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...

Does anyone here actually bathe their cats? Don't they take care of that themselves?

I don't have a cat, but from what I understand most cats can clean themselves and some are not great at it and need a little help. Then of course if you let your cat wander outside, I'm sure they get more dirty than a cat that stays inside all the time.

I have 4 cats. Most of the time they look after themselves. Every now and then the floof gets poo stuck in his fur or the fat one comes home covered in some weird oil or something and they need bathing, but it's maybe once or twice a year.
