Garfield by Jim Davis for December 28, 2020

Well Garfield turned a bit chubby in the last panel

What, are you trying to beat suitless Darth Vader in an ugly contest?

“It really put a smile on my face!”

what about that wrapped gnat from a few days ago? I know he planned on giving it to Jon, but still

“Why… Yes… Thank you! Hope you don’t mind. I placed it next to a bunch of seeds so I could have Cat Grass. Nutrients!”

Mumbling under breath, “If I chew on the grass… it will slow me down in wanting to swat your entire family with a newspaper!”

Just give it to John again. He kind of asked for it with that bad advice.

Garfield’s frantically holding a newspaper behind his back.

This offering is a good fit with the salted gnat roll.

Squish the spider, Garfield.

SPLAAAAAT him!!

Garfield makes a cameo on today’s Off The Mark.

Garfield doing what he’s told ?

Well, it’s the thought that counts….

A little different… usually Garfield ignores what Jon has to say…

I can count. That’s an insect posing as a spider!

i would be happy to get a beetle >:o(

The first Christmas that my husband & I spent together, we spent the day with my parents. My mother gave my husband an Old Spice gift box. My husband very politely thanked her (looking just a tad like Garfield in the last panel). I shocked him by saying to my mother, “Mom, Old Spice makes him sneeze.” He was further shocked when my mother smiled & took him to her “gift stash”: she shopped year ‘round – usually yard sales & consignment shops – and had them divided in the cellar. She told him to pick something he liked. I don’t think he’d ever quite recovered from that.

The ancient Egyptians worshiped them.

What’s brown and sounds like a bell?

Just regift Garfield

Garfield is not a very good actor.

This is a first: Garfield actually listens and even obeys Jon. What’s the world coming to. Obedient cats.

Best fake smile ever!

That’s a Bait-and-Switch. At first, we were thinking that Jon was referring to Odie, but it was actually the spider.

“The beetle & I had a ball.”

I love the spider

Hope you got a gift receipt.

It seems like the Spider is regifter.

Wonder where he even found one?

Gotta be careful with the feelings of black widows…

It is obvious that Garfield rejects the present that the spider gave him, hence the fake smile. He dislikes the gift but acknowledges that the spider cared about him. #graciouscat :)

Be kind, even if it kills you.

You let him live, what more better gift than the gift of life…..

Eating a dung beetle is likely better than eating what a dung beetle eats.

Jon’s right.

white lie

How does Jon know what’s going on with the spider and Garfield?
