Garfield by Jim Davis for November 12, 2010

But not eough to still squash you.

A spider with a serious overbite.

After seeing this comic strip, it makes me sing, “Fangs for the memories.”

Should have run this one closer to “Fangsgiving Day”

Not. Good.

Hate to get toothache though….

Squash that little $@#%&@ quick. I have Arachnophobia

What is it? Some newfangled kind of spider?

Ooooh!!!! Spider chopsticks!!! :D

Smack him and get a new set of knitting needles.

Arnold Shwortsaspider?

\\//_

OMG. The puns are hot and heavy. That-a-boys!

Shouldn’t he have eight fangs?

That’s one fangstastic spider!

Fangs for the memories …

@pursell - if you think it’s “fly’s”, why don’t you think it’s “spider’s”?

Mr. Davis was apolgizing for the blunder on Internet today from yesterdays blunder for Veteran’s Day event.

Long as you have a newspaper ready, I would suggest squishing Fang first.

@Kab Buch: He shouldn’t apologize. We all know that wars are stupid. But mankind been doing wars since dawn of creation! So what does that tell us there?

Mr. Davis said,, that yesterdays comic was drawn nearly a year ago and had no idea what day that particular strip was going to be printed, it was unfortunate the computer chose yesterday to release it.

I think yesterday’s strip had a cogent if inadvertent message. The spider teacher was at least trying to teach her pupils about the meaning of “National Stupid Day.” I wonder how many teachers in our country gave any kind of lesson, no matter how brief, about the significance of Veterans Day? To many people, even adults, Veterans Day or any other holiday is just a day off or an excuse for mattress stores to have a sale.

I may not thank a vet every day, but I’m thankful every day

Ji2m - An excellent point lost on those that are so open-minded that their brains have fallen out.

Wars have never solved anything except for stopping Nazism, Communistic totalitarianism, Fascism and have only freed millions of people from oppression and tyranny! War can be horrible but sometimes is necessary to stop greater evil.

And regarding “Fang”… Are those leftover plastic teeth from Halloween? How could Fang possibly be fast enough to catch anything with those unwieldy teeth? Does he promise to tell the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth? Is this his defense against a future courtship with a black widow? Imagine his dental bills! If Fang gets a cavity, BOY - would that be painful! Implants? Steroids? Lives too close to Chernobyl or 3-mile Island? Was his mom ever frightened by a vampire movie?

Garfield could just grab Fang by his fangs and use him to swat the other spider…

OK, I’ll bite: Very pointed strip today. must be a grandpa; kind of long in the tooth. Olympic pole vaulter.

Assuming what Mr Davis is saying about yesterday’s comic to be true, then we have at least one member of the syndicate to directly blame for the timing. If this be the case, then I apologize for the comment I made to you, Mr Davis, and direct my comment to the syndicate person(s) responsible.

I do not like “Fang”. Garfield get a news paper–FAST! Or some scisors to remove the fangs. LOL

Hey fang, you bite me and I’ll get my cousin dentist after you

I agree with Ji2m and treBsdrawkcaB when he said:

“Ji2m - An excellent point lost on those that are so open-minded that their brains have fallen out.

Wars have never solved anything except for stopping Nazism, Communistic totalitarianism, Fascism and have only freed millions of people from oppression and tyranny! War can be horrible but sometimes is necessary to stop greater evil.”

I also appreciate your humorous remarks about the spider vampire.

mjpankr said, about 5 hours ago I wonder how many teachers in our country gave any kind of lesson, no matter how brief, about the significance of Veterans Day?

Considering that all the schools around here had the day off - I would say not many. Unfortunate.

Well, we had school, I’m a veteran who teaches in one of our schools, and our students were treated to a choir group of students singing patriotic songs and an awesome powerpoint. It interrupted a major big test, but I didn’t mind. They did a great job, and it made me proud to teach at our school.

Before anyone should assume that nobody did anything out of the ordinary at school to remember our vets, maybe they should consider that their world is not the center of the universe.

And I think those teeth look fangtastic on fang! ☺

Fang – wasn’t he Phyllis Diller’s husband?

We had record border lineups yesterday – all those Canadians going south to spend Remembrance Day Christmas shopping! I’m glad I’m not the only Canadian who was disgusted!

Oddly enough I wasn’t offended by yesterday’s strip, had no thought in my mind that the timing might be either inadvertent or ill-advised, and just enjoyed the irony of the strip for what it was. If anything - and you may count my peculiar sense of humor as the proximate cause - the timing made the strip more funny to me.

Said spider was no veteran of a foreign war or even a member of a persecuted minority under tyranny, that’s for certain. He was just an arachnid without the sense to move out of a house “owned” by a murderously arachnophobic cat. Well should he be remembered on National Stupid Day among spiders.

He’s doing the fangdango.

Break the fangs Garfield.

Is he jumping or does he have LEGS…
