Arlo and Janis, part 2
Beyond the hilarity of the titty-ogling in the final panel (which is as hilarious as the the silent penultimate panel’s “c’mon, whaddya say to an old-fashioned gang-bang”), isn’t this woman married? With a kid? Since like the 1980s?
Wikipedia has an interesting piece on A&J, confirming what Live By Foma contends: it’s a smutty strip.
Arlo and Janis are still both sexually active and completely besotten with each other; the libidinous undertones of the strip, which can sometimes be surprisingly overt to readers used to the sanitized feel of other newspaper comics, are an ongoing feature of the strip.
Indeed.
Which brings me back to Wikipedia, reporting that “Some readers familiar with the work of Johnson’s ex-wife, the newspaper columnist Rheta Grimsley Johnson, have suggested that Janis and Rheta are lookalikes.”
You be the judge.
I’m pretty sure my ex wouldn’t want me portraying her side-boob in a national newspaper.
Or be portrayed as STILL randy for me.
And no, I suppose she wouldn’t want to be portrayed as engaging in oral sex on the sofa either.

Find the “Arlo has to shave before getting frisky” strip if you can. I have NO idea how that got by the censors.

oh yeah, that one’s AWESOME. Quiz: was he going to shave his face or his balls?
