Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 22, 2018

I predict lots of leering comments, lol.

Nice save, Arlo.

Mess away Arlo.

“leering comments”? I’d say it’s a sweet moment.

Will she or won’t she give permission to “mess up”. Only her fifth panel knows.

That was a comment that could have ended in a night in heaven or the garage.

Love the way Jimmy puts just the hint of a boob above Janis’ nighty in panels 2 and 3.

He says the damnedest things to butter up a gal.

Janis is used to Arlo’s ability to get his tongue tangled in his eye teeth, so he can’t watch what he’s saying!!!

Oh, ow. I wouldn’t get any change to say a thing after that gradma comment. Have to sleep next night UNDER the sofa.

Looks to me like that little black nightie has already gone away in the last panel.

Same here!

Deliberately flirting with disaster just so he could pull off a good save.

pretty sure that will be gone before it gets mussed up.

Try. Use your teeth.

May flocks of angels sing thee to thy sleep. But first………..

Now Janis is a gift worth unwrapping!!

When Arlo trips up with an unguarded comment he has this uncanny ability to land on his feet!

Janis! Coming to bed dressed like that; little black nightgown, lip rouge and hair just so. Lawsie me, you’re a scandal to the jay birds. (Said in a Scarlett O’Hara accent.] ;o)

Now there’s a quote with perfect timing and expertly played.

“I am not your grandmother…”

Very smooth, Arlo!

Normally one-off strips aren’t my favorites, but A&J’s sweet romantic moments are always an exception.

Arlo my friend, in this instance the gift should be treated like a Christmas gift and you should immediately rip off the wrapping and start playing with the gift for all you’re worth. After all Christmas only comes once a year. Well, maybe twice if you’re lucky enough to get invited to a Christmas in July celebration. (but don’t shake the gift first, unless you’re absolutely sure she’s into that kind of thing)

The Mrs has something like that. Maybe I’ll cut and paste this into an e-mail for her.

My husband used to say “take that silly red thing off.” :’D

Totally not about sex.

It looks a lost like her swim dress…
