Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 12, 2023

Well done JJ. Kind of a twist on breaking the 4th wall.

Nothing quite like comic strip characters who know they’re in a comic.

At least they still have speech balloons so they can know what the others are saying.

Go with the flow?

But you were dancing to the tune in MY head!

Hello, maintenance?

Yea, we’re going to need a dry waller up here… Yea, J.J’s broke the 4th wall again…

Tomorrow?… I understand, hope that won’t affect the strip.

Given their ages, I wonder what they’re dancing to. I hope it’s not Captain and Tennile.

Sedaka is back! La La La laaaaa!

My wife and I were in a convenience store one Morning a few years back, the music inside was from a clerk’s radio, “Louisiana Saturday Night”. Well we just grabbed each other and started dancing through the song until it was over. The young girl behind the counter was laughing when we got to the counter. She said “I wish my husband would dance with me like that to music out of nowhere.” My wife said “What music? We’ve been married almost twenty years and make our own.” Boy don’t that make a man feel good.

Get Down Tonight…KC and the Sunshine Band

The important thing is you just gotta dance sometimes. Even if it is only in your heart…

Staying alive, staying alive.

Fourth wall issues…

I thought they were telling each other jokes.

I hear that a lot.

There was a song playing?

Prelude to another type of dance???

I love these moments that we get to see of them :)

Music? I thought it was mime class.

well, yes. But I don’t think we’d understand what song is being played. :J

Are they doing the Teem Twist???? >

Love A&J

Yes Janis….he does at the wrong times……….

I’ll sometimes make a face that should be accompanied by a string of symbols over my head. One example would be when I am behind a person at the drive-up ATM who, at that moment, decided to pursue an online degree in personal banking.

If it’s not about Ludwig, it’s rarely worth reading.

Arlo likes breaking that 4th wall

The music is playing in Overboard! Louie is dancing in the leaves!

Or song lyrics instead. I’m picturing “Brown Eyed Girl”, Jimmy Buffett version.

It was clear to me that they were dancing to some music.

How about “Are you ready?” by Pacific Gas & Electric.
