I’m sure Arlo knew exactly what was going on. He has had a long stand issue with her sunning herself with or without the suits. Mostly I think he is being selfish and just doesn’t want to share the viewing.
If there is a light, reflective surface such as a cement deck that is protected from wind by something like a hedge on 3-4 sides, it’s perfectly reasonable to sunbathe. The radiant heat of the sun, both direct and reflected can heat the body to a comfortable temperature.
JANIS!! The beach chair, you’re almost wearing. :) Look fast Arlo, it seems the only time you see her naked is when you sneak a peek at her in the tub. ;)
Hey Janis! Don’t even bother covering up! The neighbors have plenty of full frontal nudity snap shots of you that are already on Facebook, Twitter and various sites all over the internet! Enjoy the fame and be proud of your hot bod!!!
Southeastern Wisconsin, 3/8/13, 11:45am. Bright sunshine, temp in the mid 30’s. My wife just told me she was thinking about hanging towels on the clothes line.
Really? Does everyone here believe Janis is naked? It seems far more likely (to me at least) that she’s wearing a swimsuit that may be a bit less modest than normal for her. Then, when Arlo brings her robe in, she panics.
The strip reminds me of the story of the young lady out and about in a rural area—hot dusty road, in need of a break from what ever she was doing.
She spots a hole in the creek along the road under some trees and stops. Seeing and hearing nobody, she shucks her clothes off an wades in for a dip.
Refreshed, she turns back towards her clothes, only to see a young lad sitting on the bank , between her and her clothes.
Fortunately, she had noticed and old wash tub on the bottom, and she fetched it and held it in front of herself as she marched up to give the lad what-for. She started with “Do you know what I think”? which the lad answered wit:
“Yes ma’am. You thing that old tub has got a bottom in it.”
The lapels indicate that this is a jacket, not a robe. I imagine this still goes on; but at the U where I got my MA, it was common for young ladies with little weather sense to lay out on the greens in their bikinis; then throw their winter clothes and coats on to come to class.
I know many women who find being caught in a skimpy suit is every bit as mortifying as being seen naked. All I’m saying is, it works either way, but just because it’s Jimmy’s strip, most everyone assumes it has to be the worst case scenario.

Kind of heavy snowfall every winter for folks who are living down South.

She’s sunning and he needs a jacket and knit cap to walk around? Somebody didn’t check the weather.
davedelk over 11 years ago
She was shielded by the hedges, maybe using them as a wind block. In Colorado, even when there is snow on the ground its sunny enough to sun bathe.
Reppr Premium Member over 11 years ago
Are you sure that’s Arlo?
j-birds3 over 11 years ago
Good show Arlo..Spring has sprung…
JoeStoppinghem Premium Member over 11 years ago
Wait, if Arlo needed to ware a jacket, how could Janis sunbathe?Wouldn’t it be too cool/cold?
karfanz51 over 11 years ago
Man.. I love this strip… there is a little of everything…

She’ll need some warmup time inside.

If she would only hold the chair lower we could see if it was cold

Supposed to be 62 today and 68 Sunday here in the Atlanta area. Suspect JJ has similar weather in south Mississippi.

The hedge is green not brown. Maybe it is spring? and very cool with the wind.blowing.

I think Janis just “tans”, even in cold weather, because she doesn’t want to believe she may be a closet nudist.
twinsoniclab over 11 years ago
Was that supposed to be a robe? It looks like a heavy coat. And just who took it? It doesn’t look like Arlo.
mabrndt Premium Member over 11 years ago
I wonder if she spotted a camera drone taking her picture?

What was Janis doing? Resting naked in the yard without undergarments.

Forgot to mention about a foot of snow in the yard where the clothes line is located.

OK – Why does the hedge have a shadow and Arlo does not? And, the sun is either rising or setting, so the air must be fairiy cold. A weird panel…
Budman 2 over 11 years ago
Can’t tell by panel 4 if she is cold or not !

If that’s the case I’m sorry I just ate that Oreo. That’s gonna tank your insurance for sure.(hint: I’m not really sorry)

Uh…my question is WHY would she sunbathe in such COLD FREAKIN’ weather???
locake over 11 years ago
I live in FL and it is too cold to sunbathe at all in March.
