    Love the light bulb moment in panel three.

    I am not purposefully being a dunce here, but I do not “get” where the Pitt/Jolie reference came from:

    .

    What I mean is….how is Arlo saying “I’d have to knock on your door.” logically lead to Janis replying with her “is that you, Brad?” comment…. especially with such wide-open eyes?

    .

    Perhaps if Arlo had been shown to knock on something, perhaps the side table or the headboard while he was talking to Janis… then her reply would make a little bit more sense to me…. she would be replying in jest, suggesting that Pitt had been her secret amore.

    .

    And then, even in my above scenario, how does that get to Arlo having some sort of fling with Jolie? There is something I guess I am missing about this interplay that is confusing to me. To me, it almost reads more like they are both aiming for a “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” moment.

    So who will Janis be? Jennifer Anniston?

    Jennifer would have been my choice — Angelina looks way to much like my old school chum (boy) to get me excited!

    No. There is absolutely no romantic notion about separate bedrooms. I can’t imagine ever sleeping away from my spouse.

    I regard the separate bedrooms thing as an upper class mostly European thing. If you read old novels, it was not uncommon for married upper class people to have separate bedrooms.

    I would have to go with panel 2 – Janis is channeling Janet (and FrankNFurter) from “the Rocky Horror Picture Show”. Panel 3 – Arlo does not want to be FrankNFurter, so …. Panel 4 – he changes the conversation so that he is Brad Pitt.
