Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 30, 2023

It gets us in trouble but there are times when a man has to do what a man has to do.

Janis didn’t hide it well enough.

The GF hasn’t found where i squirreled away my creepy clown mask. The modern monster mask.

Where’s the price tag

She threw it away because she’s embarrassed every time you wear it instead of enjoying the fact that you get enjoyment from it

The mess indicates she hid it very well.

Arlo had the mask on Sunday?

He wore the mask. He wore the monster mask.

Good thing he found the mask before finding the teddy he bought Janis on their first anniversary.

I’ve tried driveway sales in the past. The most I got was about five dollars, and that was for old military insignia. Dishes, cups, et cetera people just looked at and then went away. Wasn’t worth it.

Imagine that!

Another fine mess Arlo!

It’s not the one you had on yesterday?

“You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone.”

I used to sit rather motionless with a hideous mask and robe on the porch. Some kids would take a look and just pass me by

At last = A mention of the yard sale

[singing, with a back-up group] He found the mask! He found the Monster Mask! He found the mask! It was in the yard sale trash!

Imagine that…

Where’s the cattle prod?

She hid the mask! She hid the monster mask! ;)

Is it even any good??? Latex degrades after a period of time.

He was wearing it yesterday and she was wearing a witch mask.

That was a nice try, Janis!

It’s not packed away anymore and neither is the rest of the ‘for yard sale’ things. But I’m so glad you found your old monster mask.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

“Monster Mask gooood; hide Monster Mask baaaad…”

Now how did it get in there???

It would have been worse if he had to buy a new one, and then there would be more junk to get rid of.

Is this out of sequence with yesterday’s strip? Seems like this should have come first.

Priorities Arlo…….

Janice tried to hide it but it didn’t work out. Re-pack all the yard sale items.

By now, the inside of that mask must be pretty nasty.

Hard to believe it hasn’t been snatched up already.

She knows Arlo.

i think just about the last thing i’d buy 2nd hand is a rubber mask. Ick!

I can’t believe that nobody has referenced the infamous strip where Arlo wears the monster mask to bed and Janet replies “Maybe”

Janis’ hopes of getting rid of that mask are fading away. Poor Janis.
