Similar situation once. We were on the train heading back to our place one night, and the train was at a local stop. This lady was standing in her window, trying to lower a shade (?), saw us looking out the train window. She jumped down so quick!
Pro tip: If caught naked in a situation like this (as we’re supposed to imagine Janis was, due to censorship rules and such like), do not jump down or cover your privates. Cover your face. They haven’t had a chance yet to look at your face, because that’s not what attracted their attention, and if you do that, they won’t be able to identify you later, even if they’re using their cameras.
I was on The Canadian, VIA Rail’s train from Toronto to Vancouver some years back. I sleep commando, and had a compartment. Woke up about 2AM in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan while the train was stopped at a crossing, with (despite the hour) car headlights shining on…my rear end through the very large window. I called it “moon over Saskatoon.”
I was a banker on the gulf coast, loaned money to homebulders. Rockport TX had several new Canal Lot subdivisions built South of town. The most expensive lots ($400M) fronted the bay. Loaned on a super nice three story house. This was a shallow water bay for miles. But the intercoastal waterway cut through it and came in close to shore near the house, although it was invisible (just s deeper place). This meant occasional barge traffic. Master bedroom and bath on the third floor, glass wall facing the bay. First night in the house the very attractive 40 year old blonde showered and walked naked into her dark bedroom. Suddenly she was standing facing a powerful spotlight and a train horn was blowing. A big tug pushing a chain of barges was right outside her window, about 75 feet away. The tug cockpit high up and dead level with her bedroom. 4 or 5 guys shouting and waving. I asked her what she did. She said she waved back and smiled.

Wish it was in color. The shade of red would be stunning.

Shrimp boats? I know we had this discussion a few weeks ago, but this has to be the Gulf Coast.

JJ, tell the truth. This is based upon some personal experience of which you are aware – right?

Not Shrimpy anymore.

I’d guess the shrimpers would love for Janis to move to the condo.

So…they’re not moving to the condo then?

Good thing they learned this in the third panel, before they ‘got involved’.

I guess this ends the speculation about A&J coming to live in the condo.

Could be some of the same guys Janis “flirted” with when she was waiting tables… ☺

Around here the condos are farther inland from the docks. Hurricanes seem to have a bearing on location of condos.

At least she didn’t walk from her bath to the balcony.

Arlo’s grin in panel 1 says it all.

BUSTED! Poor, shy Janis! It’s impossible to not love her and Arlo is always so friendly.

Too bad… from the talk, she was leading up to something nice for both Arlo AND Her.

Wonder if they recognised the seasonal waitress from the café?
