Garfield by Jim Davis for February 11, 2024

It’s 12:07 when I’m writing this

And what talent they have!

Letter’s get out of here….

They have the talent all right

Now it’s time for them to shuffle off to Buffalo.

He’s back! How many years hasn’t it been since we last saw the mailman in a Garfield comic?

I want to mention mail service, commercials now tell us how USPS has improved service! Took 12 days to get a check from Ocklawaha FL to Leesburg FL. I could walk there faster. Took also 12 days for a letter from my home to VA? Stop Improving!

I like the day after Valentine’s, when the chocolate goes on sale!

Talent, or lack of same.

Most people no longer watch talent shows.

No one watches Talent shows anymore. They’ve died out.

Whatever, Jon, that camera can entertain a stadium full of audience.

And they is gones viral on YouTube too.

Odie was putting on the dog.

Anyone remember Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine from the Gong Show? In this case it’s Arlene, Arlene, the Dancing Machine.

I thought at first that Garfield’s dancing was a reference to his animated TV show. Perhaps it was and we were meant to get the reference as well as the security camera punchline.

At least Jon knows that the mailman is goofing around and not delivering the mail.

I can’t help noticing “famed” accordion player Jon isn’t joining in…

Thank goodness it’s Jon and not Simon Cowell…

I love seeing Odie and Arlene dancing together. I think it looks cute.

Aw come on, Jon, it’s cute!

I see the Garfield Show is starting up again or a new intro.

The only thing missing is the theme to “Garfield and Friends.”

Is Stan “making it rain” letters, or are they just flying out of bag from his jumping?

Should do that with my cam

Even Garfield has a musical episode now.

(senses a very detailed cartoon)

Whenever I pass a certain house in the neighborhood and the camera “Hi. You are being recorded” I put on a show.

LOL!!

Why can’t this be the Halftime Show tonight?

Its been years since we’ve seen the mailman. And I think that’s that first time I’ve ever seen Arlene dance like that

Good variety show!

This is more like American Deli cuz everyone’s a ham!

Did Jon only set up that security camera to spy on Garfield in case he terrorizes the neighborhood or does any other bad deeds? Also, I assume Jon was thinking about putting Garfield in the garage or something if he catches him doing those deeds?

Wow, this is a great strip, 9/10.

I love how the mice are staged before their big entrance

Garfield’s only talent is eating.

Have we seen Stan before?

With a subtle nod to The Gong Show in the process. Good one.

I’m surprised Garfield isn’t being a terror to the mailman for once.

anyone else notice Odie giving Arlene a look in the second to last panel?

Wait a minute – the mailman…. THAT’S LYMAN!

I love the mice peeking over the stairs in panel 6 (bottom left).

He’s got everyone

Bonus points to Garfield, Odie, Stan, Arlene and the mice…

Love the show on your security vamera

This works better if Garfield dressed like Chuck Barris, with a huge hat.

This is the most elaborate trap for the mailman I’ve ever seen him try.

Notice the screen image is the same as the image before!

Poor Jon
