Garfield by Jim Davis for September 03, 2023

Two full moons. Because why not? They’re both bright and pretty.

AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

At the same time?!!!

There was 2 full moons in August.

Once in two blue moons eh.

Two years from now I’m going to look at this and lauuuuuuuugh.

The last time I saw a second moon raising, was when I had the plumber in the house at a full moon evening…

The power of Odie shocked me! I did not see that coming.

Then when he’s found who he’s looking for

Listen in awe and you’ll hear him

Bark at the moon

The tide is high. And confused…..

Odie found his own moon to howl at but he didn’t have to move so it doesn’t do Garfield and Arlene any good.

Odie howling at the moon because he doesn’t have a date, too.

Odie’s barking, at the wrong side of the moon.

Fair play Mr Davis, I did NOT see that one coming

They’re on Mars. Jupiter has a lot of moons, but the atmosphere is always terrible for seeing them.

Odie obeyed. Simple.

Doughnuts seem like a good idea right now…

That’s no moon…

“QUIET, ODIE! GO HOWL AT YOUR OWN MOON!”

(senses an unusual appearance of the speaker of this part of the dialogue of this cartoon)

The wonderful BBC program QI has posed the question “how many moons does the Earth have” more than once, and given a different answer each time ;-) Here’s a compilation… >

Odie the third wheel

Blue Moon of Kentucky by Bill Monroe…

Not so much of a beautiful evening isn’t it?

Score one for the dogs… for having a moon all to himself.

A whole moon for Odie alone? That fence must be on Mars or something.

… The Werewolf of London

Thought odie would serenade

Where did that come from?

Miss…don’t you know yet to not even try to discuss his “logic”?

That’s not a moon. That’s a space station.

“Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone/Without a dream in my heart/Without a love of my own.”

“Howl at the moon, shoot out the lights. It’s a small town Saturday night.” (Hal Ketchum)

Life in the parallel universe!

Finally a cute one, great art too!…

Has Arlene’s head always spun all the way around?Am I just now noticing?

LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE!!!

Facing away? Gotta think this one over… (I do see that there are two moons. (Super moon!) Hmmmm….

He was howling on a fence annoying his friend who said get your moon so that’s what he didOdie, O-O-O-Odie to the tune of Lola

Only in a cartoon

Two moons. Better than Two Suns in the Sunset.

Odie has probably never heard the expression “Three’s a crowd.”

Odie moonin’ and a’ croonin’. What an entertainer!

And JUST when Garfield was finally in a romantic mood with Arlene.

C-C-COMIC SANS IN THE TITLE PANEL!

Well, if one looks at a near object with a far object in the background with both eyes open, one appears double depending on which is being focused on, so we the “viewer” are focusing on Garf, Arlene and Odie, so the moon is double.

Odie should get a female poodle named petunia!!

Old Bill Mauldin cartoon, “Lovely view. Is there one for the enlisted men?”

Garfield you will have to share the moon with Odie because there is only one moon

No wonder Idalia was so strong.

Both the pets belonging to Jon carry their their own moon. And for that matter, their own sunshine. Arlene you are naive.

A Sunday comic with Garfield, Arlene AND Odie is very unusual! Nice to see!And I love how Nermal’s birthday was ignored!
