Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 22, 2024

I’m guessing it’s Payback Time.

Sssnakes????

I think in their location, maybe hungry gators?

The child is the parent now…

It may help to whistle the theme to the NBC Mystery Movie series.

ahhh, He is playing Dad to his Dad. I have had my middle Son do that to me and all I said was “Thanks” when I was really thinking “I have done this so many times I no longer need to think about it. Good thing he does.”

Agree.

Time to go home.

Well heck, of course, it’s the South. Like Australia, we learn to live with the critters and avoid them.

Flashlight? Arlo doesn’t have a cell phone? What decade is this supposed to be taking place in?

Looks like Arlo is wearing a collared button down shirt while his son is wearing a t shirt

“Pretend that you’re a locomotive with a Mars headlight.”

I like Gene’s “soft sell.”

Welcome to my home. You’ll grow to love the neighbors. Just check your bed, shoes, clothes, lawn chair, ……..

Lawyers ;-)

I feel like either scary organ music or a laugh track should be dropped in at the end of the last panel.

Bears, feral cats, pumas, giant squid, the possibilities are endless!

Hell, why doesn’t Gene just push his dad in a wheelchair?

Skunk crossing ahead…

Foreshadowing of things to come?

The student has become the teacher. :-)

Is Arlo that clumsy…or old?

There was a nearly full moon this weekend. It prevented me from seeing stars I might have seen in a remote location.

And alligators.

No…the dreaded Palmetto Bug. The dinosaur of cockroaches.

God bless ya, Jimmy, half the time I don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Maybe Gene’s messing with him…

Gators?

Disconcerting to be parented by your child, isn’t it Arlo?

Grandson graduated high school yesterday. Daughter broke her leg the day before. Bad combination of steps and a hyper kitty. So, she’s went to the graduation ceremony on crutches!

Go home Arlo where you’re safe from nature.

alligators

yep, you get old and they think your senile, or forgetful or fragile…..although the flashlight is a good idea.

“Serpentine!”

Stomp your feet to scare away the snakes. I went to a nature park with two friends who were terrified of snakes, so I told them to stomp their feet to scare them away. The two of them barreled along, making as much noise an Army battalion, which I brought up the rear. They caught on pretty quick, when one of them turned around and saw me laughing so hard I could barely stand.

And if you see anything that looks like an alligator, it probably is.

Snipe hunt next.
