Garfield by Jim Davis for June 15, 2021

For 43, he’s pretty well maintained Spider.

And SWAT!

don’t push it, you aggravating arachnid

That spider has a death wish

“Scram, punk”.

“And get off my lawn”.

I forgot, Garfield and my father share the same birthday.

Just wait until you get to be 68 like I will be on 6/19, Garfield

You’re ancient, Garf.

Right now I be he’s wanting something that makes spiders “SPLAT”.

That old Burger King should have got one of their pizzas, Spidey.

That is harsh, 43 is just middle aged, not that old that spiders been in the comic almost as long as Odie has

Someone’s got a death wish.

Six legged spiders can’t be trusted!

Cute!!!

And Spidey is still alive?!

I turned 68 yesterday. I tell everyone that I’m 88. They say I look good for my age.

Looks like Garf can’t handle a newspaper any more, old age doesn’t come itself….

Spider: Get your old butt over here!

If I had known in 1978 (while Andy Gibb was “Shadow Dancin’”) what I know now….

4 days until Garfield’s birthday!

Getting a little mellow and not immediately swatting that spider, Garfield?

Punk

For a critter with such a short life span, the cheeky spider better watch his mouth.

good one from the spider, I have to admit.

So I was 23 when he was “born”, my bd is this week as well!!! Happy Garfield birthday Mr. D! (We share the same last name,too!)

43? No cat lives that long.

“SCRAM, PUNK”

(imagines an alternative to this dialogue)

“NO”

43! WHAT THE HECK! A CAT!

Garfield’s birthday is in 4 days

That spider’s about to get some swapping.

Wish I was 43. That would be before brain surgery. I could still play bass…

Maybe a pre-chewed cake so it doesn’t get stuck in his dentures.

wait 43 cat years or 43 human years?

he may have a point

Other cartoonists can be very snarky when they discuss the literary merits of Garfield. I am sure that Mr. Davis cries all the way to the bank.

Surprisingly enough, my older brother’s birthday is actually two days after Garfield’s. He’ll be 37 this year.

And maybe some hemorrhoid cream and denture cream???

Garfield’s grown nicer! He didn’t swat the spider instantly after the spider made that remark.

How ’bout some socks for yer big mouth, Spidey? :D

yeah PUNK

He’d like you and the other spiders to vacate the premises for his birthday.

Don’t call me old, or I’ll whack you with my cane.

(As Elmer Fudd) Think it is funny to call me old, Punk? #aging :]

How about a whack with a newspaper for the spider ?

He hasn’t said the word “punk” in all the other years! (Trust me! I read all of them!)

43?!? That’s only two years younger than me

How about a place in Guiness book of world records? World’s oldest cat.

you want food

4 dAyS lEfT.

You don’t look a day over 18, Garfield.

He should’ve said Do you mean padrails?
