Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 05, 2020

Janis thinks Arlo is being rather Juvenal today.

(Not that unusual.)

Hand signal for a loose widget!

Insanity has its good points.

Doesn’t seem to be any danger.

Appropriate whenever the population needs distraction and comic relief.

Not koo-koo for Cocoa Puffs?

Must be watching the news.

Smoke and Mirrors

STERCVS PRO CEREBVS

I doubt that TV-Program has ever drawn attention outside the US (maybe Canada). It will probably be mysterious to anybody else in what way this is a joke.

With all the crap on the telly now I could use more toilet paper.

I actually got the Circus reference. Got lost when he asked for bread.

Because television is bread and circuses for today, both sad and funny.

I thought it apt.

I prefer popcorn with my circus watching.

We need to see Gene,and family.Keep up the great work ;)

It,s still relevant right now.

Also, “The Circus”, pretty good Showtime program.

I thought Arlo should have asked for peanuts, thx JJ for explanation

This one is brilliant! Arlo is trying to cheer himself up while making a comment about humanity’s need for physical sustenance and aesthetic pleasure. Well done.

Another A and J I don’t get. I don’t feel like reading through 71 comments to find out what it means. Onto other comics.

been saying that for the last few years AND especially the last few weeks – funny how history does repeat itself for those who don’t learn from history – humans do need to get over themselves and their thinking they are so smart when in all reality they fall for the same things/distractions from truth over and over again

Even with the timing the strip is accurate. When the ‘pandemic’ is resolved the temporarily distracted people will find the world is not the one they previously knew…

Thank you.
