Garfield by Jim Davis for September 18, 1978

i hate mondays

And so we learn of Garfield’s hatred of Mondays.

me too Garfield sigh me too

This is a historic day for Garfield. The day he first utters his famous quote;“I hate Mondays.”

Garfield there-on despises Monday for all it’s bad luck marking September 18th 1978 as the first day of Monday’s fury.

And so it begins

I declare this day international I hate mandays day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mondays

Every third Monday of September should be I Hate Mondays day!

MONDAY IS JUST EVIL!!!!

About 10 years later a similar strip started a two-week story arc

so it begins.

The first “i hate Mondays” and the first time getting stuck in the window blind

First Monday strip….

this is the first time he ever says that.

Garfield: I hate Monday

THE FIRST MONDAY JOKE!!!

I hate Mondays

the beginning of a legend

this is the first time he says/thinks “I hate Mondays.”

Don’t we all, Garfield. Don’t we all.

A normal cat might hate mondays because they’re bored and miss their humans who are gone at work, and the humans hate mondays because it’s the beginning of the soul grinding work week. Garfield? He hates mondays… Because… Reasons? Purely random occurrences of bad luck? Perhaps he does even miss Jon though he’d likely deny it… Perhaps the full scope of the matter will become clear as we see more occurrences of the most despised mondays.

Isn’t this the first bad monday for Gfield?

He said the thing!

why does Garfield hate Mondays he should love them his strip began on Monday June 19 1978
