Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 15, 2014
Transcript:
Arlo: Don't worry about any of that silly man-cave talk! Arlo: I don't want you to think for a minute I'd prefer some dank, dark corner to your company! Arlo: There's nothing I'd rather do than spend time with you, sweetie! Janis: I've been looking at some leather sofas! Very comfortable-looking and very masculine!

A man cave is not a dank corner where a guy can be alone. A real man cave is where guys gather to drink beer, discuss sports (hunting and fishing are sports) and watch sports on a giant TV.

It’s not a man cave. It’s an office!

We love our men, but us ladies like a little downtime also! We developed “man caves” for our guys to keep them happy & entertained while we do the same!

Leather couch? No. Sticky and really stains easily when things get sticky.

And in a dry climate like Phoenix, you have to use leather dressing on it constantly to keep it from cracking.

All these guys with their “man caves” have forgotten the original way to avoid the wife without leaving the house. Build a model railroad layout in the basement (or other spare room).

Nice furniture is great, but once you’re spending lots of money, then the expectation will be that you share it with the whole family…

Have had leather furniture for 14 years now. Hot and sticky? noooo that’s why you have a little discovery called (air conditioning) And sticky? simple, don’t drink soda and spill it on the couch plus keep the drinks on a end or coffee table. But they do have products that clean leather too. Hot leather is really only a discomfort in cars during summer specifically for people without or not using their garage. Also if it is a kid problem with leather getting mistreated food and drink wise it’s called discipline, drink and eat at the table.

Every “man cave” needs a woman’s touch.

Oh man, I totally get this. This happens to me all the time. I express something that I desire, in my complete self-interest, and hope that my wife will be accommodating, and I feel kind of guilty about it, and then not only does she not explicitly approve or disapprove, she finds some way to turn it into a shopping opportunity that she can get a kick out of. The next thing I know, “Oh look honey, I found a whole bunch of these [whatever I wanted] on sale!” Reading this strip is the best, I swear.

It’s the fake stuff that has all those negative features.
