Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 15, 2014

?

You scream; I scream; we all scream for ice cream.

At first I thought he interrupted her ice cream, but now I think that they are both supposed to be on a diet, and he caused her to snack.

What no Fathetr’s Day cartoon; just the cat????

Sure it’s fathers day. Didn’t you notice that Gene and Arlo have the day off!!!

meoowlll, for all you dog people means “RIGHT NOW!!!!”

I’m sure that fetid smell of questionable meat and organ byproducts is the aroma of ambrosia to the cats, but my appetite goes south whenever I have to feed the roommate’s cat. How she can think of ice cream is a mystery to me.

no Dad’s day strip for Arlo or Gene. pathetic.

Actually, he may not be. Unlike dogs, a cat’s skin fits so loosely that it can turn around inside it to attack somebody holding their back; as the cat ages, it tends to hang looser on the bottom even if the cat’s the right weight. For a cat, that’s often just a sign of aging.

Eejits. Janis was sneaking ice cream, and the cat was tattling, until she bribed him…

Janis is eating ice cream with that huge serving spoon? No, no. And, who is she looking at while speaking? Is it the cat? Is it Arlo? Hard to tell. I cannot figure this out to my satisfaction, and don’t think any commenters have put their fingers on the answer. JJ is so darned enigmatic !!

WHAT IS FUNNY ABOUT THIS??

Oh … Janis and the cat are both supposed to be on diets? Maybe, but doesn’t seem typical of Janis.
