Garfield by Jim Davis for December 23, 2021

I bet they don’t have any

Jon’s tastes in fashion, I swear!

Not since the disco era.

This is the first time we actually see Jon asking for something!

what did we expect

I once asked for a black bowling shirt with a single lime green (or turquoise) vertical stripe on one side for my birthday, but got a black with a regular green stripe.

Isn’t the lime polyester suit the one he always wears to dates even before Liz?

He’s so weird

Barf.

OH DOG !!! … Jon has NO dress sense, what-so-ever … UGH !!!

I think the last time I had seen a lime green leisure suit was either when I saw Tom T Hall on a rerun of Hee Haw on TNN (or whatever channel it is on) or one of the days where the late Craig Sager or Don Cherry were going a bit conservative in their choice of attire for the sports commentary though I could see someone like Jesper Parnevik or John Daly reviving the look on the PGA Senior/Champion’s Tour…..

Poor Liz

I need eye bleach even just thinking about that terrible suit!

“… The one with the polka dots, I mean.”

I see Jon’s putting the “Ugh!” in “ugly” again!

Talk about being “absinthe”-minded.

And see if you can find the high rise platform shoes with acrylic heels where you can keep live (for awhile) goldfish. You know, the ones Frenchy Fuquah and Huggy Bear in “Baretta” wore with their lime green polyester pimp suits at the disco.

just the description and I already feel like EEEWWWWW!!!!

Please don’t do it Santa.

“They” tell us we should all be individuals. “Be yourself”. But when it comes to clothing, you are forced to wear whatever somebody says is “trendy” and “what the people want”. Who says we need to be fashionable? Who creates “what the people want”? Why does it matter that we have to be fashionable?

Although we’re probably supposed to assume that that’s what Jon asked for, maybe he asked for something else; he’s just been a very bad boy.

whistles that phone is big.

Yes I found it. https://www.candyapplecostumes.com/fo64240.htmlBut did people really ware this? I spent the 70/80’s Disco era, in the Military, we had a different color of green.

That elf’s expression is priceless

For over a year at least half the suits in my local macy’s have sported a loud check pattern of one type or another. Something I dubbed “The Jimmy Olsen Collection” and according to the staff they aren’t shifting.

Garfield will scratch it up real good

If there’s any left, they’ll have to look in the “For Jon Arbuckle Only” pile.

Hmm.. lemme first check with the Bee Gee’s. If not, I’ll call Elton John and John Travolta.

Lime green polyester? That sounds like a fate worse than getting coal.

lol

Tell me again what Liz sees in this Goober??

Hey…..don’t make fun of the way I dress ! ;-)

YES, Santa the warehouse is full of them. We can finally empty it and give them all to him.

Someone really needs to get it through Jon’s head that the clothes he wears are just absolutely abysmal and that he needs a better fashion sense. I bet maybe Jon could probably take some fashion lessons from Zidgel (from “3-2-1 Penguins!”). He may have been a little vain, but at least he had a better sense of fashion than Jon does.

Sure why not? The elf wears green and Santa’s smartphone is green.

After his death, my husband’s vintage mint green leisure suit was donated to the high school drama department. They loved it!!

“Of course, of the 76 we gave out, 75 were returned.”

Still on a ship off the California coast.

No Jon, NO!!!

Lime green is one of my favorite colors. I have several tops that color. I bet Jon would look good in lime green.

For his wedding last summer my son wore a lime green dress shirt with his black kilt. He was able to find color-matched polo shirts for the groomsmen. Although I was doubtful, it actually worked with his bride’s black and mauve color scheme. No confusing them with any traditional wedding party.

Every style seems to have their day even the horrible ones of the 70’s such as ridiculously wide lapels, shirt collars and ties, platform shoes, plaid bell bottom pants and, of course, leisure suits. Thankfully, they run their course and sanity returns.

Ah, a rare Garfield Minus Garfield comic.

Look in the back in the Iowa, Kentucky shelves…I bet they have a couple…

And maybe even a couple of Nile Green Gabardine ones, if they weren’t allSold out for “Prom Night”…

Hotcha!…

It’s a “Garfield-Minus-Garfield” made by Davis himself and not by a fan!

My first wife sewed me a nice green 3-piece polyester suit following a McCall’s pattern. Being a good boy, I agreed to wear the suit on a cross country plane trip to see her parents that Christmas. You should have seen their faces when I stepped into the terminal…

Green polyester suits were only slightly less ugly back in the early 80’s…

Tons,,,,

Yo Santa is looking weird

Fashion is a way to communicate, Jon’s fashion is a babbling idiot.

Leisure suits are back?
