Garfield by Jim Davis for August 30, 2021

It’s a pink donut, no the green.

It’s green in Garfield’s eyes.

Even radishes are green, Garfield? How about parsnips and carrots? Last I checked, they’re red, white, and orange respectively.

absolutely, Garfield. As usual, you have touched upon the meat of them matter.

Are cats colorblind?

Unless it’s toxic green, maybe Garfield will mutate into someone nicer.

Nah, that will never happen.

Oh for pete’s sake! how can this even happen? A random coloring error in a small area is one thing, but this one is on an object where the color is the whole point of the joke!

How does the colorist manage to color the strip without actually reading the strip? If the coloring step comes before adding the text, does no-one bother to at least leave a note for the colorist saying “Hey, FYI, this donut needs to be colored green for the joke to work.”? And then how does the whoever adds the text also miss this error?

Does Jim Davis’ team make comics blindfolded now?

I guess pink is the new green…

Looks like the colorist didn’t read the caption.

Either it’s time for Jon to ask Liz for an eye-check or it’s time for GC to hire a few literate colorists.

I think the “green” part is the process by which the doughnut was created i.e. earth friendly!

How is that a green donut?

Why would anyone eat a moldy donut?

It seems that I have my curtains for dinner tonight…..

It’s not even green! At least make it a green donut Garfield

Not everything green is a vegetable. Green grapes and olives are fruits. Then there are green caterpillars which are edible. Green frogs legs. Then there is the green M&M, green Smarties. And finally there is green cheese, which the Moon is made out of.

Mouldy?

Overeaters make up all sorts of rules to rationalize their habit.

cats can see two colors yellow and blue so they can’t make a difference between pink and green

At least this blunder is funnier than the joke would have been if the coloring was correct…

Not everything, Garfield…

I’ve found the pistachio muffins at Ingles are wonderful and they are green.

Does that include the wall behind you, Garfield?

No, he just ate a green doughnut, I think. Dunno. All I know is that Garfield’s cheating on his diet.

Um …

I’m assuming by “green” donut that must’ve been a keto donut, right?

Dieting rule # 7: Foods that are the same color have the same number of calories. Pistachio ice cream has the same number of calories as lettuce.

“Everything green is a vegetable….”

Martians? Moldy meat? Arsenic?

That’s not green

You know, wheat is a vegetable…

Or on the shelf FAR too long.

The background is green and the donut is pink—methinks the colorist got confused.

Well the colorist got it wrong and the joke fell flat. But it’s Monday and his fail did get lots of comments. Give him a break.

Garf rationalizes like a human.

Further proof that no one, seriously no one, edits modern comics.

Perhaps it was cooked in vegetable oil.

Mold can be green but never that tasty.. so I’m told

Then what’s the pink frosting?

I count coffee as a vegetable.

If Jon were in this one, he would complain that donuts are not vegetables. And of course, Garfield would counter back that since donuts are made from dough, which is made from flour, which in turn is made from wheat, then it would count to him.

nice try, Garfield…

Make it green!!

Might have let the colorist know…

I wonder if he meant that the doughnut/donut was made out of green plants instead of a green colored doughnut/donut?

Good thing he’s color blind.

Not true Garfield and that isn’t a green donut.

Did some short research. OK, I did a quick internet search, and if Garfield wants to believe the donut is green his vision will let him get away with it.

Shamrock shakes are vegetables?!

That’s not true, Garfield…

Why is everyone commenting on the color of the donut being off? As a long time donut eater, I’m her to tell you that if I walk into a donut shop and say “I’ll have one of those green donuts” or even “one of those “pink” donuts, they’ll know that I’m referring to the icing. For the most part, and the exception being special occasions like St. Patricks day, the donuts come in 2 colors: tan and dark brown.

Strange. The color of the donut above is green. My local newspaper it was pink.

Or mold.

except limes. Those are fruits.

Snakes? Lizards?

Wheat, sugar cane, corn syrup, fried in vegetable oil. Sounds “plant based” at least.

I’ll remember that when I have my lime Jello.

Wow! The donut changed color!!!!

But I thought the ol’ saying was, if you tell them it’s healthy, or eat your greens, then kids will ignore all advice ?

“The Simpsons” had a similar dialogue a while back:

Homer: “Donut?”

Lisa: “No, thanks. You have any fruit?”

Homer: “This has purple stuff inside. Purple is a fruit.”

Sometime in the last 24 hours the doughnut changed from pink to green. That’s very interesting. Somebody read the comments and made the change.

What if the green is mould? Gross…

wait is a pink donut before and now is green….HOW

Baby poop is green – so does THAT count as a vegetable too?

I’m trying to think of a thing that’s green and not a vegetable but my mind is blank
