Garfield by Jim Davis for May 28, 2024

Unfortunately.

Yeah, I’ve noticed.

Life is unfair.

I’m just amazed you managed to lose a pound……..

Eh me no wants to lose weight anyways.

So it takes you two seconds? It happens to me every time I go back for seconds!

Palpatine: “Goood. It is useless to resist that donut. You will gain a few pounds, my apprentice”.

That smile in panel 2 didn’t last too long.

Yes, yes I have

Here’s how this should have been worded:

First panel: “Ever notice how it takes two weeks to lose a pound…”

Third panel: “…and only two seconds to gain it back?”

Jim left out the question mark and the dots.

Crash un-dieting. The joy of failure.

I hate when that happens.

Right.

Ozempic for cats! Hopefully never.Don’t treat pets as humans. It is inhumane.

I don’t even have to eat the donut to gain the weight. Just walking past a bakery will do it. It’s like just smelling baked goods can put the weight on.

(senses a scientific experiment in this cartoon)

I’m going to see The Garfield Movie today!

No truer words spoken.

I have the opposite problem – work 2 weeks to gain one pound, then do grocery shopping and lose not only the gained pound, but also 2-3 bonus pounds. OY!

Just watched the new Garfield movie yesterday. Thoughts?

I suppose that is annoying. The moral of the story: dieting is futile.

Yep.

It takes 30 days to developed a new good habit, and only 30 seconds to revert to the old bad habit.

Well, Garfield, now you know the reason why.

He just has a neverending love affair with food.

Yes, Garfield. I do know that. And, at our ages, it just gets harder.

That’s the struggle.

Yes!!

Even easier to gain a pound than losing it.

I definitely do. It’s very disheartening

ah, such is life, my friend

Ahem, weight goes up like a rocket and down like a feather.

GRAMMAR ERROR? IN GARFIELD? gasps in disgust

Every single day, Garfield, every single day :-(

TOUGH!!

Such as the power of calorie

I feel you Garfield, I lost about 10-15 pounds over the early winter right after my sister died because I couldn’t eat and was only eating because I needed it and I also had to eat with my diabeties meds but the last 2 months I have been back to my stress eating and gave gained them back, I still have days where I don’t want to eat but not as bad as November-March.

Yes, and yes.

Ain’t that the truth.
