Garfield by Jim Davis for June 06, 2019

you’ve got to stop climbing trees for no apparent purpose, Garfield

I say it’s more like a…very weak tree.

I cuss gravity a few times a week.

Well if you didn’t weigh as much as you do, the branch wouldn’t break.

They say a cat always lands on its feet. And a dropped piece of toast always lands butter side down. What would happen if you strapped a piece of toast to a cat’s back and dropped it off a building?

The reason fire departments don’t rescue cats from trees anymore:Have you EVER seen a cat skeleton in a tree?

Cats always land on their feet, but not BigFoots.

Hey, as long as it works!

You can’t always count on gravity.

Your weight is also a factor, Garfield. Just saying…

In Garfield’s case, gravity is not helpful despite getting him to the ground. F=ma will lead to many an ouchie

Landing with your arms in that position must really hurt

The cat will always find his own way out of a tree. :D

gravity…plus a WHOLE LOT OF WEIGHT!

Gravity is a heartless bitch…

The force of gravity depends on the two objects’ mass and distance. Changing any of those will affect the pull of gravity. For example, if Garfield gains weight, Earth pulls stronger on him (and his pull is stronger on the Earth). Thus Garfield’s increased mass, pulled with greater force, thus the expected result.

Works every time!

Heathcliff truly needs to understand Darwin better! That’s step #1!

Wait a second the branch that Garfield’s holding on should NOT brake

Shouldn’t have had that last lasagna.

Did you know that “face palm” isn’t a tree, Garf?

And that’s the law!

I hope Garfield is Okay, that was quite a Smack the critter got right on his face.Stop climbing those trees you know you always do end up getting stuck in.

Gravity is such a downer.

In that situation it’s also called something else.

Fire department busy?

As the ol’ saying goes, “what goes up, must come down”.

Garfield is teaching us about, Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of gravity and physics.
