Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 12, 2013
Transcript:
Janis: Does this space-time stuff have anything to do with the letters? Arlo: What letters? Janis: "What happened to Gene? Where are Gene and Mary Lou?" Arlo: Maybe... Arlo: I'm just making the point comic-strip time is funny! Time isn't as relevant here! Janis: You know, I wouldn't mind seeing my son, either! Arlo: Et tu, Brute?

Did Jimmy just break the fourth wall, or the fifth wall? I lose track….

When we finally see Gene again, it’ll be like the Doonesbury characters when Trudeau came back from his long hiatus. Just as all the Doonesbury characters were suddenly years older, Gene and Mary Lou will have three more kids, moved off the farm, taken over the restaurant when ML’s dad passed, and franchised it into a very successful nationwide chain, earning millions in the process. Or something like that.

I’m picturing Gene being thawed from carbonite.

Hey Jimmy, do you read these comments? If so, please have Arlo yawn in a future strip as a signal!

I recently quit subscribing to a daily newspaper for the first time in many decades. The ONLY thing I really miss is Arlo and Janis! Tuning here online these days.

blanche64 over 11 years ago
now that gene is out of the house, shouldnt a&j get a dog, or travel, or at least run around the house naked?

I have been wondering about Gene et. al. I mean Janis got an instant grandchild, wouldn’t she be visiting at least once a month? I know my brother and his wife are at my nephew’s place at least that often to see their granddaughter.

Comic strips allow time travel – you just can’t change anything.
