    C’mon, Janis! You should have said (to Arlo): " … had to borrow $40 from a… kind guy". Look at the face of the weird hippie in the last panel! :D

    I remember that one. Father’s Day. We just had sons so I could relate.

    I remember college in the 70s. In the spring I sat down for an art history final when a girl sat next to me dressed like Janis. Not as skinny – Long hair, short shorts, and revealing halter top. Lost all concentration but somehow passed with a 90. We has lunch after the exam – I have no idea what I ordered. She agreed to go out to the movies next week. I picked her up at her apartment that warm spring evening wondering what she would wear. A nice but conservative dress that almost reached her knees.

    When I was a college kid, I always wondered why they were called “halter tops.” To my well-trained eye, it didn’t look as if they halted much of anything.

    Love the cut off shorts and the tie on halter top. Jimmy nailed the ‘period’ clothing. Janis is a real cutie! He can still ask her out for pizza.

    Janis physically grows in stature from P1 to P4.

    during the early 70s I was in southeast asia, still in my teens and the dating scene was nothing like A&J. more of a financial transaction than any romance. closest I can get is the scene in FMJ just after the basic training where Joker and Rafterman are make a deal.

    I knew a woman whose parents offered a new stereo if she didn’t marry her husband. They offered her a much better deal than what she chose.

    By this recall and hippies, this would have be around 1970 give or take 5 years. Makes you them around 70ish.

    This is a bit of an anachronism. There were no electronic transfers in 1970.

    Is that one of those big heavy long-arm paper cutters? They made them in gray? My dad’s was green, with a 1×1″ grid on the top so you could measure what you were cutting. It could go through quite a few pages if you were strong enough.

    Janis is a genius. She traveled back in time, payed off her debt, and thus didn’t have to interact with loser Arlo and she married the College quarterback.
