Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 17, 2023

In typical male fashion, I think Arlo has painted himself into a corner, on a Saturday no less.

You won’t squeeze it out of him.

But of course

There’s always a literalist!

You’re enough.

Luddie.

A hug every day! It’s the only way!

Like guns and knives always keep a backup.

Arlo, Arlo, Arlo. Our phrases from the 70s do not always translate well to nowadays.

“I’m just a soul whose intentions are good! Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood…”

I miss my husband’s hugs.

She’s forgetting the step-granddaughter…

Secondary squeezes all have four legs.

Everybody should have auxiliary backup squeezes from time to time.

They’re really a cute couple. She’s obviously just teasing him a little :)

In third panel his right hand was drifting lower then he thought better of it!

Who waits in the wings for old men?

Life with a main squeeze and no secondary squeezes would be suffocating. I think the term for that situation is obsession.

Yes, orange juice, fresh squeezed every morning.

Janis really knows better…..it’s a tease!

Always that little bit of insecurity rears its head

There probably was one very early in your relationship…..

It’s emphasis Janis. He’s not making a distinction more of a underline with a yellow highlighter

More men and women need to be like this. So sweet.

I hug lots of people both male and female friends. But the wife is #1 for hugs.

OOPS, What Arlo really ment to say was “you are my ONLY squeeze”

Married for 30 years in a week. My wife has said if I have a second squeeze, she should take me in for a night or two so she doesn’t have to listen to me snore :P

Yes but since we haven’t seen Arlo at work, we never see her.

A word, Arlo — Drop the “MAIN”!

There’s at least Ludwig, and a little further in the past there also was Gene.

All squeezes are not created equal.

Uh oh.

Nope! You’re all of it!

A couple of years into our marriage (had known each other 2 years before started dating and dated for about 8 years before getting married) husband became “friendly” with someone he worked with – my biggest concerned was that her boyfriend would find out and hurt him. All these decades later (married over 40 years – November 50 years since first date) we see her twice a year at a multiday reenactment event and another event at a place she volunteers. We are still friendly and I will let him know she is there in case he wants to say hello. It is in the past – she was/is a nice person – so it is no big deal (okay it is an annual reminder to him of what he considers “a stupid thing to have done” .
