Transcript:
Arlo: Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way!
Arlo: I can't wait to look in the mirror...
Arlo: Cause I get better looking every day!*
*Mac Davis
Janis: I want to be a man!!
Women, or society has done it to women, have made them think that unless they are underfed, like the Vicky-Secret models, who are probably photo-shopped in the pics, they aren’t beautiful..
Remember those five measly pounds you fretted over when you were 18 and it was bikini season? Wouldn’t you like to go back in time and knock some sense into that girl’s head? Tell her to enjoy her blessings while she has them, and to quit wasting precious time being needlessly critical? Well, 20 years from now, you’ll be thinking the same thing about this moment. Try to appreciate what you have while you still have it. None of us is perfect. Well, except Arlo, of course. -Okay, that’s how I try to think. In reality, what my husband hears all the time is, “Men suck!” You get better looking as you get older. Grey hair and wrinkles make you more appealing, while they leave women kicked to the curb. Some thanks we get for bearing the biological burden!
Honey, you’re a loooong way from fulfilling that wish. And experienced, mature men have acquired a gourmet’s appreciation of the womanly attributes that also mature with time. .(And for the pedants on board, “gourmet” is exactly the right word.)

Don’t worry Janis it is just Arlo’s ego talking.

He loves her just the way she is and the neighbor likes to watch when she goes on a walk. What’s the problem?

The reason we “get better looking every day” is because our eyesight is failing.

I prefer John Lithgow’s frequent utterance when he looked in mirrors on 3rd Rock From the Sun: “I’m gorgeous!”

Most men are delusional about their looks, they think they are much better than they really are.

Minor nitpick: it’s each, not every, in the lyric for panel 3. Every has too many syllables to conform to the music:

Probably not a swimsuit; given that the seasons are changing in this strip, probably just her underwear. Not that she doesn’t look good in it.

Great T & A. Why worry!

Their health insurance will probably cover her expressed wish but I suspect Arlo is in for a major shock next time he lifts that nightie.

Most women I know would have killed to look like Janis at that age.
