Garfield by Jim Davis for July 16, 2024

“It’s a secret to everybody!”

Well earned new batteries, the old ones had had enough. (waiting for correctors)

Extortion is an ugly word. Accurate—but ugly.

Garfield can just remove the batteries you have, and be done with it

“One at a time, please”……

Maybe if it didn’t yap so much, the battery would last longer.

Don’t get new batteries and the secret will also be safe.

The great danger of artificial intelligence. You can’t make machines too smart.

And Garfield thought he could get a weigh with it.

… aaand everyone else reading this comic… sorry Garfield!

or negotiations depending on how one looks at it.

Just threaten that scale with a massive mallet, and that would get it to shut up.

Probably worth the payoff…

You don’t know how to keep a secret!

“Listen to my demands or I’ll gain MORE weight and THEN step on you!”

Like you’ve never tried similar with Jon

Dang, those are the angriest-looking angry eyes I’ve seen from Garfield in like, forever!

No new batteries, nothing to worry about.

Of course.

Takes one to know one.

Garfield versus the Machines.

lol

Reminds me of a classic “Garfield” that also mentions extortion …
