Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 24, 2014
Transcript:
Gene: I don't know why Pop told me about the closing date, but I didn't do anything wrong! Gene: I mean, you're mad at me because some sound waves vibrated off my eardrums! Arlo: All that schooling, paying off! Janis: Let's all calm down! Mary Lou can call Gus in a bit - I'm sure there's an explanation! Gene: That's why we elected her "Mom"! Arlo: "We"?!

there may not be what seems like a reasonable explanation to Mary Lou, but there is ALWAYS an explanation.

he did do something wrong. He kept something from his wife. He should have told Gus that he either he would tell Mary Lou or Gus should right now.

Plus he tells his parents before his wife. Now there are more people in on his little secret.

The first two panels could stand on their own, and be one of the greatest strips ever….Well done….BTW, It seems like all the men all the men screwed up this time….There’s something that never happened before….

What chance Gus and Mary Lou end up owning (buying on payments) the Dock?

Doesn’t Arlo have a boat docked at Gus’s place?

Is Mary Lou pregnant or was Ludwig the 6th at dinner?

I get the secrets part, but my concern is that we went from the 20% top to this k hole so fast. :(

The hormones are starting to churn. He’ll have to step carefully for the next nine months or so.

I’ll bet Gene won’t get to see Mary Lou wearing her “45% top” for a while.

Arlo!?! Gene is trying to make peace! (At least, that’s the way I see it.)
ARLOS DAD over 10 years ago
I think someone should slap someone just because…..

Your male eardrums, Gene!

Arlo, you cast your vote for Janis as Mom as soon as you impregnated her.

really this doesn’t involve Arlo or Janis. Gene is only marginally involved. Gus, Mary Lou and Meg are the main people concerned.

Susie is right! Arlo was eating enough for two people — stuffing himself, in fact. In this part of the story line, wouldn’t you think Arlo and Janis would talk to each other about the “Dock” BEFORE they came down for breakfast? With the bedroom door closed so no one could overhear them?

Hmmm. Well I guess Arlo & Janis aren’t the new owners of “The Dock”

I predict that Pop is “closing” the restaurant so that it can be re-opened as Mary Lou’s.

And then Gene bounced some sound waves off Arlo’s ear drums…
