Garfield by Jim Davis for January 26, 2021

That “tater tots” part actually makes sense.

I always love seeing Garfield with one arm up on the table, but the sideways glance adds so much to this!

now what would aliens want with earthling doughnuts? why, to tide their stomachs over while on the long, galactic trip of course!

These aliens took donuts cause they came from Proxima Centauri!

It was abducted by aliens since Garfield’s stomach is from an alien planet.

I vote for – they went down the hatch.

Nuts are very healthy. My favourite are donuts.

Jon, you should know by now not to leave food in a vulnerable position like that.

Why are you talkin to him like you do

Or maybe they escaped on the donut express train, so they can’t be eaten and dunked in coffee ?

In a Blackadder theme … " I did not eat that plump breasted pigeon ".

Abducted by aliens? Aha. Just what the alien astronaut theorists had always suspected.

So much for Garfield’s conspiracy theories, ’eh ?

Or is this another cover-up for Garfield who actually ATE Jon’s donuts ?

How do you know Liz didn’t take the Donuts again Jon?

Is this one of them?

Well the dish was going to run away with the spoon but the spoon was cheating on it with the donuts.

One of the funnier weekday strips by Davis in recent memory.

but you can Jon

Ah yes… the tater tots.

Wonder if Oreos know anything about this. I better bring milk with me in case things turn ugly

I’ll give you a hint: Look in someplace where there’s packed with food…

It’s Garfield who ate it

They hid in a hideout with the sign “Donut Enter”.

The only thing Jon understands is the guilty/sarcastic look on Garfield’s face.

That’s a lie. Remember the Monday curtain arc?

Sometimes?

(Raises hand) I know, I know!

Why is Jon always leaving the donuts in a place where Garfield can get to them? He should have known better than that by now. Maybe he should have taken the donuts with him to prevent Garfield from getting to them, like he did in one strip when he was able to read Garfield’s expression that Garfield was planning to steal all of the donuts while he was in the shower.

it’s true, i’m sharing them with the other clowns here at the circus… i swear! (wink)

I think Jon understands Garfield only too well.

No. But hum a a few bars…

Obviously Garfield ate them.

Yummy

High metabolic Garfield. Wish I had his metabolism.

Dichotomy at play here. Jon has generally understood Garfield in the past. Comic strip artistic license and all…..

I eat lasangna

i eat sandwich

Lasangna

Even if you could, you wouldn’t,

Sometimes I feel Jon should be able to decipher what Garfield is thinking.

I love these food-guessing games that Garfield plays with anyone he can mess with. #whoatethedonut :)

Sometimes I’ve got the impression that Jon can understand him

That’s weird, i read almost all of the 2021 Garfield strips but i don’t remember this one

Gotta watch out for those tater tots… They’re always sneaky.

i think it’s interesting how sometimes Jon can understand Garfield but in certain strips like these, he can’t!
