Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 24, 2020

Amen, sister.

Wash?

(I used to do that…)

My hands are so clean now, I feel it’s alright to let the rest go a bit.

OCD hand washing doesn’t look so crazy now.

Wrong Arlo! that’s positive!

Funny, what you don’t think twice about.

Janis (aka JJ), as I refilled the feeders yesterday and then went to the sink I was thinking the exact same thing. Wait a minute! Is JJ monitoring what I am doing through my TV or refrigerator?

Personally I just pretend that I am auditioning for the role of Lady Macbeth by performing her “out Damn spot” speech.

Obviously no squirrels in this comic strip.

Alcohol can disinfect too. JW Black Label, please!

Remember the movie “1984”? Big Brother is watching you? Well he is.

Does Arlo ever do anything besides sit on his a$$ all day?

I think they are starting to lose it!

I’ll be sitting here typing at my nicely clean desk on my nicely cleaned keyboard with my nicely cleaned mouse and think, I need to go wash my hands. This isn’t a habit I’m going to break easily. Meanwhile, my husband is rather hurt that I clean my workstation every time he uses my, supposedly faster, computer.

Yes… and after gardening… I love gardening… my gloves… must wear gardening gloves… can’t be too careful… yess… washing… must wash… must wash… yesssssssss…

Janis is definitely showing the stress in Panel 4! Bless her heart…

Good for you,Janis.Avian flu is not as bad as Corona.Still have to be careful.I wash after filling feeders,too ;)

I don’t think I wash any more than before, maybe less because of “stay at home.” There are the usual reasons around the house, and when using door handles and such in public it is always necessary to wash up afterward because of colds, flu, hepatitis A…. When I worked out of an office building I needed lotion on my hands a few times a day to deal with all the washing.

Like disposing of that creepy man’s body that watches you?

I keep two bottles of liquid soap at my sink, one is an antiseptic soap and one is an aloe vera (gentle on the hands) soap. It’s nice to be able to use the aloe vera one when I am just washing my hands from normal yard or house dirt. Never used to have two bottles.

Birds aren’t social distancing. They’re hitting my birdfeeder hard.

I can relate, Janis.

Proper hand hygiene is something that should practices year round. It should be part of the elementary level curriculum.

Arlo: This is indeed grim – as in the original Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

It’s not grim, Arlo. It’s our reality.
