Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 01, 2011

That’s the old Arlo I knew….

And when they’re done they can come and repair my house!

Positive reinforcement has built a lot more empires than criticism!

Yay Arlo, way to help build a dream instead of busting a bubble.

It will be a labor of love. dd

Great story line! Would love to see Arlo out there with his tool box.

Arlo certainly has vision… though he may want to visit his optometrist.

Actually, @Fred Fred, Gene was quoting the Alfredo Linguini character from the movie “Ratatouille,” hence the quotes around the movie name when Arlo responds. “Ratatouille” is the movie that got Gene interested in the restaurant biz, per the 8/5/2009 strip.

… but it will take time, money, and work. Now, if Gene and Marylou want to put in the time and work, that’s great. but that place is gonna be a money pit as well. It needs everything. . On the other hand, if you can get it to where it’s fit to live in, you can spruce it up over time if the farm can make money.

Here comes the Yard Crashers and the DIY network !!!!1

I love Arlo’s optimism, especially in the state our country is in and our world, too. Go Arlo!

arlo is a good man and dad. very refreshing from the usual run of comic strip dads

Is Arlo starting to tear up, just a little?
