Garfield by Jim Davis for January 14, 2021

Hope Squeak knows a good cheese guy.

You’re right Garfield, lotta school plays

47 that he knows about.

So How are you managing distance learning?

My matrilineal great-great-grandfather had eighteen; second-to-the-last child was my great-grandfather (born in 1890 which was the same year as the Manifesto of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; boy was only a few months of age when that was issued and ratified).

Imagine the Christmas shopping!

Every kid I went to school with that had large families, I never met/saw their parents at any school function. I would see plenty of their siblings but never their parents.

I’d hate to be the mother of those mouselings.

What’s Jon going to do when 47 mice start to run around his house?

Nah, it’s just one play. The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

You got a humongous rat infestation problem there, lazy cat.

School plays and other activities!

That’s a lot of kids considering you may be less than one year old. Two mice that sneak into your home could give birth to 60 in a year.

yikes

Just think of the cheese bill? And every kid wanting a different kind.

Thats a lot of mouths to feed 0_0

How many wives?

Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your kids.

That’s a lot of dirty diapers.

That mouse has been quite busy

Geez! All those kids could fit in a mansion, but not even FIT!

That’s one weird mouse hole shape

At least they’re not teens. Yet.

Garfield: College is going to be very expensive for them!

Jonathan Swift had the right idea with his “A Modest Proposal” which would not only bring about a semblance of peace in the house, but would reduce the food expenses.

And plenty of kitty treats……

Reminds me of Rizzo the Rat from Muppet Christmas Carol when he tells Gonzo/Charles Dickens, “I had 1,274 brothers and sisters!”

Wow, that’s nothing compared to when Cassie from “Dragon Tales” said that she had 74 brothers and sisters.

Can you imagine the number of school concerts and sporting events you would have to go to?

Garfield: I can help with that…

Think of how many names Squeak has to remember when one of them gets in trouble! : Squeak: Whatever your name is…Get over here!!

o-O

Not really, Garfield. They just all appear as children in The King and I

Dear, ask dog do you ever get annoyed?

cheese sales are skyrocketing

cheaper by the dozen..

Wow 438 is a lot of mice babies.

Hmmm. so maybe those mice in the walls here are one big family!
