Garfield by Jim Davis for June 19, 2016

Another glorious and funny birthday to you, Garfield.

I hope the top of list for birthday gifts is “longer arms.”

I’m gonna be honest and serious right now and it’s not gonna be good: I actually care more about Garfield’s birthday more than fathers day cuz lately I’ve been feeling like I don’t have a dad anymore. Last time I saw him he wasn’t even happy to see me, I even tried hugging but he just turned it away and said he’s not happy. I was so upset, I cried afterwards. He’d rather just be alone with his new wife who was a jerk to my mom. He didn’t even bother to wish me a happy birthday! I’m just so frustrated right talking about this along with a bunch of other things! T.T Well happy b day Garfield. Here’s to another year of someone who makes me happy.

This hits home.

old age: Can’t live with it, or live long without it !

Garfield makes a spectacle of himself because he needs spectacles.

I hate to say it, but pretty lame birthday Sunday strip today. I was really expecting more out of this. oh, well, happy 38th birthday anyway, buddy!

I write things down as well … and then lose the note.

?

Happy 38th birthday, Garfield!

What a disappointment. For once, I was expecting a great Garfield birthday comic with all of Garfield’s friends. Oh well, they did appear last week. Anyway, Happy 38th Birthday, Garfield!

Happy 38th Birthday, Garfield, but hopefully your next birthday will be better than this one.

Item one on the list was “look for my bifocals”

You can borrow my reading glasses!

I understand that short arms problem. lol

At least I don’t have to push the laptop further away so I can read the comics – thanks to being able to magnify the strips.

Happy birthday Garfield Arbuckle

Been there done that, Garfield, that’s why I have to keep my reading glasses handy all the time.

I wish this could’ve been a better strip,but happy 38th birthday Garfield.It’s only going downhill from here.

Happy Father’s Day! And Happy B-day to Garfield!

Love the title panel. Happy Birthday Garfield!!

Use glasses or lens, and that part of the problem will be solved too.

Why the frosty face, Jon?(Get it?)Happy Birthday, Garfield and a very Happy Father’s Day to those who deserve to be fathers.xxx

I include Garfield in my comics page more for nostalgia and GMG purposes. I know it’s hokey and I know it’s old (and yeah, I see other cartoonists sniping at it sometimes). But after this week, I have to say, this strip made me laugh aloud. I can’t remember the last time I laughed aloud at a Garfield. Happy birthday. Have some lasagna. You’ve earned it.

it was his birthday. it should’ve been a birthday strip

So much for that theory.

happy late birthday dear ol’ Garfield ;) You still make me laugh! Keep up the good work Davis. Future cartoonists (like me) are looking at you with awe. :D I’m going to keep on reading Garfield, even when I have trouble reading! ;)

Aging stinks, huh, Garfield? But as I always say, it beats the heck out of the alternative.

Happy Belated Birthday, buddy! (I’ve been out of town.)

As a flabby, tabby orange cat born in the kitchen of an Italian restaurant, you’ve grown very old. Happy 38th birthday, Garf!

HAPPY 38th BIRTHDAY, GARFIELD!!!!!! CONGRATS!

That last panel has probably been used as an reaction image somewhere.
