Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 17, 2014

And it’s fault for not saying a word.

heh heh i have kids like that

Well Arlo was blocking her view of the entrance to be fair. Not that she was really looking or anything.

Walking past your own house isn’t so bad. I’ve watched kids walk into poles while playing on devices.

OK, that “HUH??” wasn’t just me!

One of these days she’s going to walk into the street and dent a perfectly good car…..

She’s so mad the bush in the background went and hid somewhere! Smart bush…maybe smarter than Arlo.

at this early hour it took a couple of 2nd looks at the cartoon and reading other comments to “get it”; now i can say “ha-ha”

Looks like Arlo is blocking our view of the bush..Also seems she may have run into something.Arlo looked concerned in panel 3.

Confession: I walked into a post that way when I was a kid

I just want to know what she’s reading; it must be awesome!

I thought the joke was that Arlo is getting all his information from the mail box, and is waiting for Janice to come back around.

Glad she wasn’t driving…

I am 66, and love to read so much that, as a kid I walked and read the book I was currently reading. I never walked into anything or fell down. Which is odd, considering that I am naturally clumsy, and fall a lot when NOT reading and walking.

Just walk on byWait on the cornerI love you butWe’re strangers when we meet(Or when your mind is elsewhere)

I’ve watched two distracted young men walk into poles & parking meters. The distractions were young ladies almost wearing summer clothes. ;-)

i don’t even need a smartphone to do that. i like to think and walk. when i am really focused, i have very little knowledge of what is going on around me.

I really didn’t get this one until Joe explained it. apparently I wasn’t the only one.Ever now and again JJ throws a curve ball that zings right over my head.

is it a coincidence the bush has what looks like a smiley face?

Perfect example of distraction. If a pedestrian can be that unaware of surroundings to walk right past their own home AND the person they’ve been married to for decades; imagine what happens when idiots use their cell phones while driving.

Like several others, I had to read the comments to understand the strip.

Understood it the first time and thought it was great!

Don’t get it.

Wait…his wife is grumpy and he’s HAPPY about it? Bad Arlo!
