Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 24, 2014

Janis, have you tried just looking at the sky? You can tell when it’s gonna rain…..And if you cut it close just freakin’ run!

First panel: Wet T-shirt contest! No wonder Arlo said “Whoa!”

It was always close to her…. but this time she really pushed its buttons…

If it dries out and recovers, I hope it doesn’t press for a charge of battery.

Should have invested in a waterproof phone case.

Bury it in rice to leach out the moisture.

Take out the battery immediately. Dry the phone as best as you can using a can of air if you have it. Put the one in a bowl and pour uncooked white rice over it completely. Wait 24 hours. Odds are heavily in your favor of the phone returning to life.

This definitely works!

The rice trick worked for Jeremy in last Sunday’s “Zits”.

Ouch!

Oh my gosh, this is Siri-ous!

Good riddance, I say..

Arlo only looks like he’s not interested, but his brain is fully occupied with the question of whether that old line, “Let’s get you out of those wet things.” really works? He’s also anticipating the pending warm bath at which he can play bath attendant.

I always carry a sandwich baggie with me when I walk if I think there’s even the possibility of rain.

Get the bag of rice!

Why didn’t she just wrap it in her T-shirt?

I wonder if Arlo is noticing the phone! or the wet T-shirt…

if you had access to a vacuum chamber, you could have it up and running in a minute or so. in a vacuum, water boils far below room temperature, so you can dry out the phone quickly.

my wife got caught in one of those storms a while back. she thought the phone was safe because it was in her rain jacket pocket. they don’t leak, unless you forget to zip up the pocket. and they hold water quite well.

How about we get you out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini?

fascinating, half of us are worried about the phone, the other half have forgotten about the phone before we even heard about it.half of us thing Janis is wet, the other half are thinking Janis is HOT and wet.what phone??

Like two drowned rats….

Well by this point it’s already over a year old which would make it totally obsolete so now she just has a good excuse to buy a new one…..p.s. my cell phone will be 7 years old in Aug. and the battery charge lasts for a week unless it’s heavy duty talking, so I’m not a fan of the “smart” ones.
