Garfield by Jim Davis for February 07, 2021

Watch out for vehicles!

And that’s how we call it a time machine (kinda)

More like “Memory pain”.

I bet he will break the sound barrier someday.

But did he trip? It was more a ‘slip’ rather a ‘trip’.

He was pulled apart by a black hole

A slide actually.

If only Liz is standing on the other side and Jon hits her to the ground not long after he steps into the sidewalk ice, she would’ve ended up having morning sickness tomorrow…

What fun that was… and it STILL IS funny!

Parking lot of store has the most ice in the designated area for the handicapped.

Rather you than me Jon, I’m staying in where it’s warm, I’ve had enough trouble with this left leg without chancing it….

“Watch out for that treeeeeeee !” (George of the Jungle)

The (not-so) Electric Slide!

Sidewalk ice is what you Yanks call it. We Brits call it pavement ice.

Hahahahahaha! But seriously. I hate walking on ice. Its so slippery.

Jon’s least favorite day: Sunday

I was jogging on an unshoveled sidewalk, a mess of frozen footprints, when I saw a patch of clear cement ahead; so I made a great leap to land my next step on something safe. Sidewalk ice – a torn rotator cuff needs lots of physio, and a few months, but it will heal.

Probably taking a close-up of memory lane. Painful or embarrassing, perhaps. Like most kids, Jon usually moves directly ahead, somewhere.

Watch out for that sign post at the end. I think it says “Stop”.

Could be worse.

LOL i wonder if it went any better for him before or if he just didn’t ever learn

On his rear…

Reminds me of some cracked ribs I would prefer to forget. But I do remember that with sufficient motivation you can suppress a sneeze. And cracked ribs are sufficient motivation.

9-1-1 …..send an ambulance to Memory Lane please!

Better to go down Memory Lane than up schitt’s Creek.

And Jon is reminded why he stopped playing on sidewalk ice, the fun part was the other kids laughing at him.

Morons and ice do not mix.

Besides Lorenzo Music as Garfield, I could hear Thom Huge’s Jon Arbuckle voice in my head as I read this.

Only Jon would slip on the sidewalk ice the instant he steps out onto it. Also, does anybody remember the strip where Jon, Garfield, and Odie attempted to impress some chicks by inline skating, only for them to lose control, with Jon going off the sidewalk down the bank, while Garfield ran into a tree and Odie into a birdbath?

to the Emergency Room…..

Why is Liz asking a cat? I still don’t get why they do this

Poor Jon should learn how to make Garfield laugh without causing himself pain…

More like a zip down memory lane

No, taking a slide down Memory Lane…..

It seems to be a particularly guy problem, but the mind keeps insisting that you are still 25 yrs old, when the body says “Don’t do this, your 55, it will hurt.” The mind over rules the body and forces it to say “Hold my beer and watch this.”

what fun of a “memory lane”!!!

and at the end of the lane, there’s a hospital.

People avoid that for a REASON!

And Jon meets the big bully called the intersection….

At least this wasn’t downhill.

More like “Misery Lane” if you ask me. #themiseryindex :)

A reminder that Jon is not a kid anymore!!

(wonders about whether the “MEMORY LANE” mentioned in the cartoon was in reference to a certain road or not)

Slip, sliding away

Tripping down (literality) memory lane.

My wife watched a woman get off the bus once. She stepped onto a solid one-inch iced-over sidewalk, slipped on her butt and slid down the hill alongside the bus. After traveling a short distance, she grabbed hold of a parking meter, whirled around it and kept sliding down the sidewalk as my wife and other horrified bus riders watched. She was heading toward an intersection as the bus pulled away. My wife says she’s assuming she got stopped.

I can’t recall Memory Lane.

Jon’s family is a little bit incompetent, because during a look at the yearbook, Jon mentions mistakes and things that happened to them. Like one example, a dynamite truck driver got blown to pieces. One time, Jon’s grandson will say “This is my grandpa, Jon Arbuckle! Here’s him in high school, here’s him at the beach, and here’s him fined for speeding down a sidewalk at 50 mph. And here’s him in the energy room.

I have to say, this kind of made me laugh… this was the concept of our Winter “playground equipment,” in grade school. We had absolutely nothing to play on, so, when Winter arrived, we’d all manage to create a long strip of ice, and slide down it on our shoes. This was a pleasant trip down memory lane, for me!

Whatever, childhood has it’s own charm. I wonder when Jon will grow up.

How can you go that far by putting one toe on the ice

To be expected, Jon… Duh.

more like taking a slip down memory lane

So this is what logic is called in cartoons.
