Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 17, 2021

Oh, oh, more wild Janis college days.

I know Arlo is talking beads but I’m not sure about Janis.

Ka-Bam!!

Wild Janis

OK.Either:1. Arlo didn’t stock up enough beads.2. Janis was pretty wild in college.

Also, which year was that Janis, Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior or Senior?

Everyone has a past.

You had a bigger audience, then.

Her comment was a better eye-opener than his coffee…

In college, Janis said ‘yes’ to life! So many beads.

Oh, my! She must have been quite wild!

TMI for Arlo.

Didn’t we all Janis, didn’t we all.

Janis was the kind of girl in college who would not given me a second glance. She would have been way out of my league.

Let the girls out to play!!

Janis? Wipe the foo-foo dust from your eyes. It’s the 21 Century and you’re ratting yourself out to your roommate at the breakfast table …

Goodness!

I guess things were looking up during those college days.

for those unfamiliar with Mardis Gras traditions, young ladies are rewarded for “flashing their boobs” with additional strands of beads.

Did she get them from the students in the life drawing class?

another good reason to leave the excess of the vintage alone – one does things one would never do if not for the influence of the fermented grape. and the ghost of Mardi Gras’s past will haunt you once a year with its hangover.

Hahahaha!!! Me, too.

Never ask anybody with an expression like that if they ever enjoyed anything.

She was a handful back then. A double handful.

I have no idea what they’re talking about

You were perkier then, too!

@Da’Dad – You nailed it!

Titillating.

Well, be fair, there were more men in college…

ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ

soooooo…. is everyone saying that to get more beads, all a girl/woman has to do it to show her ta-tas???

There is still an episode of Girls Gone Wild, from the 80s, floating around that stars Janis.

One night some friends and I went a little further down Burbon Street than we should have. My friend saw a lot of people on the balcony and they throwing beads at couples who would show. After my friend “MOONED” them, they yelled they would throw us all beads to get him back up Burbon Street.

Janis is opening a can of worms here that should never have been opened.

Love Arlo giving us the eye in panel three.

Gotta try this at our home. Wonder if Mrs. Baker likes beads.

Looks like someone got rode hard and put away wet.

She looks hung over!

One thing I do wonder here, is where Janis went to college. I don’t think this bead thing is prevalent most places. I never heard of it until I worked in a Texas photo lab, and was printing Mardi Gras pictures from tourists.

…ouch…

Was she in College Girls Gone Wild: New Orleans?

Whoa ! Janis is spilling the beads.

Rode hard, put away wet.

Now why does Janis look like she didn’t finish her sleep?

Clearly, Arlo’s homemade hurricane drinks pack quite a punch.

Having gone to Mardi Gras in the late 90s a few things: 1) Beads, and very fancy ones, are currency. 2) Don’t drink so much that you have to use a port-a-potty on the parade routes (my friends learned that the hardest way). 3) It is just my opinion, but I suspect the flashing of the ta-tas has diminished in the age of smartphones and uploads to the internet which is understandable. A brief moment of wild abandon need not be lived forever.

oh give her some more beads

I looked at the Bourbon Street webcam last night. There were 3 cars (that I could see) parked there, and nobody else at all. I suspect the cars were unmarked police cars, enforcing the ban on revelers. Other nights this week, including tonight, there are a few couples and very small groups and singles wondering the street, wearing warm clothes. Yep, it’s been cold there, too.

Larger pool

Burn!
