Garfield by Jim Davis for November 16, 2023

That work being “retired”.

If only napping can pay you at least $1,000/hr.

Glad to know he has no plans of retiring.

“Work”

It’s not work if you enjoy it. It’s not a job if you don’t get paid. He’s a volunteer or a hobbyist.

The kind of job everybody wants.

You may call it work, Garfield, but Jon calls it lazy, there’s no denying it.

No need to RE-tire, you’ve got a permanent one in your belly !

The inventor of “Quiet Quitting”.

nice work if you can get it

It takes a lot of work to be lazy…

If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.

I was going to make a joke about Garfield being tired but I couldn’t find one that was both funny and made sense

I have friends and relatives like that, they could retire now but continue to keep on working into their seventies, and always an excuse, I have to finish training a guy , or just one more year, they drive me nuts. I retired as soon as I could and never looked back. Life is good.Work to live, not Live to work.

Is this actually Garfield talking, or is it a message from Jim Davis?

I retired at 65…best job I’ve ever had! I’ve been at it for 3 years now! ;-)

Using the same drawing for three panels does take a lot out of a person. Or cat.

Why retire when you can run the same strip again and again?

Makes sense

I had the opposite problem. Couldn’t wait to retire and I absolutely do not miss working at all

If only you could get paid for napping…

I guess that’s the ideal life. I know retired ministers who keep right on preaching, teaching, counseling and/or guiding churches, though not full time. And I, find myself preaching more than in the nonretirement years. And though my preaching doesn’t earn me any financial compensation, it does provide a level of fulfillment unsurpassed.

almost 8 years for me, loving it

And he’s good at what he “does.”

… this feels more real than I think they intended.

can garfield be fired for too much overtime?

Said nobody ever

Everyone is good at something.

Nice work if you can get it.

Me, I got to wait till I’m 70 before I can retire.

Hey Garfield, you enjoy your work too much because you don’t have any.

We enjoy your work, too, Garfield.
