Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 02, 2024

Under the circumstances any other answer would be foolhardy.

Condolences, Janis

Thus speaks the man who has weathered storms of HIS own making!!

Good for you, Janis! Natural gray is beautiful.

Careful Arlo, you could sprain something making a quick turn like that.

Change of hair color for Janis. Does Arlo dye his hair blonde?

Arlo stepped in it.

Arlo is a master at handling dangerous situations like this.

Usually I can answer “do I look good in this” without being in the same room.

Looks good

“Oh, you like it? Then I do too”.

Nice save Arlo

Always wait to determine the correct response. It will usually be given to you.

Arlo should only say he likes it. There’s no down side, only up. If she hates, he can be reassuring to her. If she likes, then her feelings are confirmed.

My wife decided to stop coloring her hair, it is a pleasant shade of white. She looks good!

My mom had her natural hair color well into her ’70’s. My three brothers all inherited her genes. I got my dad’s hair genes which means I’ve lost some and I went gray in my 40s. I was walking someplace with my older brother (by 5 years) and someone who knew him asked if I was his older brother. He laughingly said yes. I didn’t bother to contradict him.

“Oh, I do, too!”

Is there some yiddish word for Janis’ poor posture in the 4th panel?

Go Janis, my wife went to not coloring a year ago and it’s looking great.

Wow something actually happened in this strip

Yes, of course you like it, Janis. How foolish of Arlo not to recognize you as resplendent with happiness in the second panel!
