Garfield by Jim Davis for April 20, 2019

imagine eight times the tap dancing… it will sound like a (dare I say it?) typewriter keyboard

Wait. Garfield is having a conversation with a spider? And letting the spider live? Who is this cat, and what has he done with the REAL Garfield?

Spider’s got you there, Garfield.

The spider has a good point.

He’s still two legs short.

to be useless

I just hate this PC Garfield. The real Garfield should’ve been SPLAAAATting that darn spider with a rolled up newspaper.

International version: “Then what’s with all these meters?!”

And you’re doing a good job, unlike Garfield who was born to chase mice and splat spiders which he doesn’t do anymore. Old age I guess.

Boy, is that spider triggered or what?

I can’t dance! I can’t talk! Only thing about me is the way that I walk!

Turn on some music and break it down for him, Spidey!

and once you’ve learned to dance, you can put it on the web!

He’s excellent at the tarantella!

That’s a new look on Garfield’s face in the last panel.

Because the spider doesn’t have dance shoes.

..spider has 8 legs

Why does the spider only have 6 legs? Most spiders I know have 8.

excellent comeback

A kinder, more mellow Garfield tells him to ‘Break a leg.’ He does. and is duly splatted as part of a scandalous cartoon coverup.

She must’ve lightened her load on “Dog eat Doug…”

It took me until now to realize something. Garfield can talk to other animals that other people couldn’t hear. This reminds me of how in Disney’s Brother Bear, when Kenai is turned into a bear, he can understand other animals. I dunno, it’s just something that came in my head. (Brother Bear has a beautiful soundtrack, BTW)

But they are all left feet.

What do you mean “born to dance”? You’re missing two feet?

To walk

Obviously, he needs to be defeeted.

I think it would be easier to dance I if he did not have all those feet
