Episode 2505 - Saturday, April 27, 1985

Today's strip is a virtual masterpiece that reminds us why we started this show in the first place. Or something. We talk about the lack of transparency in the Carter administration, Jim Davis' role in 9/11, Garfield as a cynical commentary on 1970s stagflation, and why in the fuck anybody would read economic news to their cat.Today's stripYearly index of the price of a cup of coffeeBig Mac IndexLast panel of this strip edited so Garfield is saying "Allahu akbar" (you're welcome)

Ugh. Monday. Do I really need to write a podcast summary today? What a horrible existence this is.

Look, I don't want to spoil this one for you. Let's just say that big things happen in today's strip. Big, major things. There's the world before Saturday, July 15, 1978, and the world after Saturday, July 15, 1978. And never the twain shall meet.Today's strip

In today's episode, Garfield ventures into the realm of political (or at least politically-adjacent) humor. Or honestly, maybe Jim Davis is just making a joke about how lazy Garfield is. Although we never quite settle the point, we do agree that this one has a punchline. Then we talk about some other stuff.Today's strip

A red letter day! For the first time in recorded history, Garfield ventures outside the Arbuckle household. Does hilarity result? There is really no way for us to know.Today's strip

The health and fitness craze of the late 1970s comes in for some well-earned ribbing in today's episode -- at least we think it does. Jon continues to be impressed with motion lines.Today's strip
