The kids are on their own, loving their work. Save the advice, Janis. They are doing just fine!

The question “who are those guys?” is NOT answered by going to “arloandjanis.com”. That page just asks two more questions: “Guess which archive you think it’s in?” and “Do you feel lucky, punk?”.

I was at A&J.com just before I came here, and yes, it does explain the coast folks for newcomers.

But it doesn’t answer why Gene’s hair is now yellow. Did I miss something?

When I checked a few hours ago, the back story wasn’t posted yet…
But it is now… and you can get there via the website link above, to the lower right of today’s strip.It basically tells new readers who Gene and Mary Lou are…but it also answers a couple of questions some people debate in this forum.
What I want to know is, though…to whom is Mary Lou sending that tweet?In the next panel she tells Gene in person.
I guess maybe she’s inviting the public cos the fellow with the guitar case has agreed to play music…but did she just decide to sell burgers, too?Did they ever build the little bistro?

She is sending out a tweet to the farm’s twitter followers.

Hmm… I was thinking the backstory was going to be about “#rockthetomatoes Burgerz” … meaning the rock fellow. Not about Luann, Gene, and Gus.

An outdoor venue for music and some food? Great idea. Liquor license next…..a little wine, cheese etc.

And so continues our semi-annual peek into the lives of Gene, Mary Lou and Meg! I wonder what Mary Lou’s Pop is doing now that he’s sold the restaurant….

Tweets are broadcast, not narrowcast. That tweet went to everyone. (Everyone that would listen, that is.)

Check again! I had no trouble getting there! I know who the characters are, but went to see what Jimmy had posted.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member over 8 years ago
Thanks Jimmy! I knew who everyone was but didn’t know about your site! Been reading your strip for a few years now! :-) If my memory serves me correctly, didn’t you start out at Comics.com I think it was called and then Universal bought them out and brought them here to gocomics??

So she is doing some kind of Social Media thing? I thought she was reading something that the musician handed her.

Slight problem with picking the coast of your choice. In one episode, Gene almost talked Mary Lou into a ‘3 hour drive’ to Tennessee to get married.SO, your coast of choice has to be within a 3 hours drive of Tennessee.
