Garfield by Jim Davis for August 20, 2024

Good idea Garfield

I hate exercise and exercise isn’t too crazy about me.

So what’s your excuse for hating it

It doesn’t take me 30 minutes to hate it, I can hate it inside of 5 minutes.

Maybe, but you don’t have to do anything to hate being fat.

They say if you exercise every day then you’ll live longer. But the time you spend exercising could be spent doing other things like say, enjoying your life. So in the long term does 30 minutes of daily self torture really improve your life at all?

(just saying… )

Garfild more like red pilled

I can do it in 15.

Currently wearing my t-shirt with a T. rex chasing a stick man and the legend “Exercise – Some motivation required”. I once wore it to a physio session, The nurse (Never met her before) was a massive woman and took it personally. Oops!

I personally like walking, but i have to do it every day anyways

Worked wholesale counter at a parts store 20 years ago. About 25 steps to second floor. I go up and them more than 50 times a day. At a doctor visit she ask do i do any exercising, I told her up and down those steps, she replied is that all you do!? You need to do more.

All you need to do is not exercise 30 minutes a day to eventually regret it, health wise.

I mean, if you can manage 30 minutes before hating it you probably deserve a medal

Davis should exercise his pencil more, he is lazy

So very true. That is why I only exercise 10 minutes a day.

Like drawing one panel and copy-and-pasting and just changing the thought bubble.

I can’t say I like exercising, but getting out of the house and socializing a bit with the guys I know at the gym/pool/locker room helps a lot.

We have to walk the terriers and tuxedos separately because one of each pair is reactive. Working on the behavior, but it’s a slow process. So, we get lots of walking in.

You don’t need 30 minutes. All you need is a flight of stairs.

Garfield is speaking, hypothetically!

Sorry Garfield, apparently you need 29 minutes more than I do to hate exercise.

Garfield, there must be some kind of exercise that you’ll like, something that involves food, like chasing the ice cream truck or the pizza delivery truck.

I enjoy my Zumba classes and walking when the weather gets cooler.

I’ve heard that the brain has a function where it produces dopamine when you exercise. Garfield appears to lack that function.

As a Cross Country runner, I also usually run in under that time

Garfield is right. Also that “No Pain No Gain” stuff , If it hurts I ain’t doing it. I live in the 21st Century, I do the Jetsons finger exercises, it is a push button world after all!

Jon: Work out! Work out! That’s what it’s gonna take!

Garfield: Cook out! Cook out! How bout a great big steak?

- Song from Garfield and Friends episode “Weighty Problem”

I can accomplish the same result in half the time…or on a good (or bad?) day even less.

Walking’s (and climbing stairs constantly) the only exercise I’ve ever gotten and it seems to have sufficed.

i’ll take your word for it

Stairclimbing a couple of times a day…

I can do it in less than that

Actually, for me, it takes only one minute!

Garfield when did you ever exercise
