A relatively mediocre strip in an otherwise fabulous week. Hey, fuck Tuesdays, am I right?Today's strip:

It was the best of podcasts, it was the worst of podcasts, it was the podcast of wisdom, it was the podcast of foolishness, it was the podcast of belief, it was the podcast of incredulity.A lazy episode summary, bordering on plagiarism, you say? True enough. And yet, it's nowhere near as lazy as today's strip, which, actually, we both like pretty well.Today's strip:And here's whatever this is: Whoops, almost forgot this one:

I understand how this might be an interesting comic strip to someone who had not read the strip from the previous Wednesday. Whatever. Anyway we get into a much more interesting argument about whether or not Jon Arbuckle had some construction work done on his house in the interim between panels four and eight.CORRECTION: U.S. President James Garfield DID in fact have a mustache.Today's strip

Garfield is yawning. Guess he must be reading one of his comics, amiright?!?!? Anyway, today's strip is a treasure trove of novelties you won't want to miss, unless you have something decent to do instead.Today's strip

Cats, tickling, tickling cats. That's pretty much what we get today. Look, they can't all be zingers, ok?Today's strip

2nd mention of Lasagna! First mention of Thursday! Maybe that will turn out to be significant! But honestly, don't you think it's a little weird that a single guy would even observe a weekly meal based on a particular type of food? Let alone also feed that kind of food to his cat? There's just so much here that seems poorly thought out from the start: Does Jon typically also give his Thursday lasagna to his cat, or is Garfield so excited by the knowledge that this is Lasagna Day that he's forgotten that he's not actually going to get any of it? Does anything make sense in the godless yet stunningly teleological universe of Garfield?Anyway in this episode we discuss the inconsistency of Garfield's taste preferences, the problem of how a cat would be able to throw a bowl of cat food at a high enough velocity to knock over a human, and speculate on Garfield's inevitable gritty reboot.Today's strip

A tremendous letdown after yesterday's monumental offering, this is probably a strip that might have been considered funny back in the 70s. I mean, maybe; I guess we'll never know. We make a half-hearted attempt to rewrite the uninspired basket of deplorables that compose today's strip before Chris blows this shit wide open by coining a brand new catchphrase of Garfieldian derision. You won't want to miss it!Today's strip
