Garfield by Jim Davis for August 06, 2023

Why else would Garfield do all these things?

I thought Garfield wanted to lose weight

gosh that scared the hell out of me !!!!

Even worse than the nightmare from September 28, 2008?

That’s not a nightmare, that’s a night terror.

Title panel is a repeat.

Night mare? More like a night stampede.

Whews! Me is almost thought he is wents crazy.

Not to mention, tomorrow is Monday!

One time I was six miles big. One time I weighed 11 pounds.

this is simular to this comic https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2008/09/28

Woah! I was wondering who this fake Garfield was and what he did with the real Garfield.

How heavy is Garfield that 10 pounds isn’t a dangerously unhealthy proportion of a cat’s weight?!

It’s all in the mind, you know………..

Pretty much figured it had to be a dream by the third panel.

The sad thing is I’ve had nightmares like this too

Before the nightmare was revealed, I was wondering if this was the Earth-2 version of Garfield.

You knew it was a dream of sorts when he said “Jon Arbuckle”…when was the last time he used Jon’s full name?

The only thing missing was that annoying clock.

Kale is not food. It’s place on the salad bar is between the food containers, covering the ice.

Both of my cats would disappear if they lost ten pounds.

I was wondering. Who is this gatto? Garfield from the alternate universe, perhaps?

For a moment there, I thought that our Garfield had lost his marbles

That first panel was probably on a Monday too

That was scary!

Awwww. They missed an opportunity for Garfield to SWAT Jon!:(

Garfield prefers dreams in which he’s visited by the Ghosts of Lasagna Past or looks forward to Lasagna Future.

Garfield turning down his favorite food for kale that was one heck of a nightmare

And come the next day, Garfield will be back to his normal routine, with Jon trying to tell him to get up and that he needs to lose weight.

Scary stuff there!

at first, I thought he had lost his memory once again…

a sprig of kale, nightmare for sure

That was no dream, that was definitely a nightmare!

One of the busier Garfield strips in a long time! :P

I’ll say! For a minute there, it looked like Garfield did a 90 degree personality change.

Funny but saw it coming.

Wait ‘til tomorrow, Garf… it’s…it’s…it’s… the Dreaded Day Before Tuesday. Arrrrggghhh!

I’m glad it was just a nightmare. Never change, Garf.

The 2008 nightmare strip got nothing on this version.

I got to the third panel before scrolling down and knew he was dreaming.

IT FIGURES!!

He is on the seafood diet, you see food- you eat it!

Garfield had a dream where he had full ego death and was not himself but merely an entity inside his own vessel and realized that the entity currently inhabiting his body (his own ego) is actually the one trying to kill him. That is the route of his fear, this Garfield is the scariest bad trip linking to negative self awareness ever devised. He got into Jon’s stash before bed for sure.

Had me going because I thought he was rushing to some all day ALL U Can Eat event but by the kale scene I knew something strange was going happening.

Imagine if the last panel did’nt exist… YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
