Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 24, 2021

Out of the mouths of babes…

Now that hurts.

A Stroh’s Red Bull?

Looks like Stevie is more into microbrewery IPA’s these days. And for some people in the strip, maybe time marches on more linearly ; )

I hate it when the neighbors say that!

Git, ya young whippersnapper!!

Ooooo, the kiss of death.

The circle of life

Arlo should’ve said Monster or Starbucks. I noticed a lot of Gen Z like those choices. Red Bull is what Millennials used to drink back when we were in college.

Has Stevie been in the strip before? Yesterday Arlo starts to say “This is the guy …”

Ouch!

Arlo to Stevie: “Get off my lawn!”

Neither one should look a gift horse in the mouth.

So Arlo is down some dignity rather than being down cash. Debt settled.

What a extraordinary young man.

This is why I just do $#x+ myself.

I remember when my wife and I moved into the neighborhood. We were the new young couple in the old house with the two cats and funny dog. Now we are the older couple next door.

Hopefully you can return the favor someday……

What’s wrong with a Red Bull? Old fashioned or something?

Old age happens when you don’t die.

Say What? By the time us OFs learn a new expression, its’s been replaced and all we get is blank looks.

Ow. I know the boy meant well, but you can see how hurt Arlo is.

Youth culture has passed you by, Arlo, and you are on the way to invisibility.

Does Arlo not realize he has a grown son who is married, a wife who has been aging and discusses that with her, and that he himself is considered older? Is this a guy thing? He even notices that the cat is getting older. I think it’s a little wise to be a bit more self aware. I don’t think he is in his 50s, I think he is more like early 60’s or even mid 60’s. They are both retired.

We old dudes tend to be that way.

What’s so funny? In their teens my sons would have killed for a Red Bull.
