Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 17, 2025

Maybe not but it appears Arlo has made his move and is now behind Janis. Go figure.

Same principles apply as say..  you car runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere

and she is no girl scout.

I don’t think he needs any light. He must be used to working in the dark.

Janis always has her phone. Use the flashlight.

Arlo is quick?

If you have your cellphone, you have a flashlight

Flashlight: A device used to illuminate an exhibitionist in the dark.

He’s got the headlamps at the charging station, right?

in situations like this remind spouse cellphone has flashlight built in.

Like I said yesterday: “ You would think that a woman in her 60’s, with a life time of experience behind her, would not be rattled by a winter storm”

My thought is, “Where is Luddy? At the top of the stairs? Whoopsie, Arlo!”

I always keep flashlight on my nightstand. Always.

Love makes you blind. Wich means you have to feel your way around.

Uh… Use your phone maybe???

They’ve lived in that house for how long and he can’t find his way downstairs to where the flashlight is in the dark?

Arlo doing his Astro the dog from The Jetson’s imitation in panel 2. Or possibly Scooby-Doo…

Some things are better in the dark. Leaving the flashlight downstairs was part of Arlo’s preparation.

I have two flashlights on my key-chain, a USB-Rechargeable one and a smaller, less powerful one with batteries. I have one in my bedroom and three out in the living area. The first one I use is the one that has a built-in battery and always stays in an outlet. If the power stays off by the time that one is out of juice, then the external battery one. I also have one of those that give you a short “light-time” after you shake it…

The cells don’t have one?

I have a friend who keeps flashlights almost within arm’s length everywhere in her house. (goes back to living by a lake where power outages were common)

I have an old school flashlight on my side of the room. Also a newer LED headlamp and SWMBO has a small promo LED flashlight on her side. Two bigger flashlights (Rigid and Makita downstairs. A small old school mini light behind the sink on the window ledge in the kitchen. probably more, but that gets us through the night.

I am on my honorto do my bestto help pretty “girlscouts”all undress!

If you’re looking for adventure of a new and different kindAnd you come across a Girl Scout who is similarly inclinedDon’t be nervous, don’t be flustered, don’t be scaredBe prepared! (Tom Lehrer)

love the scooby do reference

Poor Arlo,,,,,,,

Every level in my house has a flashlight. And a step stool.

One flashlight? Definitely not prepared…

I, on the other hand, am (as my mother insisted it was pronounced) an Iggle Scout: Candles in the bedroom, living room & kitchen, oil lamp in the study, flashlights on the bedside table, in the bedroom closet, in the study, in the living room, in the kitchen, on the landing by the back door, at the bottom of the basement steps, on my workbench, in the garage, in the car………

Which by no means means I’m not moving like Arlo.

Did you forget about your ubiquitous cell phone? Flashlight Eagle scout!

Time to go to bed. Find the flashlight when it is light outside.
