Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 24, 2014

Transcript:
Janis: What are you doing?
Arlo: Just looking at you!
Janis: Well, stop! You're tryin gto annoy me!
Arlo: I am not!
Janis: I never stare at you!
Arlo: Yeah, why is that?
this is twice in the last week youâve attacked Janis. I simply donât understand. Granted, theyâre comic characters, but part of their appeal is the reality of the relationship. Possibly because Arlo and Janis remind me so much of me and my wife, I find myself taking offense. I love my wife more than life itself. Sheâs not perfect, although sheâs damned close, but lord knows neither am I. Arlo loves her. That is all that matters.
I sometimes catch my husband just looking at me and I ask him why also. He gives me the same answer as Arlo, which I consider a compliment sometimes. As far as me looking at him, I do look at him but I donât stare at him, the stare is what is so annoying. Janice does secretly enjoys it, (see panel 3).
Give it up, Arlo. You ought to know by now that, no matter how hard you look, you canât see through flannel. .(But if you close your eyes and concentrate, you can see paradise by the dashboard light.)
I will sometimes wake up and find my husband propped up on one elbow, looking at me. âWhat are you doing?â âWatching you breathe. Do you know youâre beautiful?â

Yeah! And why is it that Janis never makes up some excuse to enter the bathroom when Arlo is bathing?

I think it has to do more with guys tending to visual arousal more. Now Janis, donât you ever sniff his shirts ;)

i believe the smirk on her face in panel 3, shows sheâs amusedâŠnot offended.

Janis doesnât stare at Arlo because she is always thinking of her âold friend from high schoolâ on Facebook she meets up with.

I wish I had a man who liked to look at me. Mine just stares at his computer screens.

Theyâve been married long enough to know each otherâs quirks. Janice is a little too defensive when it comes to âsexualityâ.
