Garfield by Jim Davis for November 18, 2019

Yeah Jon! What were you thinking?!

I wonder how long Mondays on Jupiter are.

Venus has longer days than earth which means Sundays(Garfield favourite day) is 2802 hours

If the men are from Mars and the women from Venus, where are the cats from?

I’m retired so I only have weekends and holidays.

I’m retired, my week consists of five Fridays and the weekend.

But Garfield, you don’t have a job to go to on Mondays. Why the complaining?

Think of all the time you have to eat pizza each day.

He makes a good point, Jon.

Course Garfield Wouldn’t want to go there

Long day’s journey into night.

You wouldn’t like space, it’s boring, it has no atmosphere…

… and 583 hours to wait untill dinnertime!

Atmospherically speaking, Venus would be about the worst choice Jon. Mars could be habitable for a short visit, but with little atmosphere, & no magnetic field, you would be irradiated soon, unless you lived underground.

if he wanted to go to Venus, then he would be wanting to go to France where it’s located at…https://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/aphrodite-known-venus-de-milo

If Garfeild ever went to that planet, he would cry….

“Space Cat Visits Venus”, by Ruthven Todd. Published in 1955. I loved it as a child too, Jim.

Nothing wrong with mondays! Oh, by the way, I´m retired.

Plus it’s a hot and dry planet

That’s as fresh of a Monday joke as I’ve seen from Garfield in several years. Bring back the days when Garfield was getting hit in the face with pies on Mondays!

I think Garfield would rather visit the planet Clarion.

Except a Venusian day isn’t 2,802 hours – it’s 5,832 hours!

Here is the answer…

Even worse, there’s no LASAGNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see possibilities for an out-of-this-world Garfield Christmas Special.

Katmandu!!

but so do Saturday and Sunday

Silly cat! Venus only has four weekdays, and they all end in “-snorgh.”

Now, let’s see.. With the 5800 hour day, counting an effective 2.5 days on a weekend, that comes out just short of 15,000 hours. That party will take the 5800 hours on Monday to recuperate. . .

a day on Venus is 5,832 hours

Lucky he didn’t say ’UR-anus. ;-)

This is the Monday that never ends, it just goes on and on and on and on ….

This is the day my dog was put out of her misery.

Actually, I don’t think Mondays last quite that long on Venus. According to a study on NASA.com, Venus makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Venusian time) in 225 Earth days or slightly less than two Venusian day-night cycles. Its orbit around the Sun is the most circular of any planet — nearly a perfect circle. So basically Garfield would be experiencing a Monday that has a little less than a 48 hour ratio compared to 24 hours.

So Monday lasts 116.75 earth day but then doesn’t the rest of the week last 700 earth days? So it will be one year before Monday comes.

Then again the weekend lasts 5604 hours

When Garfield is ✨educational✨

I’ve scrolled through the entire comment section for this strip and not a single Uranus joke. Somehow I’m disappointed.
