Garfield by Jim Davis for May 04, 2021

Believe it or not, Garfield, even with all that fat will be able to swim!

Let’s hear about his first time in the shower.

Never knew deep water can also be in bathtubs

poor Jon

Is deep water just that scary?

Glad Jon has watered down his lack of bravado.

Guessing how tall Jon was back then (and was on a farm) he can’t really drown

Garfield should speedrun mondays

Jon must have been very short and tiny to call that deep

Thassalophobia It’s possible to drown in a bathtub if you’re taking a bath and make the mistake of falling asleep.

Bathtub swimming lessons, man that’s sad

Either that or a kiddie pool.

Jon really is pathetic, isn’t he ?

What’s next, is Jon afraid of FART bubbles in his bathtub ?

Pitiful.

Sad. Jon is a chicken.

My mother developed a fear of deep water when, as children, her younger sister pranked her by pretending to drown. The result of that was that she made sure we all learned how to swim and took us swimming frequently. Side note: one time my parents took my daughters to the beach. Since we live in the city, my mother didn’t know that our girls learned how to swim during their summer camp, and my girls didn’t know my mother’s fear, so she nearly had a heart attack when, instead of slowly wading in, they ran in & dove in head-first.

Must’ve been a large, shallow tub.

Did Jon have to wear floaties in the tub?

Sad

Happy Star Wars Day

how shallow

I got my yearbook on Friday and boy do I look weird

Best place to start teaching your little ones to swim, especially correct breathing techniques and the “flutter kicks”. If you don’t mind putting a lot of water in the tub they can master getting their faces looking under the water. Of course, do this BEFORE and soap is put in the tub!

its probably a sink

he probably kept avoiding puddles too at this point.

Hahaha! How tall was the dude… 30 centimeteres?

Come on, Jon, stop being such a wuss and man up! But anyway, with the talk of deep water, I was actually afraid of going out to the deep end of a public pool after an incident where I followed my brother to the deep end and I ended up nearly drowning. Now that I’m older, I’m no longer afraid of the deep end.

And he was afraid he’d go down the drain!!!

how old is Jon? i know Garfield is about 40

And suffice it to say Jon hasn’t learned his lesson…yet.

I float like a brick, so I sympathize with Jon. My ‘deep sea’ diving is limited to an inground pool.

may the 4th be with you

Jon. really!?

Say something profound when you bite in to your Big Whoop from the hamburger joint conglomerate, Wimpy. No quotes.

It was probably a kiddie pool

he “was” afraid?

more like was that a shower
