Garfield by Jim Davis for November 26, 2023

But Garfield changed not only Jon’s life, but ours as well! Another thing to be thankful for!

A nod to the new movie, perhaps?

Happy and content he did not get like you think until he got a cat

I love how Garfield’s vocabulary gets higher and higher.

“….but you spiced it up.”

jon has a cat, not a life

The truth is that Garfield is right.

Truth hurts

How did Jon’s life change, he’s still most of those things. Although he does have pets.

That’s an interesting thought. What would my life be without my doggie. Well, for one thing, I’d be a way better gardener. Since Ellie came, I’ve had to eliminate row crops in my garden. Ellie likes to roll around on small plants. Which means goodbye okra, bush beans, watermelons, squash, and my greens. But, still, with climate change, my production of veggies was off quite a bit, anyway, and Ellie is a real hoot playing with her bleach bottles.

Interesting rendering of Garfield in the title panel…

Garfield has been into the synonyms again.

I imagine that if there was an 8th panel Garfield would say “…wait, what’s the difference to now?”

If, by sarcasm, you mean the truth, well, yeah!

There’s no place for me to have a vegetable garden, but my perennial garden is coming along nicely.

Jon used to be able to leave things on flat surfaces without them getting knocked off

This cartoon can’t be real. We never see Jon cleaning the litter box.

Well fed…

Alright, who gave the cat at thesaurus?

True story. ‘bout 40 years or so, ago, I needed job history for a job I wanted. I was young and stupid- REALLY stupid- and put down I had worked for the Mundane Corporation. Couldn’t figure out why they never called.

One can make an argument that it still is all those things. Garfield’s life, however…

Sunday Is Church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!):<

That’s just like Garfield to start going into a Hurricane of Euphemisms (with regards to TVTropes).

I don’t think that he’s being sarcastic.

Cats do impact your life if you give back to them. I miss my feral cats that I befriended, and enjoyed their company. Unfortunately the cars did not “miss” them, now they are gone.

Garfield’s gone from bad to words.

I had money before you came along and ate me out of house and home.

Garfield is the king of sarcasm.

Garfield’s speaking of cat people in general in addition to Jon…

Calm, predictable, uncomplicated, content, pleasant, hopeful, …

Quick, do the Heimlich maneuver! The poor cat has swallowed Roget’s Thesaurus!

(And I’m sure Mr. Roget wants it back.)

All those and peaceful.

humans don’t have cats, we humbly bask in their presence

Sunday Means Church

I feel like this comic’s been done, nearly panel for panel, before.
