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...

I'm a millennial so Garfield has always been around during my lifetime. I remember seeing the comic strips and watching the cartoon as a kid. I think I even had a collection of the comic strips at one point. But they make a lot more sense to me now as an adult than they ever did as a child, even this one which has a reference I would have no way of guessing at.
They're a lot less funny to me now than when I was a kid. Actually they're not funny at all now, but there was a period in childhood when I thought they were hilarious.
Might be partly because I have a cat now and didn't as a kid but it's almost like they're anti-comedy. So unfunny it almost boggles the mind as to how they were produced and became so popular.
Did I see Garfield killing some old man?
Garfield has no conscience.
