Garfield by Jim Davis for January 11, 2022

“And the worst part…I DRINK THE LAST OF THE MILK TOO!”

After 43 years…Jon actually managed to eat the last cookie!

Oh you are too modest Garfield. Jon confessed because of your stare. If ppl are gonna confess like that, we need Garfield in law enforcement.

Jon deserves to get you back Garfield, after all, you’re the thief that keeps stealing Jon’s food and eating it, leaving him starving.

Is it any wonder WHY, Liz wants you to go on a, GULP, D … I … E … T …

That’s not quite true Jon because there are some crumbs so you shouldn’t feel too crummy.

Garfield did it, he’s trying to frame Jon.

Somebody had to do it.

Don’t worries, Jon. There’s lotsa cookies on the internet.

It’s only a crime to Garf.

Strange. This isn’t the same strip that ran in our paper.

And I always suspected Jon had the Cookie Monster’s eyes…

Jon is clearly a wet noodle.

man am i glad that isnt me, m mother would have spanked me so much that i would have lost a limb

A life of crumb-s.

Soon to be an episode on Investigate ID. Probably Joe Kenda.

me (an empath) sensing that it appears that garf seems to be annoyed that jon (who is in despair) hm…

arrest him wtf #jonisoverparty

While he’s in that state, ask him what other “crimes” he’s committed…

“I also have a confession Jon, that wasn’t a cookie”

Jon couldn’t keep it in any longer.

What if he is lying and it is Garfield that ate it

Meanwhile Garfield probably ate the previous ones

9/10

Garfield confessed something similar back in 1990 or so

that cookie should’ve been mine, cuz its my birthday

And THIS is why you eat the whole packet at once. No forlorn stragglers to pick off and no real guilt. Well, aside from a withering look of disapproval from the wife, I mean. And that isn’t strictly guilt…

Considering that Jon must have bought either the cookies or the ingredients to make them, I think he had a valid claim to the last cookie. And if somebody was going to eat it, why shouldn’t he be the one, anyway?

I made the cookies and I get to eat the last cookie. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

This strip is different than the one that appeared in my local newspaper today. Both are labeled 1-11. The paper’s strip shows Garf holding a cell phone. He says that there’s only one drawback to being a cat. No pockets. When in Sunday’s strip, it shows him reaching into his pocket to give the snowman a carrot nose.

He would be a great witness to a crime, though. Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and all that.

This is a twist; Usually, it’s Garfield who eats the last cookie, but for Jon to do it? He’s too much of a wuss to actually get away with it without confessing.

Somebody has to.

I think this is being misinterpreted: Jon is crying because it was the last cookie…

p a i n

AND that is good……

Jon really has a pure heart. Unlike Garfield… no mercy for the most faithful cookies.

as that’s a “Crime” compared to what YOU OFTEN DO Garfield.

Let Miss Feeny be the judge of that, Garf!

Despite all Jon’s faults, integrity is still a great asset. Well done Jon.

I am afraid I am Jon type.

The all time best usage of Jon’s mid-panel pose came some years ago when he ran past Garfield, yelling, “I touched seaweed!” Classic.

Wonder how long this appears as a Garfield without Garfield.

Jon, you Son Of a Barnman, how dare you?

Not quite, Garfield. While I agree that Jon would make a rotten criminal, he didn’t commit a crime here. What you really mean is, “Some people just aren’t cut out for being owned by Garfield — and ain’t I lucky!”

So, he is saying SOB? So he is speaking an acronym? LOL! John, how filthy of you!

Why isn’t this the strip that actually ran in the newspapers? And why did the strip that actually ran say cats don’t have pockets when G had a pocket just this Sunday?

He, crumbled.

sopping wet rag of a man. i love him
