Episode 266 - Sunday, March 11, 1979

This one's pretty great. Jon Arbuckle in a state of childlike glee at the prospect of finding some really premium wanking material in his mailbox was not what we expected to encounter in panel one of today's strip. But that's what we get, and it makes for a halfway decent episode of Being Jim Davis! We talk about the evolution of pornography over the last 40 years, the subtle yet undeniable connection between Garfield and Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy, and the enigmatic question of just who the fuck 'Elke' refers to. Jon makes a number of incorrect statements regarding The Sopranos.Today's stripSquare Root of Minus Garfield

When Garfield was caught on tape last year bragging to a d-list celebrity on a bus about sexually assaulting Jon Arbuckle, I was, like many of my fellow Americans, shocked and incensed. But then when he reemerged, after several days of strategizing, and produced the ingenious defense that it was "just litter box talk," I decided that it was ok. Now with today's strip we have incontrovertible evidence of his heinous, unspeakable crimes! What's a self-respecting comics purveyor to do? I suppose the obvious course of action is to elect him president, in spite of the fact that he is OBVIOUSLY NOT 35 YEARS OLD. Because facts do not matter any more.Also, if currently sitting U.S. congress members Odie, Lyman and Nermal feel like doing DICK SQUAT about his many egregious conflicts of interest, even though they are constitutionally and morally obligated to do so, I guess that would be fine too.Today's strip

Jon says he won't do a thing, then does that thing! Who does he think he is, our President-elect? Or if we go with our standard assumption that it is Garfield that represents the orange demagogue, does that mean Jon is Ted Cruz in this one? I mean, you tell me, because I have no fucking clue. This is Being Jim Davis.Today's strip

In today's episode of Garfield, Jon Arbuckle is alarmed to find himself momentarily in conversation with an anthropomorphic bear with considerable lifelike human verisimilitude, yet realizes no apparent contradiction in the act of commenting on this event, in thought, to an imaginary audience he believes can hear his thoughts. Ladies and gentlemen, this is how religions get started.Incidentally, let's not forget that our current vice-president-elect is a man who, because of his religion, genuinely believes that countless millions of his fellow human beings deserve to suffer unimaginable torment until the end of time for no other reason than because they are in loving relationships that contain the incorrect number of penises.Today's strip
