Arlo & Janis



It seems that Gene, Arlo & Janis' son, is going into farming. Not only is he following his father's long-time dream, Gene is doing so with his current girl-friend.  This is sooo...retro, it's funny! What makes the strip especially funny is Janis' reaction, which is supportive of her son, while she could not condone doing the farming thing when she and Arlo were young enough to do it. She became the typical suburban housewife and didn't allow her husband to follow his dream. (He is so "hen-pecked"!) But now that her son wants to be a farmer, she is all for it!
