Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 15, 2019

Granny panties?

No… I think the punchline centers around wiping better and using bleach.

Maybe they’re not hers.

I think she means the good news is the tops bigger – the bad news? So’s the bottom!

The classic hourglass-figure-but-the-sands-shifted. The good news is, I don’t see Arlo complaining.

The bad news is for Arlo. He pines for the days of thongs. For Janis the bad news will depends.

Looks like the elastic has given up.

What’s in them?

Even worse, tainted granny panties, necessitating a whole new wash for the rest?

Did she expect a string bikini?

The dreaded period panties?

Women always seem to think they look the worst when I think they look the best.

The worst of all the colors are not white like they are supposed to be.

Does anyone else sort the laundry out of the basket first before folding and putting away? I find this technique improves efficiency as you don’t wind up with 20+ piles of different categories taking up all of the folding and flattening space. Plus, you can put some completed categories away part way through and create more space.

We shouldn’t have to guess as to the meaning of a comic. Jimmy Johnson has lost a reader.

I took it that she saw her own drawers as bigger than she wants to admit fit her. Bad news for her.

poop stain?

I read this as her thinking that her underwear is too big.

Another cryptic A&J strip. Jokes are not funny when they have to be explained.

Couldn’t get the skid-marks out?

Well…I didn’t get it on first sight either. Thanks to many ho did, I re-read…then I laughed! Who hasn’t.??? Life is full of stains..and other things.

JJ please take note – all of your readers are struggling to make sense of your comic. 25 comments, 25 different suggestions.

My baby’s got back

not bad news: just slip out of them :)

Granny panties can be slid over and not removed for certain things.

Too gross.

What’s the yellow thing in panel 2?
