Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 24, 2025

What kind of plot twist could JJ have in mind? Big smiles definitely mean something’s different.

We think you need a house with a big Yard, Sandbox, and a Swing-set

Wait. Now the kids don’t want them to move there?

If you don’t look on our terms we’re going to sign you up with every real estate agent in both areas.

Moving is a lot of work. At my age I think I only have one more move in me. Well maybe two if you count a funeral home.

Oh Gawd, not this again

My problem with moving to South/coast is the weather does not seem to be improving. After the “blessings” of hurricanes, they appear to have collected tornado alley. (Okie by birth).

Grandchild?

Can’t those four just squeeze in with Arlo & Janus in that “too big for us now” house? Oops, already a comic strip with that plot – sorry!

They may be smiling because moving is on the back burner…again.

I’m so over this story line. It’s obvious mom and dad don’t want to move there. If they did, they would be miserable. Just visit once a year and move on.

My moving is on the back burner for life, I have found my dream home and I own it. Life is good and I will be here till I die.

The kids’ smiles tells me they have an ace up their sleeve….

Always fun looking. We looked at a place last Friday: 2.43 acres, house, guest house, swimming pool, solar. Original 1880 terracotta basement, cracked all over, rats, leaks, etc. Hard pass.

I suspect a baby on the way. Can Meg adjust? Can Janis stay home? Can Arlo not cut off his hand making baby furniture? Stand by Gentle Readers: All will be revealed.

I hate where I live, I hate moving. So there we are

“Mwa Ha Haaa!”

Grandbaby on the way?

Stay, just a little bit longer…

Are the kids planning to move back home?

The kids look like the cat that swallowed the canary but have some exciting news to share. I recommend Jimi if it is a boy and Grace if it is a girl (In keeping with the name of the strip).

It’s funny how the kids want to move far away from the folks until they need them again when their kids come along. Meanwhile the parents sell their home, hopefully for a gain and buy another house hopefully with just a small mortgage and have to work hard to pay that off just cause the kids want a free sitter. Then when the kids are 13/14 the grands are no longer needed and are in a place they did not want to bee. Self-centered thoughtless parents.

wait a few years and they can just move into assisted living — something I dread btw

Ludwig says he doesn’t want to move.
