Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 18, 2012

Never thought I’d say this, but I’m a bit jealous of these comic strip characters.

Rusty — I dunno…. their lives look like fun but everything falls a little flat.

Our lives are more well-rounded…. and multi-dimensional.

I don’t get the “deer” line. Lil’ help? Other than that, it looks like our girl is getting in the swing of things. Anchor in a secluded bay and work on some tans

@AshburnStadium So mice are first, dolphins second, how far down are humans?

Varnes: You come out of the cabin in the mountain and see…. oooooh… a deer! Look, Honey, a deer! Isn’t it marvelous? The deer of the sea, mister dolphin.

cue the deer was from the movie Funny Farm with chevy Chase, they were trying to sell there house in thebackwoods of ct they set up phony detail about the town people ect cue the deer. let see the cemetry bill me now

Fairportfan2 has it right, look at her stunned eyes, definately deer in the headlights. If you ever saw a deer up close looking into headlights you’d get it! LOL

I don’t think I’d be drinking coffee.

I don’t know if she’s scared of the dolphin but rather shocked it happened almost on cue as to a reply to her question of, “Should we buy the boat.”

Yes, dolphins are the second smartest form of life on the planet Earth, just after the mice. Read the book, don’t panic, 42.

Yeah, my bad, I thought that was the moon and Janis was talking about how things would look tomorrow.

I’d say Janis knows it’s a dolphin and she’s got the “wow how cute” look in her eyes. She was about ready to change her mind and then BAM she’s given another plus to having it great for impulse buyers

Janis seems suprised!

Yeah, he could have sold the “cue the deer” comment better, if she had hearts where her eyes should be, instead of that bugged out look.

LOL!! Whatta great strip day! I remember this happening to me once, and I had that same expression, followed by an “Ohhhhh!”

Thanks for the explanations, guys…..now I have a new expression I can use…..

Look at that! Flipper came to welcome them!

:)

Sun (moon?) reflection in water should be going straight down!

Funny how this [sorta] repeats years later in the current strip with a real deer
