Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 14, 2013

Why is it so hard for some people to accept a complement?

When I was 21 I never thought I would live to be this age (60). And luckily, I’ve even got a hot wife! Then, again, some people do say I’m crazy.

I have no ’wife ’(hot nor otherwise) in either current sense of the word. I am merely a cat servant (or meowservant) in every sense of he word.

@edclectic: I’m 60, too and I have a hot GF (wife passed away some time ago) 15 years younger than myself. Life is good.

“I feel well.” (Sorry, pet peeve.)

A hot wife whose clothes change color in different lighting.

“If I knew I’d live this long…”

@scullyufo – shapeshifter?

How old are they? Early fifties? That’s a good age. I hope they don’t become Opal and Earl, though I I like them too.

@OldDog1: I’ve made it to 78, NOW what? No turnin’ back NOW, ferdamshure. It’s a one-way road and no U-turns allowed, apparently.

Not the reaction Arlo was looking for. Janis can be such a bitch sometimes…

marvee, although it’s hard to tell in cartoon time, they met in the 1960s….And like they say, if you were around in the sixties, then you’re in your sixties (or more!).

Take a good look at the last panel. Right after the “hot wife” comment, she’s head up and “chest” out. According to the body language, Arlo scored big points.

You beat me to it. Hit me!!

“Good” is an adjective, and modifies “I.” “Well” is an adverb, in which case it modifies “feel,” though in this sense, it’s generally accepted as an adjective. In other words:

“I feel good” = “I have a sense of well-being.”

“I feel well” = “I have a sense of well-being” (as an adjective) or “My sense of touch is functioning properly” (as an adverb).

I have a hot wife. When menopause brought her first hot flash, it never went away.

perfect comic for my birthday! and all true!

Hot Wife…what more could make your life great

No Kraut today? I was getting to like him and his mini rants :-)

Like all of us, Janis has been persuaded that “hot” is the exclusive preserve of the young. Boy, are they wrong!

Boy, does he EVER!!
