How’s about talking to Doc Boy

Now I miss dad!

4th panel Garfield says get to the important stuff, what she fixing for Christmas dinner?

It time to visit the farm eh.

Completely off topic—what has happened to Garfield Classics? It’s been removed from my lineup; if you click on one of the boxes below here, it says not found. Any insights?

Such caring parents.

His dip stick shows he’s about a quart low.

That is so true. Even after I turned 50, Dad would still ask me such questions. I’d give anything if he were still around to ask them again.

That feels like Jon’s dad’s way of saying I love you

“Wouldn’t want anything to happen to you on your way to visit us!”

His father has proper priorities.

Dad’s not far off about checking your pressure in cold weather!

“FEEL THE LOVE”

(imagines a different version of this part of the dialogue of this cartoon)

THAT’S LOVE

(imagines a different version of this cartoon involving a digital telephone resembling an analogue telephone (without a screen))

It’s those incidental things that say love!

There’s more than one way to express parental love.

Lol!! My dad does the same thing with me

lol

“When is MOT due” is the thing I get or “When did you get it serviced last?”, my Dad doesn’t like the police.

A dad who really cares. Tire pressure is an important safety concern.

I wonder how Liz would react to that conversation?

awww…such…“sweetness”…

in the farm they don’t put much air

What kind of gas mileage do you expect to get driving up here for the holiday?

Dads remember the important stuff.

“Don’t forget to let the tires cools before measuring.”

“Right, Dad.”

“Try to get quality air from a good service station.”

“Sure, Dad.”

“And don’t forget the spare.”

“Spa.. Um, right, Dad.”

Well my right front tire does need air.

Dad joke! (Um, joke about dads, anyway…)

When my Dad notices one of my tires are low he will get my spare key and take it to get air, he also cleans off the snow from it. and keeps wet leaves away from it knowing that I have balamce issues and could fall on the wet leaves, he even takes it to get inspected for me. I am so lucky to have a Dad like him.

Truth!
