Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 25, 2013

Transcript:
Janis: Maybe Arlo has a point!
Janis: I mean, I have my health! I look better than a lot of women my age!
Janis: I'm very lucky, really!
Janis: I should grow old gratefully!
That is why I like this strip. Jimmy will create a story arc about a serious subject and in the end it gave both a chuckle and made you reflect on the subject.
To avoid getting to be too preachy he will throw in Ludwig on his hind legs doing the Cha-Cha-Cha.
She has nothing at all to worry about. Unless, of course, one day, she actually gets to take a bath without an Arlo ogle. Then, it will be time to worry. (Or time to see if Arlo still has a pulse.)
Posted late yesterday, so may not have been seen. To repeat..love how intelligent comics have become. Love reading the intelligent comments Arlo and Janis fans give. Please, carry on.
“When you´re old your mind works . . .” With the wisdom of age, I thought up a neat bumper-sticker slogan yesterday. Then, with the way my mind works now, I forgot it!
When my “ex-girlfriend, but still close friend” would complain about her looks, I’d have to stop myself from saying, “But I don’t want a beautiful (or thin, or whatever) girl, I want you.”
So true! Reminds me of a passage I read in a Gary Grant biography. The author said that what made him so charming in real life was that, when he walked into a party, his attitude was not, “Hey, here I am!” but rather, “Hey, there you are!” That goes along with a quote from Maya Angelou: ’I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ (Add – forget how you looked – into that.)

Age brings wisdom. Plastic surgery just gives you more scars.

Well said. But remember “Wisdom doesn’t always come with age…sometime age comes alone.”

Re: richardwebsterIt’s that old saying: “Why is it that just when you get your $hit together, your a$$ falls apart?”

Janis, we love you just the way you are! (In fact, I’ve seen a number of guys here describe you as “hot!”)

Yesterday he told her she didn’t really look young and beautiful—and today she’s saying he’s probably right!!

Wrinkles are battle decorations for courage under fire. A little beat up, but unbowed.

Sneaky way out. Janus is drawn without age lines (compare with Pearl in “Pickles”). So, how would Janus look after the operation, what’s to change?

We watched Gene grow up. Now we can watch Arlo and Janis grow old.

Maybe you could do something about that weird hair.(I’m hoping that it’s not possible to insult a cartoon character.)

Janis looks great, and that is what Arlo was really saying yesterday.By experience, I have learned it does not matter what Arlo or I think, however.

When my “ex-girlfriend, but still close friend” would complain about her looks, I’d have to stop myself from saying, “But I don’t want a beautiful (or thin, or whatever) girl, I want you.”
I think that was Arlo’s sentiment yesterday.

Please. Don’t fall for the hype.
