Episode 56: A Podcast With No Subliminal Messages
August 13, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/08/13 Once again, we go all round the houses. In this episode, Guy approaches the point of seriously enraging Cat by insisting that this is a Poptarts podcast, the concept of irritating compound swears is briefly raised before never being actually discussed, and there is an extended discussion about being creative, and working hard to quiet that awful voice inside you that tells you it's not worth bothering with. also Garfield, and a suspiciously booblike series of protuberances...

Episode 55: Psychogeography, and making the familiar strange.
August 12, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/08/12 Here we are again! In this episode Cat and Guy discuss how landscapes can become re-haunted through communal art, the transformative and democratising powers of shitposts on corporate intellectual properties, whether Ronald McDonald was a man or a Clown, and the dangers of accidentally willing John Constantine into being and him giving you a god telling off. We also talk about a Garfield, but there's honestly not much there.

Episode 54: The Ultimate Reckon
August 11, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/08/11 Honestly, there were many things that I wanted to touch on in this episode, and predictably not a single gosh darn thing was discussed. There was the briefest bit of Bigfoot chat, but honestly not enough to satiate. In this episode we talk about artistic integrity, the nature of criticism, and Guy and Cat have a "spirited debate" which ends with no clear winner or conclusion. We also discuss a new kind of chocolate bar, and the single most useless comment in the history of the internet. Additionally, a dog does a fall off a table.

Episode 53: Cat Needs To Go To Her Oil Painting Class
August 10, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/08/10 Fifty three episodes in, and what have we learned? Nothing, if I have anything to say about it. This weeks episode covers Guy and Cat being formlessly mardy, Guy's treatment for a Muppets Bond movie, the value and purpose of a Batman, the concept of "Uncle Jokes", and Cat needing to go to her oil painting class. Honourable mention also goes to the Garfield strip we review, which is somehow not without its charm.

Episode 52: How would YOU trick Alan Sugar?
August 09, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/08/09 Episode 52! A whole calendar year (if you listen to one episode per week) of Garfield review podcasting! If only my teachers who said I'd never amount to anything could see me now. I'm sure they'd be delighted to be proven correct in ways they'd never imagined. This episode discusses Why Do Parents Make You Think Someone Has Died By Leaving Several Missed Calls, sweet ranking, the hauntology of videogames, tricking Alan Sugar, and a cat being cross at a merry dog. How would YOU trick Alan Sugar? I genuinely want to know. Please tweet at us, and I'll see if I can remember to read some out next episode.

Episode 51: A Certain Degree Of Audio Inconvenience
August 08, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/08/08 Episode 51 and it's Cat's minus sixth birthday. As with all August 8ths, something terrible is brought into the world. In this episode, a new game of fruits and colours is played, point-and-click adventure games are ruminated upon, the Flintstones movie is danced around, and the comic sees the very first appearance of Odie The Dog.

Episode 50: I'm Talking About Cheesemouth
August 07, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/08/07 Episode 50! Bloody hell! Fifty whole episodes, and we celebrate by...having Catherine slander Guy about his taste in food. If you're not a fan of food discussion, skip to about 40m to avoid the majority of it. In this episode we also cover: A dog stealing a slice of cake, briefly touch on the idea of fooling Alan Sugar, and the introduction of a key player in the Garfield canon. Sort of.

Episode 49: A yoghurt's understanding of mathematics
August 06, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/08/06 Oooh it's a long one today, and Guy has had too much coffee. This is a podcast about homilies, the inherent absurdity of existence (again), what a square number is, and also the brieftest of forays into what exactly constitutes a shitpost vs a troll. We also read a letter from a listener, and eventually talk about Garfield.
