Episode 57 - Monday, August 14, 1978

Today on our program, we have the first in a series of comics focused on the ever-popular subject of cartoon violence. It's funny because they're not real people, right? Sure, I guess that's the case. Unfortunately this is by far the best of the series inasmuch as it does contain at least a vestigial attempt at an actual punchline, in the form of a play on the ambiguity often inherent in standard spoken English syntax with respect to subject/object reference. Exciting stuff!

Although we don't discuss it on the podcast (in favor of riffing on esoteric philosophical concepts such as qualia and propositional logic), I have to wonder how this strip would translate into other languages, with different rules of grammar and so forth. Perhaps we can put on flag on this as the first Garfield strip specifically designed as a monument to the English language? Meh, probably not.
