For a moment, because of the comic a few days ago about all the Christmas trees he’d seen, I was worried it was Ludwig she found. But he was safe and alive on the bed yesterday.
I’ll put my marker on a dark horse candidate: mongo plumbing problem. My guess is driven by the ease of making it a week long thing and that it took a while for the problem to come to light. It would also gain poignancy from Arlo still needing to use the bathroom.
I dis that same scream 25 years ago after doing #2 and seeing the bowl filled with blood. Cancer in the intestine was leaking. Surgery a couple of days later took out a foot and a half, just in case, and I’ve been good ever since. It was quite the shock!
One time when we were in Biloxi Mississippi (and much younger than now), my wife stepped into the bathroom in her nightgown. Moments later, the shriek. Seems a large waterbug (common on the coast) had dropped off the ceiling and right down the middle front of her nighty. She still laughs as I had nothing one and I came running with my hands protecting “the boys”.
What was the line from Steel Magnolias? – The difference between a gentleman and a non-gentleman is a gentleman removes the dishes from the sink before he pees in it.

That wasn’t a trivial scream! I think this is the first cliffhanger that JJ has used on us since Meg fell off the pier.

Arlo must have left the seat up.

Not a creature was stirring. . .except for that mouse starring at me in the bathroom

And Arlo’s floating teeth are no longer a problem.

Now I wonder, what is is she saw? A mouse? A spider? Snake? Gray hair?

It’s the odd modern home that has only one loo. Of course, Arlo, there is the great outdoors.

Panel 4, where Arlo realises it’s not all about him.

For students of serial movies shorts, here we have a “cliff hanger,” see you here tomorrow for — ARGH! It got me.

Arlo! You gotta flush those “catfish” down! They’ll mix with the TP and clog the toilet!

She went first and he’s waiting. So it must not be a raised seat thing. I loved the ghost story Jimmy did years ago.

They live in the south… so my guess I snake in the toilet. Not unheard of!

Did she not look before sitting? And the seat was up? Been there, done that.
