Editors of syndicated comic strips see a lot of comic strips. It is almost impossible for a cartoonist to make them laugh or take particular note at all beyond spelling, rudimentary punctuation and “Does it contain anything dirty,” intentional or otherwise. Therefore, it was a rare occasion indeed when my long-suffering editor Reed Jackson dropped me an email in 2009 about this holiday Arlo & Janis, saying, “This is exactly what’s going to be happening at my house over the coming days,” or something to that effect. I still remember!
