A few months ago, Jimmy Johnson asked people to informally let him know if you’d be interested in buying the upcoming Arlo and Janis collection, the first of its kind in about 20 years. Now that publication is about a month away, even if you expressed interest previously, he’d like you to semi-informally state your intention to buy the book. Doing so still doesn’t legally obligate you to buy it. It’s more like a handshake thing. Or a pre-engagement. Or one of those “save the date” cards. I don’t know… cartoonists, right?
But yeah, seriously, please let Jimmy know, as soon as possible. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that if you pre-order, your copy will be autographed (but don’t hold me — or Jimmy — to that unless you see it in writing somewhere). The address is preorder (at) arloandjanis.com

Seriously, is this a nickname for Arlo that we’ve ever seen before?

Could Jimmy have possibly
not realized what he was writing here?
Saberchick sent me this one with both the Arlo Award and Awww tags, a combination we certainly don’t see very often.

Wouldn’t “Mary Lou wants to know if you and Gus have discussed my dowry…” have made more sense as her puckish prank? I just can’t get my head around what it is she managed to convince Gene of.

Maybe I need some perspective here… wouldn’t a reasonably intelligent adult with 4 years of college behind him know what a dowry is? I mean, Jimmy apparently assumes his
readers do…

In case you’re not visiting Jimmy Johnson’s web site regularly (though I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t be, if for no other reason than to read a bonus A&J strip several times a week), he’s in the planning stages of putting together a collection and he’s looking for some idea how many people would be interested. Please drop him a line at book (at) arloandjanis.com and tell him something like “hell, yeah” if you like the idea.
This is not legally binding.

Arlo has a flip phone, so he can’t butt dial; but not all non-smart phones are flip phones (and therefore some can butt dial), and some smart phones
are flip phones and therefore
can’t butt dial. Trust me on this one, Arlo, I was butt dialing before there was even a word for it.

Because network news anchors wear 60’s suits and smoke constantly? The only thing I can think of is Janis hasn’t watched the evening news since Edward R. Murrow.

… if I’d asked for a well done burger, and Arlo brought me a medium rare burger and then blatantly lied about because he’d decided he knew best what I should be eating, his doctor would find that hamburger during Arlo’s next colonoscopy.

Not quite synchronicity (by our standards), because the Mallard Fillmore was published on Wednesday
while the Arlo and Janis, a rerun from 2009 (for some reason) appeared on Friday.
Still weird, though.

(no offense intended, Jimmy; I just couldn’t come up with any other tagline that amused me)
Okay, so 1) what’s Luddie doing in the first two panels, 2) why’s Janis freaking out, and 3) what’s Arlo talking about?
(note: a couple of people sent this to me as a CIDU, but Laurie Wylie sent it as a LOL)

I think it’s obvious what he’s thinking, but what does he think she thinks he’s thinking?
