Garfield by Jim Davis for September 24, 2009

You know what they say: practice makes purr-fect.

Yeh, your purr and your fur.

That “cat” just lost a life and a few legs.

A purr-fect swat.

It got swatted because: 1) Too many legs, 2) It tried to imitate Nermal.

Can’t do a purrrrrrrrfect cat, you insane spider.

Hey Spider! Try making an Odie mask

Why don’t you spiders just stay out of Garfield’s way? You might live longer.

Garfield sure took the air out of that arachnid! Who’s with me?

Warning to all spiders…Garfield’s got a newspaper and he’s not afraid to use it!!!!

Please, not when he’s reading the newspaper!

LOL, That shows my feelings toward Spiders (even the ones that wear a Cat Mask)!!

odie_petter said …..try making an Odie mask.

…so not only will the spider get squashed, but then booted off the table too. :)

Randyt8: From yesterday. Marvel Comics “Captain Marvel” had nothing to do with Shazam. He was an alien character who lived and died in another world. You’re thinking of DC’s Captain Marvel who said “Shazam” to change between Billy Batson & the Cap. Shazam is the name of the wizard who gave him his powers and an acronym of several mythological and legendary heroes with whose powers he was endowed. (The only one I remember for sure is Zeus and I think Hercules, Atlas and Mercury are in there too.) The good Captain also had Mary Marvel (his sister) and Captain Marvel Junior, whose magic word was “Captain Marvel” and who was crippled in “real” life. When DC did a comic of this hero (after they bought the copyright from another defunct comic company) they called it “Shazam” instead of “Captain Marvel” to avoid confusion with Marvel’s character. All of these characters have been used in DC’s continuity over the years and have shown up in various publications including Superman and Batman.

Is that what that was?

Alas! That should be a Halloween swatted costume! Wait till Halloween Day comes next month.

In Garfield’s opinion, would that be more, less or equally annoying than Nermal?

SAVE GMG!!!!

S-Solomon - Wisdom H-Hercules - Strength A-Achilles - Imvunrabilty (even spell check couldn’t help) Z-Zeus - Power (I think) A-Atlas - Stamina M-Mercury - Speed

Hope my memory is working.

Second post: Spiders & snakes get a bad rep anyway. We all know where snakes problems came from. But the spider, I don’t know. My sister in her youth would SCREEM a spider to death. Ear plugs suggested.

Spiders beware.

JanCinVV, yeah you’re right it’s been years since I’ve read comic books so I simply got them confused. Thanks.

phhhhhhhhht
