Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 21, 2020

Don’t worry, Arlo – she thinks all the same things about you, too.

Go ahead. Buy the diet cat food. See if he eats it.

Love the shocked look on Ludvig when he realises she’s talking about him.

Nothing but cat food would certainly help me lose weight.

Ok Arlo let’s see what kind activity she’s ready for tonight before she thinks the same thing about you.

Dodged a major bullet there, Arlo. Now get outside and work some of that dessert from last night off.

Arlo ~ make your own dinner tonight or you’re getting diet cat food. And on Father’s day yet!

I would not put it past Janis to do that.

It COULD be Arlo that Janis may put on a “cat diet”

We have two slightly over-weight dogs and one skinny one. The over-weight ones both had some hungry times as strays.

Sadly we often kill our pets with love. (excess food)

If Janis’ attention turns then go deep into the response files, Arlo.

It’s genetic.

I have hypothyroidism.

It’s the only other thing I have that makes me happy.

I was never loved as a child but food always loved me as I loved it.

I was traumatized in my impressionable youth by a documentary about famine.

I want to exercise but it’s those darn bone spurs acting up.

I’m just trying to make myself look undesirable so all of those other women will leave me be.

(Nuclear Option) Does that A line skirt you bought last year still fit?

Cat cartoons are the best ! Thank you buddy.

“He spends all day lying around, licking himself.”

My Ex has ballooned the last few months. She still walks, etc. Must be eat inf her anxiety.

I resemble those remarks. 8^ (

I thought Janis was talking about me since Ive been home. Looking thru the window again.

I love how Luddie recognizes the words ‘cat food’ but not ‘diet’

I love the look on the cat’s face in the last panel.

Off subject of this theme….I’m surprised Jimmy didn’t do a special Father’s Day edition including Gene and the family. At least that’s what I expected. This one is spot on for our current situation. I’ve gained enough weight during this I’m having to shop online for spring/summer clothes even though I have plenty in my regular size. Sheesh!

This strip provides me more LPW (laughs per week) then any other. Thank you Jimmy Johnson!

Yes just feed him less of it.

What? No Father’s Day calls from the kids? I noticed that most of the comics did not mention the significance of today.

Arlo: Me? Oh, Thank God. Ludwig: What???

I knew where this was going… lol

Cat food… well, I’ve heard they’re pretty good, baked in a nice cream sauce.

My poor feral boy is not getting anywhere near the exercise he was getting, but since I found out cats can get the virus, I’ve kept him in. I don’t know if they have the same reaction to it that humans have had, but I figure better safe. The other (much older) cats are really taking a beating because of his frustration.

I don’t understand why/how people are gaining weight.

I have lost 14 lbs since we started sheltering in place in March. I had to take in husband’s jeans 2 inches due to his weight loss since then also.

Oh Loodie, better you than me.
