    They don’t want to affect the “body lines” on women. So no pockets!

    I’m amazed Arlo had any tissues with him, but, he does have a markedly feminine nature.

    I’ll bet he never stuck a used germy, gooey tissue in her purse. She’d freak!

    Always walk one step behind – it keeps you in the panel but doesn’t block a character.

    I never buy anything without pockets—mainly for just this reason. I have allergies year-round and always need a supply of tissues nearby.

    Arlo walks behind because he’s not as ardent a walker as Janis; more of a stroller. Besides, the view is better.

    I do tai chi and martial arts. I stuff it up my sleeve. Very handy because my various costumes do not have pockets, but they do have long sleeves with bands at the wrist, so tissue does not fall out. One arm for clean tissue, the other for used tissue. Works!

    Womens clothes dont have pockets because the designers believe that any bulk would affect the lines of their product. Aint no woman in the world is going to carry stuff in those skinny jeans pockets except a cell phone sticking sexily out the rear.

    I have a fleece scarf with pockets on each end. When I take the dog for a walk I put my keys in one pocket and lock my purse in the car.

    Typical female: does not know how to say “Please” and expects her male to do whatever she requires. Demanding women!!!! meh

    They’d do great in the new Winter Olympic event. The Tissue Relay Race.

    For Pete’s sake, I want pockets. I’m 67 years old, “fluffy” and need to carry stuff.even when I don’t have my purse. Janis should be wearing a jacket. They haven’t eliminated pockets from women’s jackets yet have they?

    Many women would love pockets, the designers just assume we don’t want them. Much of women’s clothing is ridiculous – uncomfortably designed, nonfunctional, and binding. It has nothing to do with what a large swath of the female population actually wants to wear.

    BWAHAHAHA When we were first married I carried a big black bag. Beautiful leather. “Put this in your purse.” Became a tradition, till I made him carry it once. I have a bad back, have since childhood (fall down a flight of stairs). He apologized. I have a lovely gentleman of a husband. And, yes, he usually has tissues if I run out…we both need them. (And putting characters in line that way makes them easier to draw, and show features for your viewing pleasure!)

    Women’s pants have tiny “pretend pockets” that you can barely put anything in. Maybe because they often carry purses. That’s probably why men tend to be fond of cargo pants; purse substitute!

    What could it be Arlo was hiding in her purse?… Back in the day.

    I usually tuck a tissue in my waistband for the inevitable runny nose that strikes in a cold, AC environment like a store. One day I noticed a couple of security guys eying me. I pulled out the snotty tissue to see if they were still interested. I think not.
