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...

Shit, I'd tip her extra and ask if she's busy later.

I wonder where Jim Davis has gone that would make him think a customer at a diner being served a whole, raw potato is a normal thing

I would assume it's supposed to be a baked potato

Yeah I thought about that, but then I’d expect it to be hot, or cut open, or covered in sour cream/cheese/chives, or at least served with a fork and knife.

Like this waittress just came out and plated down a plain potato for this man.

1979 was a wild time.
