Arlo |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
|
Arlo is Janis' husband. He works for one of those vague, comic-strip corporations that survives year after year despite inept management, disgruntled workers and no apparent purpose. You can tell when he's at work, because he wears a tie. You can tell when he's not at work, because he wears a tee-shirt. Arlo usually can be found sitting at his desk, sitting on the sofa or sitting on the patio. On rare occasions, he sits in the car. He is Curly. |

Janis is Arlo's wife. Apparently, she has a job a lot like Arlo's. Originally, she was to have a cool job like an engineer or an architect or something, but that might involve research, so she was stuck in a comic-strip corporation, too. A highlight of the strip's 15-year run was when Janis bobbed her shoulder-length hair, which tells you more than we'd like to admit. She has gotten much better looking over the years, as Mr. Johnson has learned to draw women. By the time she dies of old age, she'll be a fox! She is Moe. |

Gene is their son. Like the others, he appears in black and white Monday through Saturday and in color on Sundays. Gene is Janis' head with different hair on Arlo's body. (Hey, it's not easy makin' up this stuff about people who don't really exist!) For years, he was an integral member of the cast, but upon reaching adolescence, he disappears for days at a time, out doing god-knows-what with his friends. By rarely appearing, Gene arguably is the most lifelike teenage character in the comics. He is Larry. |

Ludwig is the cat. He doesn't talk or think or do much of anything, really. Realism is a big thing with us. The cat is Shemp. |
