Garfield by Jim Davis for June 27, 2010

LOL! Garfields never looked better than he does right now.

They’re not as easy to kill as spiders are they Garfield?

It looks like Garfield’s going to lose another one of his lives.

I’d say get OUT of there, FAST.

This is one of the best strips ever.

As the saying goes, “The hand is often quicker than the eye is, but slower than the fly is”.

And this ones going to fly fly fly away like Cheerios onto a table top …

Good one. Get that fly at all costs. I hate the things as much as Garfield.

Spiders, not so much. Let’s have more fly wars.

Hey Garfield !!! You need more practice To be a perfect tennis athlete With your forehand and backhand strokes Start by getting yourself a good coach And maybe by then you can hit your target. And regroup yourself for another set.

Oops! I laughed so hard I woke the baby!

Garfield is in fine form for Wimbledon.

I betcha Jon will say angrily, “I’m going to KILL YOU for messing around me with that fly and fly swapper! GARFIELD!”

X-D Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaa….. Priceless!

I love slapstick so, so, much.

Adorable logo panel, too.

Soooo,, Garfield does have a great killer instinct, just not good aim. The secret to swatting flies is to aim behind them as a sitting fly takes off backwards.

One exception is the Republican fly which always goes to the right.

LOL!!

This kind of mayhem is what makes garfield so darned funny! Jim Davis hasn’t lost his touch even after all these years. ROTF

I used to catch them in my hand but they are a lot faster today.

Actually, a fly will take off away from a perceived threat; front, back, or side: “Scientist at Caltech have discovered why oh why one of the most basic artifacts on earth, the looming swatter, fails against its winged nemesis, the fly. In fact, using high-resolution, high-speed digital imaging, they have found out what’s the secret to the fly’s 100 milliseconds evasive maneuvering. For example, the videos showed that if the descending swatter—actually, a 14-centimeter-diameter black disk, dropping at a 50-degree angle toward a fly standing at the center of a small platform—comes from in front of the fly, the fly moves its middle legs forward and leans back, then raises and extends its legs to push off backward. When the threat comes from the back, however, the fly (which has a nearly 360-degree field of view and can see behind itself) moves its middle legs a tiny bit backwards. With a threat from the side, the fly keeps its middle legs stationary, but leans its whole body in the opposite direction before it jumps.”

Hee, hee! I foresee a long nap after all of this physical activity.

Lol at the last panel

This one is funny!!!

Good one!

@Justice22: What about the Democratic fly, which always takes off to the left?

Maybe you should be worried more about the WASP that always takes off dead center…right at whoever attacks it.

Want a bigger and stronger fly swatter Garfield??

I can’t imagine him being so bothered about it in the first place!

Love it : )

This is one evasive fly

Hahahaha, Garfield needs practice.

Garfield will kill the fly, then Jon will kill Garfield.

I drop laughing on “HA HA HA” the…floor

The spectrum in the marquee panel is genius. And beautiful! Well done!

Pretty rainbow
