When one of his publishers sent a manuscript back asking for punctuation, Mark Twain filled a sheat of paper with all kinds of punctuation marks with a note that said “Here are the punctuation marks, put them where you want them.”

Wasn’t it also Twain who came up with a plan for the improvement of English spelling, that resulted in a language that was completely incomprehensible?

Don’t get all excited now, Garfield!
Pacejv, I think he is making the “parenthesis” sign with his paw pads.

Considering the alternative, yes, it’s good to be alive. To sleep. Perhaps to dream. Ahh—-

That sounds like Twain. He was also a cat lover.

Ive noticed something about Garfield. In all the strips Jon is smiling until the last one where Garfield makes his punchline. Or vice versa.
