Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 19, 2013

He is funny and has a good point

What a disguise a pair of glasses makes!!! :)

Who’s that guy in the fourth panel?

Yeah, who is that bespectacled man?

My favorite line from “Lois & Clark”: “What are you, GALACTICALLY stupid?? Hello!! DUH!! CLARK. KENT. IS. SUPERMAN!!!”

Wait…..Clark Kent is Superman?…….

All my illusions are shattered. Thanks for nothing!!!

(spoiler alert)… and Bruce Wayne is Spiderman? : P

Heck, I can’t even FIND my glasses if I take ’em off . . .

I kind of figured Arlo would only be wearing his corrective lenses while watching TV and staring at Janis getting undressed.

There was a scene in the 50s Superman tv show where Superman lost his memory trying to break up a meteor and when he somehow got home looking like Clark Kent, he collapsed Jimmy and Lois found him and put him to bed WITHOUT his glasses, yet they were talking to him like he was Clark Kent. All I could say was “HELLO?? DOESN’T HE LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ELSE TO YOU??”

um is Arlo losing it? who is he acting for? Janis ? the cat? his alter ego?

Is Janis Wonder Woman…?

I remember an episode of one of the Batman animated series where Bruce Wayne slyly commented that one superhero hid his identity with glasses alone. His protege just rolled his eyes in disbelief.

In one Superman issue it was revealed that Clark Kent’s glasses actually magnifies his subconscious desire to make people see Clark Kent as a different person from Superman. The idea was that it was a from of hynotism and the affect was magnified by the Kryptonian lenses in his glasses. I don’t see how something like that would actually work, but it does explain why no one sees Superman when they look at Clark Kent.

To Arianne, thanks for your kind words. Although this December makes three years, it is still hard to cope with Christmas.
