Jon: Busy day.
Garfield: Don't I know it!
Jon: It seems like the harader I work, the behinder I get.
Garfield: One of the other cats called in sick.
Jon: Are you listening to me?
Garfield: So I had to take two naps AT THE SAME TIME!
“Behinder” is kind of a Pennsylvania Dutch term & has been around for decades, as a few others mentioned. I also have heard it as "the hurrier I go, the behinder I get.

° REFLECTION about: ˹Complain-Complain normally means being insatisfied about someone or something. before you do it. ask yourself, what do I gain with that? Does it brings me a positive impulse to do something better? -When you complain, first, be sure to bring a solution and a positive attitude.-Complain may be a tool to grow and know more of yourself rather than an irreflective reaction.

Shouldn’t that be two naps in succession? That’s a double shift

Indeed Lewreader. That has expression and variants have been around longer than dirt. Or at least the 1950s or so.
I am most familiar with it as: “The hurrieder I go the behinder I get.”

@ TexTech - I understand “The hurrieder I go…” the smaller ‘is Lubbock in my rear view mirror.’
In this case ‘smaller’ equals ‘happiness’.

Two-level naps? That sounds like Inception.

Poor cat, trying to get by on only 20 hours sleep.
I want Comicgos to know that I’m eating a thin crust pepperoni pizza right the now.
