Am I mis-remembering, or have there been several recent references to Janis’s wine consumption?

Janis seems to be suggesting a selfie, in which case Arlo is right: that would look dumb.
Also they’re grown-ups.
They seem to be taking a serious photo, maybe for a Christmas card (sans the Duncan family’s sweaters) as opposed to making duck faces for something they’re going to post on Facebook.
Of course this comic seems to be decades old, so maybe I’m just missing something.


Janis asked about a hypothetical future in which she’s old and fat. “You’re as sexy as ever,” in the present tense, suggests she’s already there.

And how old are Arlo and Janis supposed to be anyway, that she’d want to look fifty years younger?



This was Tuesday’s strip, so the return to Standard Time is likely a factor.

I suppose we’ll have to add another Arlo Award to Jimmy’s list…

I can’t think of a single non-Arlo interpretation…
