Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 07, 2014

Bromance=Friendship. Get with the culture program Pops.

I wonder if Pop will talk his daughter down from jumping back into the food business so soon.

I guess the place isn’t sold yet… too bad the younger generation can’t have their new restaurant there.

But… one of those O. Henry-ish things… they need some money from the sale of that one to start one somewhere else…

It’s OK, anyway… they want an intimate bistro, and I think Mary Lou wants to be away from the shore, hard as that is to imagine…and Gus needs a retirement fund.

Meanwhile… @Observer…to me “bromance” is more than friendship…it’s like a little “man-crush," but without homosexual overtones.

Sold, haven’t gone to closing yet, more than friends with a respect added to the equation, it’ll be months because she wants to go to Paris to get ideas. That should cover it.

Oh, and did anyone notice that Mary Lou is starting to dress like Janis? Mother figure maybe?

He’s still at the Dock?…

geez – i hope this strip doesn’t go the way of Funky Winkerbean

Yep, in “Bromance,” there’s some adoration involved. Thus the “rhymes with ‘romance’” bit.

I’m curious as to what the word would be for two female close relationships….sisterhood, sismance,…come on help me here…or is there such a word for just a simple best friends forever cliche’ for us women?

@Spent HenI thought it was just BFF; best female friend.
