Garfield by Jim Davis for October 03, 2017

Little do we know he’s actually watching an old movie…

Must be a rerun of Andy Griffith.

Actually, the original “Blondie” TV series started with “Ah, ah, ah! Don’t touch that dial!”

Actually, Garfield, Dial is a soap and you know how you hate baths!

Garfield has a flat screen instead of his old one. That’s why.

Put on your Virtual Reality gear, and you can have a TV with a dial. Although with enough channels you’ll probably need multiple dials… Or make the dial, really, really big…

You know, that thing you use to like adjust the vertical hold and stuff.

Oye No worries about Garf touching that dial,He hates the soap as much as he hates the bath.

It’s the up/down buttons on your remote.

Don’t even worry about it!

They have been around so long that they can do that.

Kids will never know the horror of the “fine tuning” knob, and how you had to change the UHF channels VERY SLOWLY to make sure you hit the right one…. Let’s not forget wrapping aluminum foil around the bowtie, or stringing it between the rabbit ears….

How can Garfield not remember? He was around in the late 1970s and the 1980s when TV sets still had dials.

the dial, when you were a kid sitting on the floor and you felt moms slipper on your back as a cue to get up and change the channel.

Ah yes, we kids were the remotes for our parents!

Old TV days.

Yeah, get yourself one of those super duper up to date remote control TVs.

Although, funnily enough, people still talk about dialing phone numbers.

TV watching theme again? It seems like they just did one not too long ago. I’d rather see more harassing and killing spider ones.

Take care and God bless

Garfield was born in 1978. He should know about the TV dial.

Garfield must be watching a show from the 80s

But, Garfield, you knew what dial was back then

Hey Nimrod. .Dials go back to Radios when you Dialed IN a station….Line from an old movie “Quiet Junior, I just Got Cleveland” – he lived in St Louis….Very “Exotic”….You still call your “Phone” a “Phone” don’t you?…..

Dial-a-Pizza of course!

God, that makes me feel old.

it is a channel changer

knob on the tv

Sad…..

“Don’t touch that dial”? That’s a line from Weird Al Yankovic’s “UHF”

Come on, Garfield! You remember dials! You were there when they were a thing!
