addict” myself, but I still knew that a text “Luv you” was what this day’s comic was referring to.

   Neither my wife nor I would be able to sleep in the winter if we ran our heat as high as 71 ! (we mostly have it set at 66 during the day, 63 at night)

   Speak for yourself— not true for all of us!

   Granted, water is a huge problem in Africa and some other parts of the world. And the US does waste a lot of it on lawns, etc. But I don’t know if I’d call flushing toilets to be a waste. The parts of the world without toilets that flush and sewer treatment centers to process the waste have a heck of a lot of problems from using pit toilets, bushes, drainage ditches, or what have you.

   It’s not “great”, but I don’t mind it… better than the strips with their cat.

   No danger of my getting fired from my job— sorry to disappoint you in your “trolling” and hatreds towards people you’ve never met. And— just FYI— I won’t be looking at this thread again, so if you post anything else here don’t do it for my sake. Have a good day, though.

   I have to assume you were trying to be ironic/sarcastic/funny or something?— in telling me to “get a life” when you were going back to read comments from a comic that ran 14 months ago? But if you weren’t— then back atcha— “Get a life, buddy”. (I DO have a life, BTW— still working full-time, married, two kids, two dogs.)

   But to address what you said, sure, her face isn’t human-looking or beautiful— just as many comics aren’t. What I said about her representing a realistic, attainable-seem form of beauty or sexiness I mean to apply to her from the neck down— not her face.

   What you seem to miss about comic strip Janis is she’s “real-life” attractive and sexy— not some unrealistic or impossible to obtain version of a woman (that is, she’s as “real” as a fictional comic strip woman can get— no, I haven’t lost touch with reality and yes, I do have a real-life wife whom I love!)

   Seems more clear, at this point, that Arlo and Janis must both be around 66 to 67 years old in the comic’s “current time”— if they were at least college sophomores in 1975 (Janis made a reference last week to now being able to take more electives). And presumably they are both retired by now. I think it’s been ages since any strip ran that depicted them as working in their offices, or that had any reference to work or getting home from work, etc. That was never a big focus of this comic, of course, since it’s a relationship comic and not a workplace comic— but it did pop up now and then, in earlier strips.

   But— they never did resolve the sailboat thing in a final way, did they? I wonder if they are still paying to dock that boat somewhere, while never using it and only setting foot aboard it occasionally to clean it up again?

    I’m 63, but I know people in their 50’s who never saw or worked with punch cards themselves, but are still aware of what they were.
