Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 21, 2023

It’s those warm ocean breezes, Janet. Those hot… humid… Gulf breezes… 8^ )

My fellow travelers, when you’re sure you understand women you haven’t begun yet.

At home, Janis manages their daily life and has to work against Arlo’s entropy and crankiness to get needed stuff done.

With Gene and Mary Lou, she’s seen as a vibrant, intelligent, capable woman who helps them talk through and achieve their goals. The locals enjoy flirting with her. She gets to relax and be herself. Confidence is sexy.

Arlo is shocked. He always feels that Janis is sexy. And Arlo feels that he is the reason that Janis is not feeling sexy?

Dare I say? Take advantage of this Arlo.

A condo overlooking the ocean, here in SW Florida all I can think of is hurricane season… Irma was scary and Ian was devastating.

Arlo should spice it up a little by giving her more attention, compliment her more, make her feel more loved…you know how to do that…or do you?!

This is too close to home to even think it’s funny…

No more shrimp boat visits, I take it?

Arlo thinks of his wife as I think of mine. He can even borrow my line when I tell her that her Hot Light is always on.

Because she’s always sexy to him, eh?

Hey Arlo, Janis’ nightgown is diaphanous, even if it can’t be drawn that way! Bring your A-game, old man!

so many cranky men and women this morning. I think this says it all. Arlo simply sees Janis as he always has, time has changed nothing for him. of course it does depend on what he says/ does next- a little verbal reassurance or a tender hug/…..

Arlo has become a dunce……

He will pay…

Arlo is PERMANENTLY desireous of Janis. You must be new here if you think he isn’t. His comment is misleading. Her comment in the third panel is foreign to him. She is ALWAYS sexy in his heart, eyes and mind.

Are they close enough for Arlo to get a toe up behind Janis’ knee for a tickle? No words required.

I can’t remember the last time you LOOKED sexy.

“You know full well and I’ve told you many a time: you are always sexy to me.”

If Janis can’t remember the last time she’s felt sexy it sure hasn’t been from lack of effort on Arlo’s part!

this whole strip is so wholesomely thirsty.

Come on Arlo, you’re the one who is trying to initiate the act. Go with the flow.

Arlo’s a keeper. <3

JJ has addressed the difference between being sexy to your partner and feeling sexy. Of course Arlo desires Janis, but feeling sexy can only come from within despite how your partner feels. Janis has become more confident over the years, lets hope she continues her growth and accepts her innate sexual being.

Maybe a little more communication?

Just for once he ain’t baying.

Just for once he ain’t buying.

You’ve always been sexy to him…..

Those who say that Arlo does not pay attention to Janis, does not romance her, does not desire her…have obviously not been reading this comment for very long. Arlo is the Casanova of comics. He is ALWAYS doing those thing youu claim he doesn’t. He also knows she does not like it ALL the time, so he picks the place and time to do so. He is a total romantic and Janis knows he still is crazy in love with her, and desires her tremendously.

Should draw the eyes better
