Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 18, 2021

Janis is the betting pro. She’s murder on the over-under too.Probably picked up enough for a nice sweater. 8^ )

So she picked Penn State over Arlo’s Auburn Tigers? ;-)

Her bookie knows how interesting. He should. He’s paying her.

Retirement in Hawaii, here they come! She bet the house on it.

That is an evil look on Janis in panel three.

Looks like she made it very interesting!

For Bama fans, beating the spread is about all the excitement we have left.

And to think “Beating the spread” one time meant hanging it over a clothes line.

What does Janis and the Dalai Lama have in common? He also loves Tibet.

What does Arlo have in common with vampires? They both get nervous when the stakes are raised.

I’ll never understand this . . but that’s just me . .

War Eagle!

Well, she doesn’t have to do the Underwear Dance in the courthouse plaza …

I’ve only been able to go to a racetrack with my wife once. She bet $2 on all 8 races and she won money on all but one race. As a teen she was a horse fanatic and between being able to “read” a horse in the pre-parade ring and reading the racing sheet she was very accurate. The one race she didn’t win was because my goofy sister liked the name of one horse so they bet on that one.

phew, they get to keep the house…

Janis has a bookie?

She has a mighty big smile……

Back in the 1990s I worked in a factory (single mom – best money). The guys had a Superbowl Pool. This one year they decided to fleece the women by “letting” them in on it. I studied up a bit, placed my bet and won not only the final but the half time prizes. I used the money to get my teen daughter a prom dress, something she would have had to go without otherwise. I never minded the pissed off guys, they didn’t matter. She did.

That’s a couple grand level clapping right there.

Betting ruins my enjoyment of watching my team play.

Wake up, Arlo. She has a secret life.

Janis is too smart to put any real money on sports betting.

I hope.

“You know you are a fuddy-duddy when….” you tried betting once – Oreos in poker with your wife – and realized you didn’t like the stress. (True story!)

When the lottery came to Arizona and the jackpot reached $3 million my wife bought five tickets. I gave her a hard time about it and she said, “You wouldn’t give me a hard time if I won!” I replied, “Yes I would, for buying four losing tickets.”

Not to speak for Jimmy, but I imagine he is like me. So glad to see so much interest for Auburn. When you live in a State, where your looked down on, ridiculed, and badgered by Tide Fans no matter if you win or loose. War Eagle!

Ha ha ha … Janis reminds me of so much of my oldest sister, especially in a strip like today’s.

I know the feeling. Over the weekend at a HS football game I won the “split-the-pot” – $600. First time in my life I’ve ever won anything.

Apparently, more than just a little interesting!!
