Episode 2498 - Saturday, April 20, 1985

In today's episode, we crack this thing wide open. We expose a conspiracy that goes back generations and spans continents. And it all -- as so often it does -- comes down to one very special orange cat. And Drew Barrymore. And listener Steve. Of course. Today's strip

There's a lot I could say about today's episode, but in the end, I think history will remember it as the first time we mentioned (and almost immediately begin insulting) fan-favorite hypothetical listener "Steve". Also, here's this:Today's strip

Uh oh, A PODCAST!The nice thing about today's podcast is that if you get bored, you can always turn on the Super Bowl instead, which is of course a thing that's happening today in 1979 (the year that it is right now). Will the Cowboys beat the spread? Will Chris find something to shout about unnecessarily? What article of furniture will disappear in today's Garfield strip? Tune in to find out the answer to none of these questions!Thanks again to Emily Kojis for co-hosting this week!Today's strip

Ok, so the use of the word 'but' here STRONGLY implies that Jon believes that his owning a cat means that he is NOT a bachelor, doesn't it? Which means, ipso facto, precisely one of two things must necessarily be the case: Either Jon Arbuckle is a man who does not understand what words mean, or Jon Arbuckle is a man who is in a romantic and/or sexual relationship with his cat.Oh wait, did I say "and/or"? No, we've definitely established through the course of this show that Jon is a guy with tremendous sexual appetites; he's clearly not the type to stick around in a committed, monogamous relationship with his cat and NOT have sex with it, OK? That would be ABSURD.Today's strip

1. You won't actually hear it in this episode because I cut it out, but in the pre-roll to today's podcast Chris tells us an anecdote about buying tupperware at IKEA in which he refers to the plural of same as 'tupperwares'.2. Since you mention it, yes, I totally grant that that anecdote sounds more entertaining than anything that actually made it in.Today's strip
