Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 14, 2014

Janis — we can’t be out of money we still have all these checks……

Need more money in your checking account? Just write a check and deposit it. Voila instant money! Works for the Fed.

Save the Post Office, stop online bill pay!!!

I do my part for the Postal Service I just use cashier checks instead of personal ones. My financial institution offers them for free as a perk.

Don’t like the instant payment for service, lights, gas etc..We still write checks, never have trusted the I-net for my personal transactions..But I do buy nearly everything with my Discover card...Have a bunch of bonus dollars I just don’t use, yet.

Arlo has that right. I have never finished a conversation with a anesthetist.

When exactly did “online” become one word? The internet is ruining the langugage.

If that’s not a joke, the statement is daft. Do some research and you’ll find that that is a normal orthographic process that’s been going on since we had any idea of ‘correct spelling’…

For Janis, instead of writing out checks, writing out envelopes and looking for stamps, walking out to the mailbox, now she just pushes a couple of buttons—-painless!.For Arlo, he has to go to work (he does have a job doesn’t he?) and earn the money for Janis to spend—-like major surgery!

This begs the question, what does Arlo do for a living? Mr. J.J. after having followed your strip for 20 years I believe I have a right to know

Actually Arlo, Major Surgery is painless. The pain comes during the recovery period. :(And regarding the evolving language. I believe it was in an episode of “The Outer Limits”, where a future soldier somehow travels back in time to “our” time and, for a while, his speech can’t be understood until they figure out that he is shortening words and phrases.

A cashectomy.

I don’t trust the internet either, considering how much computer breaches have been in the news lately. Old fashioned bill paying through snail mail works fine for me.

gaebie and @Flossie MudduckIf you go back to the arc of last week, both have jobs, her co-workers husband had a heart attack and Arlo has mentioned his views on his job in the past. Although they did not clearly say what either do.

funny I wrote first check in nearly 3 years the other week and just written second today – no worries about transferring lots of money to wrong account

…amputation of wallet.

Jimmy Johnson did a poignant series about Arlo at work some years ago, where he reflects on his friendship with a co-worker. Nothing happens, but it was a realistically written series, and very interesting to read. Sorry, no idea when these ran.

Amen.

I wish this “cat hating poophole” would quit reading and commenting on this comic. Sounds angry, evil and a typical “if it gets in the humans way it must DIE.”
