Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 14, 2020

He’s not so little anymore.

Phew! That was close. This strip almost turned into “9 Chickweed Lane”!

Kiss-us interruptus.

NOBODY, DAD! =8^O

♬If you like making love at midnight♩

♪In the dunes on the cape♩

♪Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for♬

— Escape, Rupert Holmes

MAN CODE, DAD! Next time I will put a tie or sock at the top of the dune.

Air Kiss?

I always thought this little peek at Mary Lou’s childhood forwardness may have given us a clue as to why she’d already had Meg when she and Gene met up again as young adults.

“Well, now, who are you two making out?”

Any more questions as to why Gene is not around much these days? :-)

Interestingly, she may have been a little floozy, but having lived a not so easy life later on, she came full circle to this little boy and did marry him. Amazing how that works.

Way to go Dad!

This is so fun. One of my favorite arcs ever! Thank you Jimmy.

Oh, the stories I could tell …

The most ill-timed entrance Arlo ever made.

Arlo:“ Just WHAT the heck is going on here EXACTLY ?”

Gene: avoid fast women!

That third panel is so Chuck Jones! The drawing, the timing . .
