A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

Bowl Games

By Jimmy Johnson

I’m continuing our theme of The Secret Life of Janis with this old A&J from 2010.  When considering the marital-relations humor in Arlo & Janis, it’s natural to regard randy Arlo as the top banana in the comedy duo, but I think it is actually Janis. As often as not, I think Arlo is the straight man, and Janis delivers the punchline.

    Although, to be fair, I seem to recall a time Arlo lost their bet, and the “whatever” Janis wanted was for him to repaint a room in their house, or some such household chore.
    If I just imagined that, Jimmy is welcome to use it for next year’s Super Bowl bet cartoon. 🙂

    Gotta disagree, Jimmy.

    All real men know that, as husbands, they’re the joke.

    We can never measure up to the angels we married.

    First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts
    before writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply
    just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
    Many thanks!
