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 8-24-23: We are just about up to date with postings! Tomorrow we'll have 10 more and be all caught up. After that it will be a single post with that days comic strip.

Original Post: There is a method to the madness, please bear with me.

The point of this Garfield community is to post the comics as they were released. For example, the comic originally released on October 8, 1978 will be posted on October 8, 2023. I'll post a few a day until we are caught up and then will post one a day to match the original release date.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for joining the community!

Hi thrawn, I'm with you and enjoy those as well! Trying to keep this one for the comics though and those two really should be posted in their own community.

No one has started a proper Garfield Minus Garfield one on Lemmy yet. There is a I'm Sorry Jon community at: https://lemmy.world/c/imsorryjon
