Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 22, 2015

Oh no, we’re not going there. ;)

Arlo wants to go back there.

Arlo remains happy, regardless

I wonder what proportion of couples use the more private digital technology for … you know … nudge, nudge … wink, wink … say no more.

Used to be we could upvote comments and take a poll.

Come on Janis don’t be such a stickinthemud.

Janis knows…it’s easier to hide Polaroids than digital pics.

And once Polaroids are destroyed, they’re gone..Those days copiers/scanners weren’t available around the home either.

“Ahhhh, com’on Janis. Just one little ‘selfie’ of us in bed for o’l times sake.”

did this in the 70s and again in the 80s…wish i still had those pics but it’s always the wife that freaks out and does them in when you’re not looking. too bad.

Probably wise, considering how many phone plans include automatically backing up all contents to the cloud site. Not to mention apps that, if you forget to turn them off, automatically post your photos to Facebook. Get’s you lots and lots of followers, though. .And this whole group here would be first to “Like” them. .The mind boggles at what must have been happening off-camera in the second panel to induce Arlo to fire away like that.

But the SX-70 camera was one of the most amazing examples of product design ever. The world is not a better place for its passing.

I think the point Arlo is trying to make is that she should ditch the “old technology” (book) for modern technology (ereader).

Janis is thinking no nudes is good nudes.

“Aw, c’mon! My digital and your pixels… it’s synchronicity!”

The tongue hanging out is particularly telling.

I still have my polaroid, I suppose I should dust it off. The problem with those is that kids may accidentally find them. I agree that a digital camera is best without the wifi. My hubby once lost a smartphone with some compromising videos and things on it.

The only one who would pay for mine would be the Smithsonian Inst. And Ripley’s believe it or not.

What is Janis holding in the last frame?

“Forget what?”, he asked innocently.

I did some work in one of those “200K rolls of film a night” shops. One of the walls inside the machine was lined with pictures that, um, violated somebody’s terms of service.

Yay! I’m only 4 years behind now.
