Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 12, 2024

Life is full. Cue the music.

My husband and I do this every night watching tv.

Arlo may, but I don’t know what she means.

He’s just taking it slow.

No sex.

Missing the cues is my great failing.

Sometimes being in the moment is all that is necessary.

Another for the Arlo Page.

That hand moved a little from the first panel.

I don’t know what she means. Romance? Time for popcorn? Change the cat litter?

Watch that right hand of yours Arlo …

Moments like this are what I miss most now that my wife is gone — the “companionable silence” of just being together. Nothing to do, nothing that needs to be done, just be.

Excuse me, I just got an idea for a Pluggers panel.

We do not have a couch. My wife talks about getting one, but the only place we could put one has her recliner and art table in it.

One of the things I miss about being single. Romance.

I hear Happy Together by The Turtles.

cue ‘As Time Goes By’

Is there another definition of Romantic? Seems pretty obvious to me what it means.

“Snore”

We have a couch but we have separate recliners. Problem with this is it has the ability to quickly knock me out.

I don’t know romance, but I do know innocent snuggling, and I love it.

you’d better!

Many romantic moments start on the couch…………..

Some things can just go unsaid. But women say them anyway because men don’t have a clue.

Isn’t it romantic?Music in the night, a dream that can be heardIsn’t it romantic?Moving shadows write the oldest magic wordI hear the breezes playing in the trees aboveWhile all the world is saying you were meant for loveIsn’t it romanticMerely to be young on such a night as this?Isn’t it romantic?Every note that’s sung is like a lover’s kissSweet symbols in the moonlightDo you mean that I will fall in love perchance?Isn’t it romance?

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]Sweet symbols in the moonlightDo you mean that I will fall in love perchance?Isn’t it romantic?Isn’t it romance?

And you’re still sitting there, with clothes on??

She just had to ruin the moment. I am sure Arlo knows after all these years what are and what aren’t signals for his perfect ending for a " romantic evening"

WOAH, how did that hand placement get in the strip? Little “sleight of hand” going their Jimmy? Disclaimer: This strip has been rated “R” by CARA, though I can’t quite put my finger on why….
