Hello fellow Garfield fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis. Originally published locally as Jon in 1976, then in nationwide syndication from 1978 as Garfield, it chronicles the life of the title character Garfield the cat, his human owner Jon Arbuckle, and Odie the dog. As of 2013, it was syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals and held the Guinness World Record for being the world's most widely syndicated comic strip...

Update: M_F (https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] has ) has kindly stepped up to be lead moderator on all the comic communities! That makes me very happy that they will continue!!! If you reached out to help, please work with M_F directly. Thanks again M_F!!!!


TLDR: I’m sad to report that I will no longer be posting daily comics as I just don’t have the time :( If anyone wants to take over the daily posts, please DM me. Ideally, there would be 2-3 people to split up posting duties to make it easier.

The longer story is, I run my own graphics business which is my regular full-time gig. On top of that, at the beginning of the year. I started my lifelong passion project and created my own comic strip called Bello Bear (https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]). Sadly, there is only so much time in day and running a full-time business, a passion project, and also having some sort of home life at the same time is just not possible.

Even though posting the daily comics is only about a half hour of my time, it adds up. It’s also 7 days a week and though I’m a creature of habit, it is a grind. I would rather dedicate that time to my passion project, which is currently limited to only Mon, Wed, and Friday releases as I'm already stretched thin.

This is effective immediately for the following communities…
