   Congratulations Jimmy Johnson
   35 years of quality writing.
   But I’ve only read and enjoyed ’Arlo ‘N’ Janis for approximately 10 years
   Thank you for your work. Hopefully many more years to come

   I’ve been a delighted follower of Arlo & Janis for its entire 35-year run. I’m a proud owner of both ARLO AND JANIS and BEAUCOUP ARLO & JANIS. I treasure the original cartoon art (complete with erasures!) of two of my favorite strips, generously made available to me by the artist himself. All in all, I like to consider myself one of Jimmy Johnson’s most devoted fans. I’d like to convey my heartfelt appreciation for 35 years of laughs, tears and shrewd insights. Let’s have at least 35 more years, Jimmy!

   I have followed Arlo and Janis for many years, as has my husband. We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in July and laughed when we saw it was the comic strips 35th year. We laughed because my husband is so much like Arlo, and their marriage ups and downs are so relatable. I loved when Gene was little. My all time favorite was when he was in the bathtub surrounded by toys and he very blandly says, WHEEE! Thanks for the laughs.

   I have a copy of Jimmy Johnson’s Work that has been on my walls for the last 30 years. It is copyright 1989 8/18. In this yellowed strip,torn out of a newspaper and treasured evermore since then, Janis is talking with a girl friend. The girl friend in the first panel says “Men!’ and Janis says “They only want one thing!”. In the second panel the girl friend says “A shop”

   That is it. Two panels treasured from pre-computer age newspapers. RGB

   I have followed A & J for many years, but have always wondered about the origin of the names. Guthrie & Joplin?

   Keep up the great work, and thanks!
