Garfield by Jim Davis for June 12, 2022

Only a week away now.

I bet Garfield was trying to walk to the kitchen

YEP, I know how you’re feeling, Garfield … Even I get that way myself.

I like how Garfield’s walk cycle is just him swiping one foot on the ground

I was born in 1977, a year AFTER ,the Garfield Comic was published.

So Even I’m an old bugger myself.

I was so pleased when I went in to a room and remembered why I went in there. It was the bathroom, but still…….

It’s called the Doorway effect

No matter where you go, there you are.

Sums it up nicely!

Birthday’s ahead, day after day

And we slowly go old’n’ insane

I read your words on the way

But it doesn’t stop the laughter, hey

If I see you next to ever

Hope you can stay forever?

Wherever you go, even when you don’t know

I will be right here waiting for you…

(With apologies to Richard Marx)

You’re not even middle aged.

Doctor asks, “do you ever think about the hereafter? I said yes, every time I walk into a room, I say to myself what am I here after.”

You can’t be there Garfield. You aren’t at your bed or at the fridge yet and those are the only places you go, well except for where you GO and that is rarely, if ever mentioned, in the comic

Forgetting why you went into a room isn’t a problem, unless it’s the bathroom.

Hmmm. Garfield was either walking towards the living room, going to the kitchen or going to bed. So he had 3 choices.

I don’t think forgetting why or where you are going is any sign of getting old. As I forgot where or why I was going at age 18. I just did not care.

First Broomhilda and now Garfield.

It’s to a point where I never know why I’m going where I’m going. I have to trust I’ll figure it out when I get there. And it’s no big deal if I don’t.

Maybe Garfield was trying to walk to the living room or maybe it was the kitchen?

On a magnet: I came, I saw, I forgot what I was doing and now I have to go pee.

I can leave something in a room, leave said room, come back in and forget where I left it. Is that just me or is that universal?

Been there done that.

We old timers hear you Garf

I hate opening the refrigerator and then wondering what I was looking for.

Have you ever thought of getting a hand-held reminder to remind you about these things, Garfield?

Garfield, the first cat that should carry a memo book to remind what he is supposed to do, where and when.

He needs the GPS from Flo and Friends LOL

YUP !

The fridge Garfield

See the tweet of yesterday, there’s some great replies.

“You have reached your destination…” [Siri voice]

I stand on Roomba and let it decide where I’m going

I know THAT song!

I do this online. Right I’m on Wikipedia, now… what was I going to look up?

Garfield is having a senior moment. Next week, Garfield’s Big Day!

Memory issues aren’t fun.

actually, idk what the room formation in this house is? Is it like 1000 rooms?

Garfield is one old kitty.

C’mon, Garfield. It’s the refrigerator. It’s always the refrigerator.
