Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 13, 2014

No, Arlo, the “hole” you just dug yourself.

Janis could design a man-cage for him!

“Women have the rest of the house”

This, gents, is but one reason to not get married. Remember: what’s yours is hers and what’s hers is HERS. Never forget that.

I’m single, what’s mine is mine…..Hold the whine…..

Ah marriage , In 28 years there is not a single week that I do not regret . That single week she was visiting her ailing mother . Bada -bing .

I think he’s going to be keeping out of her way whether he gets his man-cave or not.

Arlo, you ought to be glad Janis didn’t drop the “r” in “your” and substitute “ass” for “man”. ):

Arlo’s man cave is rapidly turning into a dog house.

Rudy would like a cat house…..

The rest of the house is shared, not hers.

Same thing. In German, cave is Höhle.

He should have gone for a “naked room.” There would have been fewer repercussions. And perhaps a more interesting response.

He has time for a “man cave” but no time for the boat he bought from Gus?

I told my the exact same thing Arlo told Janis in the second panel!!!! You have the entire house to decorate, redecorate, and rearrange however you want. Me? All I want is one stinking room to call my own!

After my wife died I thought I’d bring in some man cave-type stuff: books to read and a used X-box. But the realities of keeping house AND still working at a job tells me that it’s impossible, at least until I retire. The man cave concept is a glorified man’s hidey-hole.

A man’s home is his garage.

After cleaning, cooking, shopping, folding, she wants to be able to seat with the man she loves, not seat all alone while the man, well fed, with clean clothes, will go lock himself in his clean den and play with his toys while his wife waits for him.

Her feelings are hurt that there is ever a time when Arlo would want to be away from her even if only in the next room.Poor Janis.Poor Arlo.

My beloved never wanted me away from her unless she had something better to do.It isn’t logical, but neither isSTOP RIGHT THERE

Isn’t just what we used to call way back when a ‘DEN’?

And now, in 2021, “she sheds” are a thriving business for builders…. HA!
