Garfield by Jim Davis for May 11, 2021

Ok, who even chews their food 32 times these days?

Grow a brain, Arbuckle.

Got to chew a lot faster to beat lightning lips over there.

1 second later: BURRRP

I see Garfield didn’t take Jon’s drink.

If Garfield entered a food eating contest, he’d win paws down.

Stop chewing Jon, just gulp it down, be like Garfield.

Is it any wonder WHY, you don’t get to eat your food before Garfield does ?

Darn, couldn’t find Bob Newhart doing this on his show on YouTube.

Next, Jon is gonna take 60 seconds to sip his drink.

It’s a wonder Jon has survived all these years on such little food.

You snooze you lose. That’s just the way it goes.

Jon only chewed 28 times

You should know better than to eat with your eyes closed in front of that cat.

Has anyone ever tried to chew mashed potato’s 32 times?

Garfield’s mom said: Inhale – Digest!

My dad told me that once, lol nice one Garfield

Garfield probably prefers whisky , like me 1

Food and counting do not go along.

Is it any wonder why, Jon always looks so thin ?

If I comment to much, sorry folks, it’s just that I have brainstorms, sometimes funny, about certain Garfield comics, I just can’t help myself … MY BAD ?

Jon should know better.

At least you got a bite…..

U HOG

Garfield’s like Homer.

It is no wonder why Jon is so thin.

Who chews mashed potatoes?

I toyed with an all liquid diet once but I lost too much – about 3 days once!

we have a mamas boy here

Chewing food 32 times!?!? the most I chewed a grape was 25. Chicken dosen’t even last that long.

One of my aunts chewed 16 times. She was very thin, even for the 1950s.

In reality you need to chew 20 times

Chewing is for rookies…

Garfield believes in one big chew

People swallow food and medications so not much people.

That must be some really tough mashed potatoes.

Jon you even chew your mashed potatoes?

Why so much chewing? It just reminds me of Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

It’s like “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?” We will never know! But it’s surely, not going to be 32. Not with Garfield around anyway.

You know better, Jon!

Garfield doesn’t believe in chewing 32 times. And also, Jon, I thought you knew your own cat better than this.

It doesn’t matter how many times you chew corn. It comes out like it never touched a tooth!

guy’s, check out my comment yesterday!

This sounded familiar, so I looked it up. Fortunately, I was never expected to Fletcherize my food!

The 32 times figure comes a self-proclaimed expert on diet in the later 1800’s named Horace Fletcher. Without an ounce of scientific training, he conducted experiments which proved, to him at least, the importance of thorough mastication. He was so into chewing that he became known as the”Great Masticator” and those who followed his recommendations were said to be “fletcherizing.” And people certainly followed his advice, among them John D. Rockefeller, Upton Sinclair, Henry James and brother William James, Franz Kafka, and President Theodore Roosevelt.

Chew count Jon: 32 chews – for 1 scoop of mashed potatoes Garfield: 1 ginormous chew – for the rest of Jon’s meal.

My partner takes 2 hours to eat almost every dinner, he says he needs to masticate…..smdh

Just like me…I’m Chewish. ☺

Garfield probably can’t bite off more than he can chew, and if he did he would chew it anyway.

Got chew!

“32 times”

One chew for each tooth?

Does that mean that if you lose a couple of teeth, you don’t have to chew as long?

Jon, you idiot, you deserve this for letting a cat on your dinner table.

Mom also said to chew with your mouth shut. #goodmanners :)

You can chew on that now, Jonny boy.

That’s Garfield for you — a real chew-chew train. #BadPunNoCookie

GARFIELD!!!!!!!!!

Or who washes their hands for 20 seconds?

Ok, I counted he did “Chew!” 32 times! Don’t know what though!

fighting indigestion one chew at a time! …32 times!
