Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 07, 2015

You’re d@#%ed if you don’t, and d@#%ed if you honey-do.

It’s all in the timing.

She must not have wanted it that badly, or else she could have done it herself (or paid for it). Anyway, she doesn’t seem angry – just surprised.

Anyone that has been married a long time will be saving a copy of this strip.

Clothes sun- and wind-dried on a clothesline just smell better. And sleeping on sheets dried outside – Ahhhh!

Good for hanging plants…

Make the line high enough. When I was a mere lad I (painfully) learned firsthand how the term “clothesline” came to be.

Happy Mother’s Day!

A man ought to be able to work on his honey-do list without his wife nagging him about it every six months.

Some of you remember the old “Watch out for the . . .” jokes?“Watch out for the clothesline!”“What clothes lye-yi-yi-yi-yi-yine?”

Starting now, what will she be wanting for 25 years?

And 20 years ago they bought a clothes dryer.

My ex accused me of being deaf….I told her to get my attention before talking….one night, she had a friend over…she was in the living room, and I was in the back of the house….she told her friend I was deaf….I yelled “I am not!!!”….her friend got a good laugh…the Mrs. did not!!!

The way Janis frequently becomes exasperated with Arlo makes one wonder if her question in the first panel should be “What are you doing on earth?”

Boy, wish I had one at this house! They save money, energy, and the clothes smell wonderful.
