Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 14, 2015

Does this woman work for the FBI, or what?

I’d say, “Nice save, Janis!”, but there is no way to save that one….You can’t unsay some things…..

Would she have acted if he hadn’t been transferred or did it just come out wrong?

Janis needs to be careful what she says, if Robin is unhappy in her marriage, she just might use that tidbit against Janis to try and drive a wedge between she and Arlo

Wonderful facial expressions.

Nice save.! Hope there NOT a flag on the play.

Maybe Arlo will get the “something different for Christmas” that Janis mentioned a year or two ago.

I looked up the definition of minx and found it very interesting.

Hoping Arlo isn’t over heading this conservation….

According to JJ’s blog, Vince was a regular guest of the strip in the spring of 1993. Unfortunately, the archives here at GoComics only go back to May of 1994. I think these three strips taken from the blog give us a good idea of Janis and Vince’s relationship:

StrodWait… Vince looks a lot like the adult version of Gene… oooooohhhh kaaaaaay…..

Temptation is only human. Not acting on it is the key.

Are these two women drunk?

“She’s so into Arlo that it’s hopeless for me. I’m requesting a transfer to end the torture of being near my impossible dream.”

Ever wonder what the spouse did before you met and when you were not looking…?

There was also an arc where Arlo realized he’d gotten fond of a co-worker…and waxed philosophical about how different his life might have been. Wonderful, complex stuff for a newspaper comic. Thanks, Jimmy!

Interesting layers, indeed. The ladies must’ve had a full measure of “social lubricant”: They’re sitting on the floor in front of the couch. Nice mark of real comfortable friendship there.

Good investigative reporting, Strod! I thought the name Vince sounded familiar.

I hope Arlo isn’t behind the couch, playing with Ludwig!

Similar situations occurred involving Arlo and Fay, at the company where where they both worked.

That meant she had the hot’s for him but didn’t get the chance to dance

Vince, hunh? What was the name of Arlo’s Office Wife?

“Hey, hey! It’s Faye!”
