Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 27, 2016

Is that 2 or 3 points?

think what she would have said if he had missed.

Typical. Just something else to criticize.

Considering all the guys here who jump on non-existent nuance….

I’m surprised I’m the only one (so far) who sees any innuendo in this strip.

I think Arlo is waiting for a cheer from his cheerleader…

@SusanSunshine – oh, yeah, I went there ;)

I seem to remember somewhere back in my memory banks that there was a baseball player who said that “Nice guys finish last.”

She just wanted the opportunity to block his shot.

Arlo’s just suggesting…..“In the Can, Janis…..In the Can…..”

The grin on Arlo’s face shows he “Gets” it.double entendre – a word or phrase open to two interpretations, one of which is usually risqué or indecent.I vote for risque.

And here I thought this was more a commentary on how Janis is willing to overlook the bad manners of a napkin tossed basketball style into the trash from several feet if it weren’t for the fact that we’re getting sick and tired of waiters trying to clear the dinner table before anybody has finished their food.

Um, as a side note, just how is Janis holding her fork?

Does anyone else sense that this strip is in decline?

We have that problem at all-you-can-eat buffets. One of us has to guard the food while the other goes back for some little tidbit. We are both depression babies and don’t like to waste food, so we find “you can go get more” both patronizing and irresponsible.

A lady wouldn’t have mentioned it…

As I said, we are both depression babies. About the only “food” left on the plates are bones and other inedibles like shrimp exoskeletons.
