Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 14, 2020

Let him go. He will come back when he finds nothing is normal.

Well, on the plus side there is some evidence that sunlight kills the corona virus.

What goes around, Janis. What goes around…

With that attitude I’m surprised Arlo has no hat, no sunglasses, but is wearing short pants and a short sleeve shirt outside.

…and she rolls the top down, juuuust a bit further!

How is she going to avoid tan lines when she lies on her stomach? There’s no hook on the back of her bra. To paraphrase the Queen of Hearts – Off with her top!

Arlo is turning into a Karen…

Ahhh yes! The School of Marriage where the husband blithely enrolls but never understands that he will be perpetually a couple of credits short of graduating.

I know how Janis feels. We all wish life would get back to ‘normal’. Arlo should cut her some slack.

Looks to me that Janis might have put on a few pounds since the stay at home order has been in place!

Is turnabout not fair play? Oh, and since when is Arlo like a 14 year-old who just “went down looking”?

I’m with others in the comments – this is “un-Arlo” behavior. Perhaps he is off his meds? I’m worried! Intervention may be indicated.

top is drooping could get exciting Arlo will miss it

I think Arlo needs to get a life. What is he mad about?

I think Arlo is true to his character. For many years he has been cautioning or outright against Janis sunbathing. And for as many years Janis has done as she pleases, but frequently trying to tan on the sly and not get caught.

I think This is a new twist in Janis’ character. Her Outright flagrant “I don’t give a damn” attitude brought on by the current situation is unlike her normal sneaky tanning behavior. Bring it out in the open! In flagrante! Absalom had nothing on her!

I got WAY too much sun when I was a kid, but who knew?

Sexy Janis!

hmm, the top is wandering lower.

It’s all in the tone …FINE!

Is turning down her top just blurring the lines?

These comments reflect the complete lack of knowledge we have about this bug and the confusion about the little knowledge that we do have. I think drinking bleach is probably not a good idea, and I doubt that sunlight is going to have much effect on a virus already inside my cells, but we just don’t know. The only thing that I feel pretty sure about is that I’m wearing a mask and glasses if I have to be anywhere within sight of another human, and I’m going to stay away from them as much as I possibly can. My goal in life is just to survive until election day.

He’ll be back… as Cabana Boy! ☺

It’s not as though being outside is dangerous, in terms of covid. The virus is not raining down or blown on the wind.

“Fine!” is the female “F” word.

In high school, an errant tee shot landed in a backyard adjoining the fairway. When I stepped through the hedge to retrieve it, I found an attractive woman sunbathing topless on a lounge chair, my ball sitting in the shade beneath her chair. So, I quietly stepped back onto the golf course, filed away the memory, and left my golf ball behind.

Great eyes in panel three! Giving us the death stare.

The big question here is why is Arlo upset? With our age and bodies neither my wife or myself should be exposing much of ourselves but I wouldn’t pitch a fit if she decided to get some sun.

In Australia and New Zealand it’s called sun cancer for a reason.

Arlo is probably more concern with Janis giving up than with her getting the tan. If one of strips characters had the virus then it might be understandable

I don’t get Arlo’s attitude, as much as drools over her body I would think he laying next to her, slobbering under an umbrella.

Janis needs to recline the recliner totally flat…otherwise she’ll soon have a horizontal white wrinkle stripe amidships.

…she thought proudly.

I wonder why the censors don’t like this comment. It is the truth. Before I accept any more lies from the World Health Organization I will trust dad, who is an expert in disease, right here in the US and not some crony for China. Or, I will listen to my wife, also doctor, how about my sister, nephew, niece, two cousins, brother-in-law. I could go on, but you get the idea. Dad says that sunlight does kill the virus and he leaves his masks in the sunlight for two hours to kill the virus. He has been doing this during the outbreak, along with the rest of my family, and they are all doing well. Sunlight does kill the virus, taking vitamin D at 5000 iu seems to prevent it, washing your hands properly works well, and now, not too sure, gargling with mouthwash seems to prevent the infection. But don’t use WHO to back up your claims, especially since the true figure of illness in China is roughly 640K people, and deaths around 64K.

Hands in pocket is a sign of resistance!

I think Janis is getting some satisfaction that Arlo is mimicking a common response of hers.
