Now that we’ve re-instituted the Arlo Award, who should come along needing that classification but Arlo and Janis themselves. (But of course the Award is named for Arlo Guthrie — and we’re sticking to that story!)
But this is also a bit of a CIDU, in need of a little explication.
Thanks to Andréa for this contribution.
Yes, the Arlo Award is still an ongoing operation! (The sequestered Arlo Page site is another matter.) The Award is for a somewhat racy or suggestive comic that by virtue of double entendre or sheer bluff can get past newspaper-oriented standards-and-practices.
This LuAnn Sunday strip was sent in by some CIDU stalwarts, most asking about the Arlo Award category, but one also counting it as a CIDU since the “spicy” reading is not unambiguous. And some have taken it to the GoComics comments thread, for that matter. Thanks to Bob Ball, Findus, Unca $crooge, and Karl.
(By the way, their names are Frank and Nancy.)
Is there any reading of the third panel that doesn’t qualify this for an Arlo Award?
I think we can all agree Mr. Hillburn has earned himself an Arlo Award.
B.A.: Arlo Award?

And today’s Arlo Award goes to…
B. A: “If not him, then who else?”
Arlo Page, appropriately enough.
Definitely a CIDU, maybe an Arlo too: so I’m stashing it here just to be safe.
