Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 22, 2016

Transcript:
Arlo: I'm a planet! Or a star, or a black hole!
Arlo: The bed is space!
Arlo: And THIS is gravity!
Janis: You want to try that on the sofa?
Arlo: The results would be the same!
This just about has to be a quicky strip ginned up by Jimmy in the last couple of days. It references the recent confirmed discovery of intense gravity waves caused by two intersecting black holes. The strip could be a total coincidence but I’m betting not.
Excellent, Arlo is demonstrating Gravity Waves in bed! At least I’m not the only one, however I might suggest a waterbed as a better canvas. After orbiting closer, eventually the masses unit, that is unless kicked out by the greater mass.
Exactamundo! Today’s mattresses can’t take that abuse. We had to replace a mattress because himself stood on the bed to change a lightbulb. Never again.

Just love panel three! Senseless or not. Just interesting drawing.

Arlo – Not quite the same. You would be the only occupant of the sofa. :)

I guess Arlo star is interacting with the bed mass, but it would be more interesting if he were interacting with the Janis heavenly body

Maybe a study in anti-gravity. Given Janis’ frigid demeanor any interaction in bed would be anti-climactic.

Houston, the probe has failed to achieve orbital insertion.

Definitely gravity waves. You can see the waves in the blanket in the third panel. The news broke 10 days ago.

I hope it is morning and not nighttime. No one could get to sleep with Arlo making such a racket. I’d tell him to go sleep on the couch too.
