Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 15, 2023

No one appreciates a wise guy

Arlo is a walking encyclopedia of useless practical knowledge. However, his last tidbit might cause one to question his sources.

She seemed rather interested in the International fetish day.

January is also the month for Lee-Jackson Day…if you’re a southerner.

This IS the day that Wikipedia went online (Jan 15 2001)

So when is give up on your resolutions day?

January 20 is International Fetish Day? Well, c’mon over, take your shoes off and stay a while. (I apologize for that. I’m going through a hard time. I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!)

I can’t wait to see the strip on 1/20. An early vote for Janis wearing leather knee high boots

i think someone’s favorite fetish is coming up next week

Why is her hair so dark all of sudden?

I think the last two speech bubbles are out of sync.

Why is there no mention of Martin Luther King’s birthday?

Perhaps Janis is named for January

If, the present weather in east Russia reaches the USA. January will be represented by a shivering polar bear.

He forgot to mention Lunar New Year.

Following up on our focus on the second to last panel, a true fetish involves an external object, not part of the physical body. We will now open the discussion as to what in this case that external object may be.

We need a god for gates and doors???

Oh, so Friday is International Fetish Day. Not National Fetish Day. Our congress would never promote the kinky stuff. They’d do it. Just not promote it.

Janus also gave his name to doorkeepers, whose job often included sweeping up, and are now best known for cleaning the entire building – janitors.

To answer Janis’ question, I think he just told you — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January

Wiki and Google are among my best friends.

Okay, get me the high heels, Playboy bunny suit, and bullwhip. Just remember you brought on YOURSELF!!

(Not really into fetishes myself.)

Wikipedia.

I am a Capricorn and my favorite gem is the garnet of which I have several. Also, my favorite flower is the carnation. Seems like I was born under the right sign!

One can only guess.

He gets it from Wikipedia. Probably fails to donate, also.

If I had only known…. We were married on Friday January 20 1989 which, in looking back, I see was the third Friday in January. Now that I know this and our anniversary falls on the third Friday in January this year, we’ll have to see what we can come up with!

Sounds like maybe he made up half of it…

3 guesses, & the 1st 2 don’t count! ;)

I’m honoring January, drinking hot tea while reading the comics.

Jimmy Johnson, you misspelled “consistency”…better go back to NFL coaching…

Where does Arlo get all this basically useless information?

Hello? National Peanut Butter Day on January 24th! Who will be celebrating?

The greatest number of sociopaths are also born in January. If caught doing something strange in front of her, my wife would mention that to me with a worried look on her face and then walk away shaking her head. Honestly, I don’t know why she never left me. /S

When in doubt, focus on Fetish Friday..

And why would anybody really even care?…..

So he is planning tub time with Janis and just letting her know.

It pays to read.

For the fetish day, do you simply do your usual ones or do you try something you just found out about?

Jabber-walkie?

He searches giggle…

From Wikipedia, of course.
