Episode 70 - Sunday, August 27, 1978
In today's strip, Jon Arbuckle puts Garfield on a diet, a funny enough one-off gag that will never probably never be referenced again. We also discuss floor-sitting, #where'slyman?, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, #panel2, cat jowls, and Jon Arbuckle's lost years as a member of the Weather Underground.Today's strip

Episode 69 - Saturday, August 26, 1978
In today's episode, Jon brags that he's "seen cats use the litter box before." Okay, Mr. Big-City-Sophistication, we get it: you're worldly and cosmopolitan. You don't have to rub it in our goddamned faces by "casually" dropping the fact that you own at least one trivet. Oh, and today's strip was actually pretty good -- a welcome relief after yesterday's, which was a real dog's breakfast.Today's strip

Episode 68 - Friday, August 25, 1978
In today's episode, a week that had opened so promisingly, and then soured with Thursday's disappointing installment, finally becomes what -- let's face it -- we all knew that it would: yet another unbearable slog through -- what shall we call it? -- the, imagination(?) of Jim Davis. No, "imagination" is definitely not the right word for this one.Today's strip

Episode 66 - Wednesday, August 23, 1978
This isn't strictly on-topic, but you know what? A lot of disco is actually really great! I mean, sure, the Bee-Gees were pretty lame, but check out Evelyn "Champagne" King.Or, hey, what about this classic number?And you know who's actually under-rated? Early Michael Jackson, that's who!Eh? Anyway, today's strip references disco.

Episode 65 - Tuesday, August 22, 1978
Today's episode features references to Odysseus and Saint Augustine, a mild disagreement about Zen Buddhism, exploration of the nature of evil, genuine non-sarcastic appreciation of Jim Davis' craftsmanship, and a second appearance of the popular new catchphrase "licking our own assholes". What more could you ask for?Today's strip:

Episode 64 - Monday, August 21, 1978
The humor in today's strip results from a cognitive impasse, a momentary epistemological difficulty, in which the subject perceives that Social Being itself suddenly appears no longer to be real in any factual or normative sense. When this occurs material reality, which is always factually true, is the only percept remaining in the mind at such a moment of comic perception.Look, did I just paste all that directly from Wikipedia's "Theories of humor" page? Yes. Yes, I did. But what of it?Today's strip:

Episode 63 - Sunday, August 20, 1978
A day for obscure references Were you hoping for still more cat-on-dog violence? Then you came to the right place, because Jim Davis has officially decided that is the future of Garfield. Join us as we ponder the ramifications of this unsettling trend while still finding time to complain about Jim Davis' drawing skills, bemoan the tired strip-mining of outmoded cultural apothegms, and lament the general paw-city (get it?!?) of humor in this comic.Today's strip
