Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 29, 2023

Take a hint ratchet jaw! 8^ )

“I don’t wanna!!”

A little less talk

If you please

A lot more loving

Is what I need

Let’s get on down

To the main attraction

With a little less talk

And a lot more action

Wow! Arlo is missing a major clue?

My wife and I sometimes have a similar conversation, but it’s about buying burial plots. ;-)

How about some pillow talk?

“Here we are and here we stay.” I had a retirement home in the country, vastly over-rated.

We’ve had the same conversation. My position is that I wouldn’t mind living somewhere else but I don’t want to move.

You’ll be SORRY

I think we like the idea of living somewhere else or taking a trip but don’t actually want to do it

In our family, I was the one who insisted we had to downsize. My husband was determined he wanted to spend the rest of his life in our 11-room 1830s farmhouse, which always needed repairs (we’d been there 45 years). I quietly cleaned out every closet, drawer, and cupboard, both attics, and got started on the garage and 2-story barn; he finally figured out what I was up to and got mad.

Moving to a new single-story home where I don’t have to tromp down cellar to heave logs into the wood furnace was rather motivating, and I did prevail. The process felt like dragging a two-ton cannonball behind me every step of the way. But within a few months of settling in, he had a major medical event, arrived at the hospital in 3 minutes instead of 30, and decide I’d been wise after all. ;)

Talk is cheap…..

Bow chicka wow wow…

Boy, is Janis EVER cranky lately. Nothing pleases her anymore. She is always negative about everything, yet she does have a point with this issue.

DO IT!!! At 62, 13 years ago, I moved to the beach and never looked back. You, too, may discover that you should have lived at the beach your entire life.

HubbaHubba…

They can’t move, all of their planting efforts would be lost (to them)

I like her thinking…..

Woo hoo! Arlo’s got himself ahold of a live one!

As a single person, I am not versed in ‘married talk’ as most of the commenters seem to be. So would someone please tell me what she DID mean?

Now I know why Arlo doesn’t have any male friends. They ,the imaginary friends, would tell him to dump Janis, life is to short.

Janice doesn’t want to move?

Reminds me of that song — from “My Fair Lady” — “Show Me!”

Well for maybe the first time ever, Jimmy has me anxious for the next strip! Cliffhanger!

Listen well Arlo. Could lead to a great night. Hope to find out Monday.

Must be nice to be so lucky.

Arlo’s a bit SLOW on the Hint… LOL
