must be an army of forty-two candles; twenty-one on each side of Garfield’s bed (when did the candles also leave anthropomorphic cake on which they were perched from yesterday?)
If you examine the third panel closely, you’ll notice it contains 44 candles. This most likely means that Jim Davis is acknowledging that Garfield’s first appearance was in 1976, in the comic strip “Jon”.
The fact that each candle’s foot is bigger that it’s body is freaky. Anyone else feeling that? I guess it wasn’t as bad as the birthday cake’s hands from earlier this week.

Imagine them all lit and on a cake. Anyone actually put up with that?

Look on the bright side, Garfield. You’ll always be younger than me.

With so many candles on the Garfield’s cake, let’s hope that firefighters don’t think there’s a fire in the neighborhood.

Better disconnect the fire alarm if you’re planning to light all those otherwise it’ll be going off all the time.

At my age the candles decided follow the recommendations of the fire department and elected representatives for the honor.

Why must so many of us die to commemorate something you don’t want commemorated? We candles say that it’s better to fade away than to burn out.

You’re too old for that when the first candle lit is melted down to its bottom by the time you get the last candle lit.

That many candles is likely to set off the smoke alarm.

How old is Garfield? 29, 32, 888?

When you get to my age, it’s not a couple of candles on top of a cake. It’s a five alarm fire in a bakery.
