Garfield by Jim Davis for September 01, 2023

Because who doesn’t love a goofball?

Good thing, because you won’t change.

Of course, Jon is one of the most famous people on the planet, thanks to how popular Garfield is

And we love Garfield just the way he is; poor (because if Jon is, he is too) and popular

I’d rather be rich an anonymous, the birds can have the fame.

What do she see in this loser is beyond understanding. Maybe he heir to lotsa farm lands eh.

But jon is a cartoonist

I wouldn’t mind being rich. I don’t ever want to be famous.

May not be rich and famous but he does have a big kind heart and he always means well. A trait not to common these days.

Liz didn’t answer Jon. He asked “Would you love me more if I was rich and famous?” and she replied, “I love you just as you are.” She didn’t say that she wouldn’t love him more if he was rich and famous. I presume she meant that it didn’t matter but she didn’t actually say so.

Jon in our universe is rich and famous but he has the name “Mark Zuckerburg” instead of Jon here.

I wonder which one of the regulars to this comment section is the most rich and famous. I am probably the most poor, I comment on a smashed Samsung Galaxy s2 powered by connecting wires to a lamp post and bootlegging the electricity. I live in a bin but still wear my suit every day.

She should have worn blue lipstick with that top

Romantic is a true gift

Love is blind…..

“I love you just the way you are.”

Liz might be a Billy Joel fan.

If Liz’s standards are low, then what does that say about Arlene’s?

aw garf, dont ruin the cute moment lol

“Gee, Jon, how can I answer that question? You want to become rich and famous so I can find out?”

Never underestimate a Billy Joel lyric.

I guess that Liz likes a good laugh from time to time.

Why…were you planning on becoming rich and famous sometime soon, Jon?

Jon, marry her before she changes her mind

Actually, Jon appears to be a bit rich and just enough famous. He makes cartooning profitable enough to care for a fat cat, puppy, a mess of mice, some spiders and the occasional visit by Liz and Nermal. I’d say he was doing right well.

Awww… that’s so heartwarming…

Until someone rich and famous comes along.

Sounds like a Billy Joel song

I think Liz is being Phair

Well Elon Musk he ain’t , but you could still do better!

You know what they say, Jon, money can’t buy happiness.

Rich guy: if we didn’t have wealth, would you still love me?

Wife: of course I will. I’d miss you though….

and with NO CHANCES EVER of him cheating on her…

Whoa! The background and the countertop are totally different colors!

Liz quoting Billy Joel.

If it wasn’t for Garfield’s food and repair bills, Jon would be loaded.

“Oh, by the way, they’re coming to take me away, ha ha.”

Jon definitely out kicked his coverage with Liz

If Jon was rich, what would he spend his money on, I wonder?

If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here.

And I love this contorted but affectionate family.

MARRY that woman!

Marry her quick……

Jon has a happy, contented smile.

I do notice that Liz sidestepped his question.

I’ll bet the last strip will be Jon & Liz getting married . <3

Although the Four Yorkshiremen sketch predates Monty Python and originally featured Cleese, Chapman, Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor, who wrote the bulk of it (it was credited to all four).

To be honest – no repeated artwork this time, generally just the way of life. I do like how this one gives off the simplicity of Seinfeld, and yet it quite shows Liz’s love of Jon. Quite good overall, I’d give this one a solid 7/10

That’s sweet Liz.

Point, Garfield. But Jon gets the win.

first day of September this year!

Literally what I was told during a breakup twenty years ago. The part about being more rich and famous, that is. The rest of the conversation did not last long after that…
