   I doubt it. Garfield does nothing like he’s already retired.

   I thought I was going to get one when I retired, but ended up in an old beat up duplex with loud neighbors…

   Jon…you’ll just have to buy Garf a sombrero add the crossed ammo belt crossing his chest and you’ll have a Garf Pancho Villa. That IS the closest Garf’s will ever get to a Villa.

   It’s been years since Jim Davis has directly created a Garfield comic strip. He has a team of illustrators and writers who create the strips, and Mr. Davis gives final approval. Plus, he is 67 years old, so I would not be surprised if he does want to retire.

   Now 4 boring ones in a row!
   Go back to the 80s or 90s. There is no way you will ever find 4 boring Garfield strips in a row.
   To the creators: Learn! Do it the way Jim Davis did it!

    Nothing stays fresh forever. You try keeping a daily strip going for the same length of time.

    Hmmmmmm, good point. Keep in mind: Jim Davis has been cranking out Garfield strips since June 19, 1978 , i.e. more than 34 years. Remember: Cathy Guisewite retired on October 3, 2010 after 34 years of creating the strip “Cathy”.

    Not funny, but nice pun.
    Besides, the whole Paws team has a lot of artists, writers, editors, you name it that makes up a strip. Plus, Jim makes strips 8-10 weeks in advance, no more, no less. There’s NO way that this strip’ll retire after this date. NO WAY, JOSE
