Today's strip

This one just doesn't make sense and we're sorry about that. Today's strip

Why are you reading this? Wouldn't you rather be reading about X-Men characters getting it on with each other? But you know, in a sexual way? Yeah, I thought so. Here, here's your link to our erudite co-host Amy's slash-fic page. For the rest of you, today Garfield hangs around and endures some petty whining from Jon in the first panel and then does a little bit of musing in panels two and three. It's a strip, I guess.

Despite all odds this podcast continues to exist. What did we talk about today? We talked about Garfield. Did you not know that? Today's strip

Oh boy, it's another dumb joke about some family member of Garfield's who will NEVER be mentioned again! Can't wait to find out what sort of forced facile wordplay and/or serious mental health condition will serve as the basis for this one. If you want to read something more artistically resonant and FAR better-edited, why not go over and check out guest host Amy's presumably delightful fan fiction? Seriously, why not? What the fuck's wrong with you?!? Today's strip

LIZ Jon let it on board. Jon let it grow inside the turkey. Jon blew the warning signal. LYMAN Why. LIZ Special Order 937. IRMA What's that. LIZ That's what I want to know. Jon's head is placed on the table. His eyes flicker into consciousness. LIZ What is Special Order 937. JON You know I can't tell you that. LIZ Then there's not point in talking to you. Pull the plug. JON Special Order 937 in essence asked me to direct the ship to the planet, investigate a life form, possibly hostile and bring it back for observation. With discretion, of course. LIZ Why. Why not tell us. JON Would you have gone. IRMA It wasn't in the contract. JON My very point. LIZ They wanted to investigate the Garfield. No matter what happened to us. JON That's unfair. Actually, you weren't mentioned in the order. LYMAN Those bastards. JON See it from their point of view. They didn't know what the Garfield is. LIZ How do we kill it. JON I don't think you can. Not in this ship, given its life support systems. But I might be able to. LIZ How. JON I don't know quite yet. I'm not exactly at my best at the moment. If you would reconnect... LIZ No way. JON Don't be so hasty. You'll never kill it without my help. LIZ We've had enough of your help. JON You've barely got any oxygen left. If you don't go into hypersleep, you'll die with or without the Garfield. LIZ Nice try, Jon. JON I will do whatever I can to help you. I swear it. IRMA Pull the plug. LYMAN I agree. JON You idiots. You still don't realize what you're dealing with. The Garfield is a perfect organism. Superbly structured, cunning, quintessentially violent. With your limited capabilities you have no chance against it. LYMAN You admire it. JON How can one not admire perfection. I will kill it because I am programmed to protect human life as you know. LIZ Even if you have contempt for it. JON Even then. Today's strip

Today we welcome on the program our first mononymic co-host, Amy! She was a great sport, in that she did NOT bail on the recording when she found out after the first episode that we were planning on doing six more. We talked about the disturbing narcissism of Jon Arbuckle, his and Jim Davis' eagerness to gaslight his audience, and which parts of a cat it is and isn't OK to touch without verbal consent. Basically it's a thoroughly average episode. Today's strip
