No, it doesn’t look like Robin. I still do did the girl think Janis had a ball? Was Janis listening to a game on her iPhone? But why would that inspire an on-looker to tackle her?
After way too much thought, I think Janis is watching a football game on a portable device. She gets so into the game she starts running like the player she’s watching, onl to be tackled by someone who apparently was watching the defense.
Me, I so old I initially thought she was holding a radio. It took several minutes for me to realize I had the wrong device. It just never occurs to me that someone would choose to watch live sports on a 4" screen. If you’re out for a walk, set your DVR.
Yes, this strip is ludicrous. Perhaps it’s time for me to quit reading. She should not be watching anything while running since dozens of different accidents could result. This one is only confusing, not amusing.
I agree that they were both listening to the same football game and are rooting for oposite teams. I hope what happened doesn’t affect ‘fantasy’ football scores.
“…and as their eyes lock, Janis realizes this girl is in no hurry to let go…”
Concur. Love is in the air but hot rolling * is on the ground and as any sportscaster would yell “and it looks like she’s going to go all the way folks!”.

I didn’t realize Janis was into spectator sports.

And my first thought was that the girl with the headphones is Mary Lou. Maybe just all the wimmin in this strip look alike?

Looks like she has Janis right where she wants her.

Too much thought and not funny. Needs better setup or explanation.

Who gets so into a football game that they’d tackle a stranger? Idiotic.
