Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 29, 2022

She’ll get revenge for the sincere question

Arlo, no change in diet, no change in weight, will die soon, because Janis is going to flip out on him.

Arlo, your timing to ask is awful.

“Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun”. And, it seems, so does Janis.

In panel three she looks like something from a zombie movie.

Don’t tell her she looks hot. You would lose points.

Uh-oh! Or like Scooby Doo would say, “RUH-ROH!

I walked my dog 2,384 miles last year, this year we are just shy of 1,100 miles. At least according to mapmyrun.com. But man, for the last week with the temps in the upper 90s and low 100’s thanks to the climate change SUV and Truck owners have amplified, the total mileage has been 0.

If you exercise you’re going to build muscle mass and weight, but at least the weight will be moved to more attractive places.

I hear that Richard Simmons has a new sound track that would be perfect for Janis.

Sweatin’ for the Oldies

This comic needs a fourth panel today…

We’re all doomed when we believe exercise will cause weight loss.

This is why I listen to books on tape while walking.

Welcome to the age when it seems like one’s metabolism is actually going in reverse.

Normally, when it’s hot during the day I’ll open the house up in the morning (like 4:30 a.m.), but it’s too hot out to bother. Three more days of this, then “normal” August weather for a week, then hot again. I don’t think we will get much out of the garden this year.

I’ve wondered that very same thing.

what does enjoy mean in this day and age anymore?

Walking doesn’t burn that many calories. If Janis were looking to lose weight, she needs to do actives that gets her heart rate up, such as jogging or aerobics.

Lately, Arlo and Janis ‘toons have been boring!

Walking is fun, we do it at the zoo which is about 2 miles from us. They have a program where folks can come in prior to opening while they are setting up and feeding so you can walk the trails, not breath fumes and mostly shaded. Also it is a perfect 3 miles. Perfect for the wife and I. Added bonus, they have water and bathrooms.

Janis, if it is that hot, you need to slow down, and carry some water. Heat exhaustion kills a lot of old folks like us every year.

I walk every day in all kinds of weather, and I always enjoy it.

Of course, I am also a pathological masochist.

No all female jury would convict Janice if she killed Arlo after that remark

Yes. Yes she did.

Some days it’s just better to change your routine….

she hasnt the good sense to go early in the morning?

The more you age, the more you do what you have to do, not what you want to do.

Yes. Walking seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring and HeII.

looks like he needs a bigggg hug

I walk outside every day (in FL) but I know which paths have shade and walk there. In the winter it is not hot and humid so I walk on sidewalks in full sun.

Maybe you either need to walk at night or swim.

Eat right, exercise, and die anyway.

Never lost much weight walking but boy did it lower my bloodpressure!

This is why I walk at night.

To a degree, a person can get used to some heat. I went from the East, to being stationed in Louisiana… kind of a huge temperature difference, but, I persisted, and managed to run every other day, on my days off. Of course, I also spent the rest of the day in the apartment complex pool, but, that made the run worth it. I have to say, though, I was totally rung out, when I got home.

Get a treadmill and listen to music or watch a good movie at the same time.

Janis has never looked better. No, seriously.
