Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 14, 2022

Nothing wrong with a little exposition to get us along to the good stuff.

Enter the “Wingman”, not gender specific.

Oh Boy! Here we go with one of Jimmy’s special story arcs. 8^ )

Do I see art paraphernalia on the floor. Maybe Arlo will talk Janice into posing for him. Woo Hoo!

Don’t know if I care for the stache.

Now we get to see an even more idealistic Arlo and a more promiscuous Janis. It should be interesting to see each one’s hopes and dreams for the future.

She needs a pack horse for her art supplies?

Huh? Uh, what?!? Who is doing this strip today?. Sounds like Arlo.

Jimmy’s got the ’70’s clothes down!

My freshman college year was 1971-72. I must have enjoyed it because I don’t remember much of it.

This seems good and Arlo looks great with mustaches.

I love it! a story set in the 70s I was 12 in 75

“A big public university, circa 1975” Hold fast mates, we are in for a yarn!

How old are Janis and Arlo supposed to be?! Wouldn’t this have them pushing 70?

This is going to be big!

This is the timelime where Janis poses nude for the art class.

For those who have wondered, this clarifies the approx age of A&J. They have aged well.

Aaahh……now to settle in for a real bodice-ripper !

My college bookstore’s art supplies always came at a hefty premium.

Holden Hall, MSU, 1972…

Glancing at that first frame, I thought Arlo had finally gone over the edge and was strangling Janis.

Finally. Something fresh.

It’s about time for Jimmy to post one of his March “God’s Own Blooming Idiot” verses. Maybe it’ll be here.

This looks like it will be a fun story arc.

Gosh, I had a smock top exactly like Cassie’s in 1975 — at which time I was already in grad school. So I’m older than Janis! (eek?)

Sitcom College 101.

And so it begins…..

RIP Howard Hesseman! I loved that show and especially him. And Venus Flytrap.

As an old farmer commented to me when I tried a beard, “Why cultivate on your face what grows wild on your butt?” (He didn’t say “butt.”)

Jimmy has been following our comments and knows that many of us will love this storyline. We may even have given him the idea.
