Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 24, 2024

All I can say is JJ captured my wife and I. He had me at dark chocolate.

Tasty complaints

Looks like she’s having a hard time opening the bag. I can identify with that.

That is how she gets the candy.

We always have no trick or treaters because we live 1/4 mile down a gravel road. Every year I buy what we like.

She knows why.

Personal consumption?

Me! Me! I know why she sends him.

He got them for you, Janis!

My husband will send me off to the store “unsupervised” when he wants tasty snacks he wouldn’t normally purchase. One time, not knowing me shopping alone was code, I came home sans goodies. “But I sent you unsupervised just knowing you’d bring home something we didn’t need, snack-wise!” I think Janis must do the same when it’s time for Halloween candies.

And Arlo takes his job of eating the candy before it has a chance to spoil.

You had me at sea salted caramels.

Verily, methinks the damsel doth protest too much! Arlo, to make points, git them ezy-open bags!

2 bags of Hershey dark chocolate chunks with almonds. Never get any kids:)

Anybody else recall when Halloween was the only time you could buy ‘fun size’ candy. Eventually the manufacturers realized there exists there is a year-round appetite for them. After all, I am just going to have one or two…where did the bag of candy go!?!

Junk food junkie.

Oh my….you can’t tell me Janis doesn’t realize she asks Arlo to go out and get the candy every year(!) so he’ll buy such products in excess. When he does, she’ll pretend to be upset at him but will eat the candy so it doesn’t go to waste without feeling culpable herself.

Last year we bought a box of single serving salty snacks and didn’t get any kids. Then we noticed we had 30 bags of HOT stuff. Neither of us are really into hot, but my wife’s son house sat for us a few weeks later and he ate all of them in three days.

I know why you send him, you can’t wait to dig in….

Arlo be wise indian. He no talk to squaw. My Apology to Native Americans.

OK, but what did you get for the kids that do show up?

All those leftovers — so tempting…

“If my butt looks big in this, it’s your fault!” ☺

So there will be a little left for Halloween.
