Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 17, 2018

Smart

Reminds me of the trauma when I discovered this pinching tradition in second grade. I was nearly black and blue until I found I had green stripes on my socks to ward off those stupid fingers.

“Erin Go Stick Your Head In A Vat of Corned Beef and Cabbage.”

Can someone explain this to a foreigner? Many thanks.

Needed to catch her before she got the towel.

“I have a lot of fond memories of St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago. Vague, but fond.” Joel Murray

Green beer anyone?

Calls for special St Pat’s Day strategy. Remove towel. Pinch away.

well, I tried. it’s supposed to be a four leaf clover.

Tried to drink Canada Dry,once.Won’t do that again ;(

A pinch would have led to a lot more fun – Janis the kill joy. And if Arlo would have been man enough to have just ripped off the green towel in panel 2 , panels 3 & 4 would have been a lot more interesting.

With the headdress, she’s ready for Purim too.

If you don’t wear green on St Pat ‘s Day, you get pinched, because you’re not Irish without a touch o’ the green. And everybody is NOT Irish on St. Pat ’s Day, they just act Irish, so they can eat corned beef and cabbage and drink Irish Coffee and whiskey (and green beer, which is awful any way you think of it! Give me Irish Coffee!!!)

One little tug on the towel….no more green….and plenty to pinch….right John Smith?

Hey, Janis! I don’t see any green on Arlo!!!!

@JAW JACKER: You miss the days when you could get away with sexual assault? The ladies must love you!

Actually blue is the color that was usually associated with Saint Patrick. These days I don’t recommend you pinch anyone despite the color they are wearing.
