Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 23, 2016
Transcript:
Arlo: This is the time of year we would shop for your new bathing suit! Janis: 'We'? Arlo: I always thought of it as a mutual interest! I miss it! Janis: I still buy bathing suits, you know! Arlo: But it isn't the same. Arlo: I mean the suits - they're not the same!

No longer as proud of showing off her body.The same thing happened to me.Either that or my since of aesthetics finally kicked in.

It’s the same for guys…..As Red Green would say….Men over 40 shouldn’t take of their shirts…It scares the animals confuses the children….

good save Arlo – but we never get to see you in a pair of budgie smugglers!

I see that Arlo had the good sense to realize what he just said, & is groping for a save.

@DHG—-Do you think that the chill we had down here last night was the last final bite of Winter?

After a certain age one REALLY develops an appreciation for Jerry Seinfeld’s “good naked/bad naked” routine.

“bathing suit” always drove me nuts. It dates back to Victorian days when people entered the surf fully clothed. Nowadays, people wear “swim suits” if that.

He will still find her sexy.

I took his “not the same” comment to mean that she doesn’t ask for his opinion or even invite him along. She buys a suit for her body issues, he wants a suit for the lovely, sexy woman he still sees her as.

I read it the same way @ArcherJade did – that she isn’t trying on suits and letting him watch, but buying online.

I have a vague recollection of Janis actually modeling suits for Arlo way, way back. I find her total disgust at her body’s current condition aggravating, especially since Arlo still shows a lot — a lot — of interest in it. Arlo’s support and encouragement have no impact upon her. Is this happening at your house, JJ?

Janis still has a hot bod and Arlo knows it.

Remember that Janis is a creation of the cartoonist, not a real person. To me it is sad that our cartoonist has this idea that women are like that. Not all women are like that! Lots of us enjoy our sexiness and like our husbands to comment on it. We can respond to his interest wholeheartedly.

What K M said has much wisdom.
