I have to laugh at today’s strip…..it really does hit close to home. It’s kind of like knowing you shouldn’t eat that last piece of cake, but you eat it anyway!
A bit difficult to decipher in the fourth frame but I think I got JJ’s intent. What does one do when they are not exactly lying but are not sincere either?
There’s no straight talk. She/He talks out of the other side of his mouth.
Yesterday, I was assuming that Janis was thinking about Gene, and that this was just a segue to a Gene-and-Marylou storyline. Now it seems a lot more ominous.
We are about to discover the difference between what Arlo is HOPING she’s thinking and what she’s ACTUALLY thinking. Men are very predictable, women much less so.

I don’t think Arlo (or the rest of us) will ever know the real truth.

He says sheepishly. Meanwhile, he is thinking “Oh, crap. What have I gotten myself into?”

Bump on a log? Bump on a log? That’s how you start an argument, not a conversation. Did he turn the toilet paper roll the wrong way again?

What’s wrong with Arlo’s mouth in the last frame? That white thing?

He does NOT want to know what she is thinking. She is always so negative these days. A real Debbie Downer.

No you really don’t Arlo

Danger, Will Robinson…in the same class as “does this make me look fat” and other marital pit traps.

I think Arlo knows that he will eventually hear about it anyway, but this way, at least he scores some positive points… ☺

My husband never asks me what I am thinking. I don’t talk to him any more than I have to. Fortunately I have 2 daughters to talk to.
