It’s fun to do something like this, from 2007. I think we can all agree we see a lot of Arlo and Janis sitting on the sofa. A&J is a dialog-driven strip, which is not to say, I hope, that it is wordy, but much of the vital characterization comes from verbal interchange. Still, this can create graphic sameness, and just varying the scene for the sake of relieving visual boredom can be a challenge, especially on deadline where *ahem* I sometimes find myself. Anyway, that’s what I like about the above example: it involves Arlo and Janis with their morning coffee, having a mundane husband-and-wife conversation about dreaming. Or is Arlo still dreaming? I should be this creative more often. I know.

I haven’t seen that episode of Twilight Zone, but I did find this article that depicts it, the original short story, and the movie version of it in 2009.

To those I’d add the courtroom scene in “How to Murder Your Wife” (1965) with Jack Lemon, Virna Lisi, Jack Albertson, and Terry Thomas.
Hey, gang! Let’s all send Mr. Fabela a birthday card.

A local church just tried that (Ghost – 8:35pm) earlier this month for a veteran’s 100th. Last I heard, he actually received 75 cards – the church membership is small. Perhaps there were some later deliveries.
Trucker – that is the basic story, but I remember it as being much older.
Thanks
TR- neat photo!
