Transcript:
Janis: What's on TV?
Arlo: Don't know.
Janis: Well, what are you watching?
Arlo: Nothing much.
Janis: What channel are you on?
Arlo: Beats me.
Janis: Television may be a bad babysitter, but it's a great husband sitter.
I fail to understand why even a man would write such a blatantly obvious male-bashing strip! If the roles were reversed there, every woman in the world would be screaming about their feminist rights and that JJ is prejudiced!
Whatever his ‘job’ is, it’s off-screen, and doesn’t involve chain-saws or air-boats. Just a guess, as they’re pretty close to the ‘Mizsippy or Loozyanna Guf coast’ and son’s Seafood Restaurant…

I swear, that’s my husband! Flipping from channel to channel until he’s totally lost. You never hear about women doing that.

I only get confused about whether I am watching live TV or a DVR recording.

This sounds trite, but I’m 99% sure I would never be so dead while watching TV, and 99.99% sure I would never answer Janis like that.

Arlo needs a job. Is Jimmy a chick – pardon me, of the female persuasion?
rcerinys701 about 12 years ago
Arlo still has his job as far as I know. I don’t think he retired after his heart attack a few years back.

@jackiehmoon: Because the strip carries a female perspective on a lot of things, that’s why…Obsession with cats, mindless husband, etc.
