Some Retro + Recent A&J, just for fun

Tactile

From Chemgal, a puzzling Arlo and Janis:

Chemgal comments: “I suspect this is a jab at places with QR code menus, but I’ve never been to a place that ONLY has QR code menus. Is that common somewhere? Also, what does Janis see as the silver lining in the last panel?”

A little tech support here, please

Okay, the general line of the joke is clear enough. But what really are the respective methods they are using, and contrasting? Is Arlo using Shazam on a laptop? Using the laptop to view the radio station’s website to find their “now playing” widget? Or is that laptop doing the streaming and he is checking the streaming service? Is Janis using anything besides Google and Wikipedia? How did she know what to look up?

P.S. The ArloAndJanis.com web page is still not providing any content.

Further P.S. The next day’s strip was sort of a sequel.

I think we may have analysed this retro A&J before?

Thanks to chemgal, who says “In memory of Bill, here’s a cat comic. I almost understand it, but what’s going on in panel 3?”

Here are two from dollarbill (and a third one we happened upon) with the 4th-wall or meta- theme of characters knowing they’re living in a cartoon. He mentions he has been “wading through J. C Duffy‘s humongous almost daily blog posting of comic/photos/short musings beside them sometimes,” which go back years. “Fusco Brothers is just one of his outputs. The number of fly-in-the-soup variations is staggering.” CIDU has sometimes featured Duffy’s Lug Nuts, somehow strikingly different in graphics appearance yet very recognizably his work.

Does this make you feel like Dark Side of the Horse is by now influencing successor generations?

Although most cats manage without mechanical mousetraps.

Mmm, bread pudding!

Thanks to Ooten Aboot:

… who explains: “I understand the point of bread pudding is to use perishable ingredients (e.g. bread, milk and eggs) before they perish. I don’t understand why A & J would keep perishables as their ‘snow provisions’. Suspension of disbelief will only stretch so far.”

It’s a bit gruesome to contemplate just how her face has been involved in those ship launches!

P.S. Don’t forget the milli-Helen, a unit of facial beauty capable of launching one ship.

Okay, there’s a joke that the younger generation are hip to Internet stuff like memes and chat abbreviations.

But subsidiary puzzlements:

Is that a standard or geezerly riddle, about the waiter saying that?
Is Sisyphus supposed to be amusing himself texting jokes, distracting from his labors?
