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.

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?

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

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.
