Garfield by Jim Davis for December 31, 2023

Jon making a complete fashion fool of himself. Good times!

The panels are far into the right side

Looks like Square Root of Minus Garfield leaked over into the main strip….

Same inexplicable Liz.

Hope he also wears suitable bunny slippers – and Ta-Dah-dah-dah that’s all, folks!

The exploding one. Defiantly the exploding tie……..

On second thoughts. Leave the exploding tie in your wardrobe. With the timer running……

Jon’s staying alive. Liz’ eyes want to die.

to all a happy new year!

Looks like Liz needs to pick out his clothes.

Clothes make the man.

Last panel made me think of 2 things, (1) Disco Jon, and (2) ZZTop song, Sharp Dressed Man.

That last panel is Jon at his best

Oh look. It is JON Travolta!

First panel: 22nd January 1992

Second Panel: 15th March 1996

Third Panel: 28th March 1997

Fourth Panel: 28th June 2000

Fifth Panel: 7th May 2007

Sixth Panel: 8th February 2010

The more Jon changes, the more he stays the same.

I feel sorry for poor Liz.

“How did this ever go out of style?”

More appropriate question would be, why was that thing ever fashionable?

If you are going out to celebrate New Year’s this evening, please do not get your fashion style from Jon Arbuckle!

How is it that she’s never taken him shopping to help him pick out a new wardrobe ?

Tony Maneiro is coming after you for raiding his closet

Squirting tie – okaaayyy? Exploding tie – you know YOU are wearing it, right?

Does this guy own any normal clothes?

Jon you’re giving Liz way too many reasons to rethink the relationship…

I feel like the day Jon wears a NORMAL tie is the day Liz starts worrying about him

It’s a better look than the other suits!

I’d say the last suit isn’t nearly as bad as any of his previous outfits.

I love the callbacks and reused strips. Happy New Year 2024!

happy new year everyone! – the real nermal

Give Jon a pass on that last panel. He just “stayin alive.”

She’s hot – he’s not. How does she love this guy in comics world?

that second to last panel actually DOES make my vision swim trying to identify all those swirls

Liz looks beautiful and reminds me of Betty Boop in that black dress. (LBD)

For his New Year’s resolution, Jon should burn all his clothing and pick up some threads from L.L. Bean. It’ll be a vast improvement.

I like the Secret Santa strip from last Sunday (12/24/2023).

Somebody needs to call in Zidgel (from “3-2-1 Penguins!”) to help Jon reorganize his wardrobe. At least Zidgel had a much better sense of fashion than Jon ever did.

HIPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

i had a white suit and shoes and black shirt in the 70’s

how is he staying alive?

Same ol Garfield too.Happy new year

GOSH…even if you BURN THEM ALL THEY ALWAYS COME BACK AS THE DAYS OF THE CRAPPY SUITS!!!

The more things change . . .

4th panel; that time Jon’s suit was not the problem, but the fact he brought Garfield along.

It’s funny how somebody says this is “fashion” and people spend tons of money. Shouldn’t people wear what they want to? It seems that you’re making somebody else rich with change in outfits each year.

gotta love jon. just unapologetically himself.

Liz should have given Jon a new suit for Christmas along with a card saying please wear this on all our dates.

Leisure Suit Jonny.

Liz isn’t gonna dress up in a goofy outfit so why she let you do that?

I almost thought this comic was a rerun…

You know what, never change Jon.

I have the same problem: It’s hard to improve on perfection.

(Or self-delusion.)

Does the exploding tie actually work?

Jon could always put a Christmas sweater back on

Some people don’t change

He’s got a Saturday Night Fever for sure.

Jon never changes!!!

I think that last one is the least of the six evils.

I love these trips down memory lane! Happy New Year!

The years weren’t there before…
