Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 16, 2025

Another Truism from the pen of Mr. Johnson.

Quick recoverey, Arlo. Man of wisdom most of the time.

…or baseball

Did Janis dye her hair?

In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin’s breast;/In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest;

In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove;/In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.

A young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love in Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

Ah, but if it looks like a duck …

Defining love is the hard part…

In spring a young man’s thoughts are of anticipation and and an old man’s are of memories.

And the homeowner’s thoughts turn to weed-killers.

A young man’s fancy turns to lust…

“Reasonable facsimile,” a euphemism I had neither heard nor considered, but accurate.

As Isaac Asimov said “In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of which, through out the year, an older man has never once forgot”.

Awww…Arlo’s such a sweetie!

When you are an older man, you do not care what a young man is thinking about!

A young man’s fancy lasts but a moment. An old man’s fancy enjoys all the moments.

Do believe that this is a re-run, but I still like it. : )

I think that as a young man he found more than a reasonable facsimile.

In spring my fancy transitions from hockey to baseball[go Cubs, go]

or his tourney bracket

Voice of experience?

GoComics is running late again but the Seattle Times has today’s A&J up. According to Ancestry.com Arlo is 16% Irish. That would mean he has at least ancestors from the old sod.

Arlo is repeating himself. Must be the green beer.

Mebbe so, but my wife’s thougts have turned to lawn mowing.

Where’s Monday’s strip?

Apparently today’s strips didn’t load, this is Sunday’s.

Where’s the March 17 comic?
