Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 24, 2023

Bow-chicka-wow-wow.

A chip off the old block Arlo.

“Who you calling an old bag?”

By the time you are Gene’s age, you know exactly what your dad’s next line will be.

Great minds move in like channels … You’ve trained him well, Arlo, my man!

Just where is this “low country” where Gene and Mary Lou live?

So this is their son and wife. I thought they were friends.

Marty Feldman comes to mind.

Heh. He may think like dad, but until now and the new hairstyle I hadn’t noticed how much Gene looks like his mother.

“Freshen up”?? Maybe pour a toddy?

When I lived in South Carolina, I was in the southern part of the state called “the low country”. Drove through the swamp to work everyday for half an hour. About 60 miles from the coast as the crow flies.

Well there goes Arlo’s after nap.

There’s a bit of spanish moss in the first picture so I think Jesse is right about South Carolina.

I just don’t get the cartoon. Any help?

“Freshen up” — is that what they’re calling it now? ;)

And now that we’ve tried to settle the geographic question, did nobody but me notice Arlo’s less that graceful attempt to get Janis to the Condo and Gene’s obviously putting a stop to his dad’s horny intentions?

Wait. Maybe I’m wrong, but I wonder if the kids have an ulterior for inviting the old folks. Could it be a pregnancy reveal?

Speaking of the old folks, it seems that Pop is aging faster and much worse than A&J.

I got a feeling this is going to be a GREAT week for A & J!

Arlo’s already feeling randy, and he hasn’t even gotten to the condo.

Arlo loves the condo idea…..

the four Cs Clarity, Carat, Condominium and Condom

How did Janis shirt and hair color change so quickly???

Is it me, or is Gene’s hair being drawn a lot more like his Mom’s? Creepy if you ask me.

I don’t get this one? Why are they so against them settling into the condo?

Where do Arlo and Janis live?

I think Gene knows his father’s predilections all too well.

Looks like Gene has grown Janis’ head of hair.

TooT Toot… honest to God, a one track mind.

A good track mind you, but one track none-the-less.

Numerous comments about resemblances. But to appreciate the genius of the artist and the spell he has woven, look carefully at the characters. Eyes with diameters about one third of the face. Ears about half the size of the head. Hair which bends every which way and someone has a half moon jutting out of his forehead. Noses which are either a 200 watt light bulb sticking out of the face, or, a mature pig’s snout. And so on.

If you encountered this on the street, you would have to conclude that UFOs have landed.

Like father like son
