Honk if you’ve ever done this. This classic A&J from 1997 was lifted verbatim from reality, a rarity. I was dining with friends at a restaurant in Bay St. Louis, and we had a terrible waitress. She was sweet as she could be, but it was obvious she’d little experience or training in her work. As she apologized profusely and scurried off toward the kitchen to correct yet another faux pas, we turned to one another and had the exact same exchange as Janis and Arlo above, right down to delivering the “punchline” in unison. “Janis and Arlo.” Sounds odd, doesn’t it?

On the subject of Gahan Wilson cartoons, in my optometrist’s office was a framed copy of the one where a patient was reading a chart that began ” I am an insane optometrist …” as the doctor loomed behind him with a knife. This lovely tribute includes a must-see video : http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2019/11/gahan-wilson-born-dead-now-dead-again.html
Thanks for sharing this, Ruth Anne. I really liked the animated sequence.
Same as other noted above, my wife and I worked restaurants back when we were young (1970s-early 80s) so we tend to be patient with servers who are trying.
About the comment that Lynne Wilburn made, way near the top of this page, with the controversial “they killed” I believe she was quoting a song from the period — a protest folk song, like many at that time. So the phrase was the songwriter’s and doesn’t have the significance some people here are seeing in it.
I have a ritual where I look at about 15 cartoons. Of course the first one is A&J. Last week’s Crankshaft was about the family getting together for Thanksgiving. Because cartoons can show a few minutes or hours over the course of 2 weeks, I didn’t think much of it until this morning when Ed is with his buddies at Dale (sic) Evans’ restaurant. It looks like the writers did not look at the calendar. I guess that makes Jimmy’s Friday strip rather poignant.

“Every other Thursday night at 9 o’clock” doesn’t seem very often, at their presumed ages.
Peace,
Perhaps Janis simply prefers those Thursday 9 p.m. sessions over their other playtimes [Monday @ 1:30 p.m.; Tuesday @ 4:10 a.m. and 6:35 p.m.; Wednesday @ 11:15 a.m.; Friday @ 3:20 p.m.; Saturday @ anytime either wants; and Sunday @ 10 p.m.]!!
Good for them….
My! Sounds like some Villager’s don’t practice “moderation in all things.” I begin to ache just reading that list. Am reminded of a different outfit’s supposed promise of 32 virgins, which raised 2 or 3 questions in my lascivious mind:
1. What’s so great, after a reasonable life, about virgins?;
2. Then what?; and
3. What are we promising devout women when they die?
Peace,
Who are “we”? Less ambiguous wording: 3. What does that outfit promise devout women who die?
This post responds to an email, and is taken verbatim from my return email.
“I apologize for a carelessly worded comment. It does not state that the posted list refers to your “actions or proclivities.” If anything, it suggests that Janis might be so inclined, but I doubt she is. The strip itself suggests that the Days may be unusually rigid about scheduling one of their activities. I doubt any Villagers or Jimmy expect that list reveals your inclinations.”
