Launch Date Announced 🚀 The brand-new GoComics will be unveiled April 1! (No fooling). See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I wish my school had an advanced figure drawing class. We had some great “figures”. All we had were art classes in making advertisements. Boring actually….
I made a personal contract that I will not be “friends” on FB with anyone I’ve had a romantic relationship with. (Except my significant other who is subsequently the love of my life.). I decide this from day one. It’s been a good choice all around.
It is OK for Janis to pose nude in art class and then contact one of the artists 30 years later. If Arlo tried that, Janis would kick him to the curb. Double standard. This is the second time a MALE classmate contacted Janis. At least she did not go see Lance…but she was tempted to.So Janis had no problem being nude in front of a room full of guys? We learn more about her every day.
After not hearing from her for 35 years, my first real high school girlfriend contacted me. For a year we emailed almost every week. At first there was nostalgia about the old days but soon the conversation was about what was going on now. Work, family, friends, etc.
Then one day in a short email she said her husband felt uncomfortable about our friendship and she stopped corresponding. I was disappointed but understood.
I have lost so many friends over the past, even a girlfriend of the past. But I think of the words of John Lennon In My Life…Though I know I’ll never lose affectionFor people and things that went beforeI know I’ll often stop and think about themIn my life I love you more….and so to my wife and my children and friends old and new, this lyric is for you.

I’m going to guess….no, you didn’t.
I’m thinking Arlo’s imagination is in overdrive now though.
Ahuehuete over 4 years ago
Perhaps she can show Arlo some of he sketches she posed for.
Ahuehuete over 4 years ago
Interesting how non of Arlo’s old flames ever try to contact him. Perhaps he doesn’t have any?

A new revelation from Janos’ past. She was pretty wild back in the day. And there was always Vince!

A model. A model. Boy, there’s an ambiguous term! The mind boggles!

I applied but they told me that there was no demand for the male Rubensesque form.

I’m…ashamed…at the conclusion I leaped to regarding Janis’ state of dress during art classes.

College – money’s tight – what would you do?

If this arc doesn’t turn into a visual flashback I’m going to be disappointed

Arlo actually thought he was roaming through unexplored territory?
Yakety Sax over 4 years ago
What an eye opener for Arlo.

Max has been hunting Janis down ever since college. “Friends”, yeah, right.

I imagine “very talented” means she liked how he drew her.
DawnQuinn1 over 4 years ago
I see trouble brewing.
snookdog69 over 4 years ago
Lets have a flashback to the class.
joefearsnothing over 4 years ago
Janis is ,only now, secure enough in their relationship to divulge this sort of information! :o]
MuddyUSA Premium Member over 4 years ago
Does Janis have a skeleton in the closet?

I married a pretty devorsee with 2 kids. I can’t really worry about what she did before she met me.

I don’t have old flames. Or new, for that matter. The wick won’t stand it any more.

Cincoflex over 4 years ago
Arlo’s wondering if he drew her like one of those French girls . . .
Thinkingblade over 4 years ago
If I had known that such classes were real … I might have tried to have more art electives in college!

Posed nude, did you Janis???
locake over 4 years ago
Why didn’t Maxwell contact Janis until now? He is not that interested in her.
Malcome1 over 4 years ago
Being as they met while in college, he should’ve known that.
Tyge over 4 years ago
Calling all A&J fans Where can I find more backstory/strips involving Vince?

Almost as awe-inspiring as finding your wife’s picture in an old Hustler magazine…
alexius23 over 4 years ago
And he thought that after all these years of marriage she couldn’t surprise anymore
dtercho over 4 years ago
probably wants to see her nude again.

We often forget Arlo and Janis’s origins
