Being Jim Davis

Did you know Garfield was the "spokescat" for something called the "International Information System Security Certification Consortium"? If so, you have little reason to listen to today's episode. Though we do talk for a while about the possibility that a "dog holocaust" occurred sometime between 1978 and today. Who's to say?Today's strip:

Honestly, just whatever, okay? It's fine. But I really do like the phrase "Odie's intelligence and tongue." It was worth it for that.Today's strip:

Honestly, not a great strip today, but we do reference Grand Funk Railroad, Ludwig Wittgenstein, pop art, Saint Sebastian, prog rock, Medieval iconography, basically anything to avoid talking about the actual strip, which, again, not that great.Today's strip:

Big fuckin' day, listeners. Big. Fuckin'. Day. You thought the introduction of Lyman would change things? Admit it, that's what you thought. "I totally think the introduction of Lyman will change things." Those were your precise thoughts. Well, frankly, valued listener, you were an idiot to think that. A total and complete buffoon. Because today, listener, things will really change for Garfield. And not just because of some itinerant mustache weirdo.Big fuckin' day indeed.Today's strip:

Hey regular listener, did it bother you a little bit yesterday when we talked about Garfield's butthole? It seemed crass and excessive, right? Well, today we double down with an extended discussion of Garfield's feces. Also, hilarity ensues with the addition of our new hit character, "Russian Garfield."Oh, and Lyman makes his first appearance. Remember Lyman?Today's strip:Russian Garfield:

Is Panel Seven the Panel Two of Sunday??? YOU DECIDE. Anyway, this is a Garfield strip, and we're gonna talk about it. I should probably let you know right now that In this episode we spend FAR too much time talking about Garfield's butt hole.Today's strip

Fair warning: Today's episode of Being Jim Davis is unusually light on traditional English syntax. Anyway, once we recover from how lame this Garfield strip is, we explore its relationship to the strip from July 4th, 1978 (which also featured fish-based humor), and return once again to the evergreen issue of just why Jon allows Garfield on the table in the first place. Is this our best episode ever? I'll never tell.Today's strip

A promising setup leads absolutely nowhere interesting in this forty-seventh episode spectacular. In lieu of anything noteworthy we get into a discussion of whether anyone actually uses the word 'sandbox' to refer to that thing that our cats poop in.
