Garfield by Jim Davis for August 11, 2020

Uh no, Jon

Which is worse, this, or the time Jon got stuck inside the wall?

Aye! (2020, sigh!)

Jon has your brain always been there? How often?

More like “this year’s word.” And not just cuz of the pandemic.

Please use in a sentence.

That is not ‘Hopeless’… that is ‘Brainless’.

‘Hopeless’ is getting Garfield to stick with a diet for any length of time! ;)

Its my Birthday!!!

Jon is the Scarecrow, from Wizard Of Oz …

Illustrated perfectly by Jon Arbuckle

Don’t tell me the rats put up new walls built an autonomous zone inside Jon’s house too. (It had happened to Ziggy recently.)

Exactly HOW long have you lived there, Jon?

As he bounces off the wall….(((((((BOING)))))))

Guys, why does it tell me “This feature could not be found” when I go to U.S Acres?

Say the secret word and watch Jon Arbuckle run into anything today.

HECK YEAH IT’S HOPELESS BECAUSE I WORKED ALL MORNING TO TRY TO FINISH MY GARFIELD CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE YESTERDAY AND THEN TODAY I TRIED TO COPY MY COMMENT SO THAT I COULD PASTE IT IN HERE BUT THEN IT WENT TO ANOTHER TAB WITHOUT ME COPYING IT AND THEN I LOST ALL OF MY DANG HARD WORK AND PROGRESS!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Jon has always been the epitome of ‘hopeless’ throughout the years.

And yet Liz perseveres with him…..

No John the house moved :)

Wall: My brain has.

Reminds me of Murray the dog on “Mad About You” who was always running into the wall. Of course he never hit the wall, but all your heard was THUMP!

Now it’s time for a daily “thing”: A Garfield Choose Your Own Adventure! I tell story. You choose answer. Inspired by DumbSmarto’s Big Nate Choose Your Own Adventure. I will post this daily, sometimes on Saturdays. I may not be able to post it in some days, which is OK (exclusive to Saturdays). Basically, I tell you a Garfield-themed story, and then you reply your best choice answer, which affects the story. You have three lives. Once we end with a unfortunate consequence, and a “the end”, one life gets taken. Choose wisely! Now. LET’S! START!!!

It was an ordinary NOT ENTIRELY NORMAL (thanks to Covid-19 pandemic) day. You read your favorite Garfield comic strip via newspaper or online. You’ve been doing this for about a long time now. One day, you receive mail from Paws Inc., whether if it’s online or not, stating: Dear reader, thank you for choosing Garfield as your daily comic strip. Of course, you may have read other strips too, which is fine. Since you’re an experienced Garfield reader, why don’t you experience the world of Garfield? Thanks, Jim Davis (founder of Paws Inc.) You become confused by what the letter’s saying. A moment later, your computer/letter (in paper form)/newspaper starts shaking. Your computer malfunctions. Your newspaper is flipping its pages. Sparks fly around your computer/letter/newspaper. You find out that Paws Inc. has created a special power in that letter, whether if it’s online or not, and is connecting it to the online/newspaper Garfield strip. The next thing you know, the power hovers you in midair, while sparks fly around you now, and shoots you into the newspaper/computer (which isn’t shaking anymore), which contains the Garfield strip! Then you hear a muffled boom outside. Then, silence. Which must mean that no sparks are flying around outside, and everything is still, like nothing ever happened, except that you aren’t around. Continuing on the reply comment.

I thought the word was drunk or hangover!

no, they move during the night…

That’s me getting a glass of water at 2 am

Hmmm…“Trump” also works in cartoon with “Thump”.

Actually I think that Jon just doesn’t use his brain as much as he should.

What’s tomorrow’s word? Dorky?

This is typical Jon, thinking he’s a stud.
