Garfield by Jim Davis for March 15, 2022

Count me in!

“uh sir, is that going to be in the test?”

Actually it is impossible to do nothing. Try it sometime, the very act of trying to do nothing means you’re not doing nothing.

It’s better to be at peace, than starting a war.

It’s easy for Garf.

Cats always pass that test with flying colors.

A comic strip about nothing.

I can tell

That sums up the writers of this strip perfectly – they do absolutely nothing with their brilliant main character, insulting the readers with idiotic gags about food and sleeping instead of bothering to actually do something creative. How about a story arc in which Jon and Garfield set off to find Lyman? Or one in which Jon endeavours to find his yokelish brother Doc Boy a girlfriend? Wouldn’t you rather see these characters used in storylines where something actually happens and they are placed in, and respond to, various situations?

Same here. Wait…doesn’t EVERYBODY. Yet again, the teacher is lazy so if we just have to sleep for a few hours, Garfield is right about it being a breeze.

That means no looking at your phone.

I would get something softer than a table. It’ll make you more of a master.

I’m reminded of the IT course I did with no exams at all, it was certainly preferable to my English Literature degree

Oh goodie finally land my dream job of getting paid $1500 for a nap

Cram for the Exam

And Jim Davis says “Welcome to my master class in cutting and pasting a cartoon panel so I only have to draw it once”.

Since where on the topic of classes, what’s your favorite class

Finally! A class that appeals to my insane laziness.

I’ve got a feeling that Jon would fail that class if he took it.

How do I get in?

he already lost points, he is talking during it.

Sometimes also called a snoozefest.

Extra credit points if you fall asleep before the instructor starts talking?

you have to not revise to pass

Not that easy, Garfield. I recall Bud Abbott explaining to Lou Costello what hard work loafing was.

Can I sleep in for it?

Very smart move on the part of the illustrator to use a thought bubble instead of a word bubble. To outsiders, they would not hear Garfield speaking and it would appear as though he was really doing nothing. They may be concerned that he is sick.

If you show up to the final for this class, you automatically fail.
