Ride wife? 🦍

Yeah, your wife's pretty good

Yes

Yeah, ain’t that the truth

Yeah well I've seen the sunset thousands of times too!

It's my first time seeing it

it's a slice of life comic about pleasant people, like Pickles. i always just kind of liked that one, same reason as yours, but then they did a week where one of the main characters had to get a colonoscopy. and they made it funny!

i'm kind of upset he ''stole'' (read: independently generated, like so many of you) my best joke about them, too

Arlo and Janis’ author seems to be of the Baby Boomer generation.

Johnson was born and grew up in Lanett, Alabama, graduating from Lanett High School in 1970.

Assuming he graduated at 17-18, he’d have been born around 1952.

I'd say the target audience of newspaper comic Arlo and Janis readers, they were intended to be a boomer comic when the comic strip launched in 1985. obviously like almost all comic strips, the characters haven't aged so, when the comic strip was written they were boomers in 1985.

It is worth noting that the comic specifically is noted as being kind of a reversal of normal boomer humor, as the normal tropes of comedy in that era was more on being annoyed with your spouse etc.... and it more often actually made the relationship mostly healthy.

Not that I assume the poster knows this, but they're accurate on a technicality. The cartoonist responsible, Jimmy Johnson, is actually of boomer age (born April 20th 1952), so this is a boomer comic.

TIL all the boomers died before 2009

sorry, dad, you're dead to me now

Back in my day we didn't have doomsday rectangles for titillation. We had to go outside and find it ourselves.

nothing to brag about.
