Garfield by Jim Davis for July 02, 2021

In the fourth comic frame, Garfield smashes up the talking scales … AGAIN.

It’s weird how the weight pad can talk

“Say you’re sorry!” “Ok. You’re sorry!”

More like “Sorry not sorry”.

You’ll be sorry when Garfield destroys you.

You got what you asked for Garfield, just not what you intended. LOL!

Good but old and predictable joke

That’s why weighing yourself during dieting, is not a good thing to do, you’ll only feel worse if there’s no improvement.

Usually it says, “Hey! One at a time!”

Similar to a joke used on the Flintstones decades ago

Fred: “How can you be so stupid?”Barney: “Hey, that’s not very nice. Say you’re sorry!”Fred: “I’m sorry you’re stupid.”

“One of you will have to get off.”

Garfield is STILL fatV? Lay off the lasonya you fat cat !

FATSO Garfield !

I’m SO SORRY ….. NOT.

in a sarcastic tone.

After 40 years with this machine, you think he would know better.

You’ve all heard of fender benders ?

Well, Garfield’s a talking scale fender bender.

To quote Cartman from South Park … “I’M NOT FAT, I’M BIG BONED !!!”.

Lol, clever

Garfield is not fat, just gravitationaly challenged!

I didn’t realize that flea collar weighed so much…..

This was a Flintstones skit. Just replace fat with stupid. It was funny then and it’s funny now!

It is time for Garfield to get a hammer.

Garfield isn’t fat. He’s horizontally gifted.

I’m trying to remember who first originated this You’re fat/ I demand an apology joke? Rodney Dangerfield or W.C. Fields?

If Santa was here he would give coal to that scale.

Fat chance of getting an apology from that wise-a$$ scale, Garf! :D

You demand an apology, Garfield…for what, the truth?

hey, guys! my birthday’s next week!

jump on it next time. Lets see it respond to that. :D

Garfield is going to bust that scale soon.

Just stomp it Garfield

Stop the fat shaming ya skinny clown!

Hammer that thing to death, Garfield

don’t make him jump on you, like in the Thanksgiving special!

If I had a hammer of 25 1/2 pounds…I would be 25 1/2 pounds heavier

this seems like a re-run

See, this is why it’s important to be specific in these types of situations. Garfield should have clarified for the scale to apologize for calling him fat, but he didn’t. That’s what TVTropes refers to as Ambiguous Syntax.

“I demand a retraction!”

“OK, I’m not sorry that you’re fat!”

((( ^ • ᴥ • ^ )))

The scale may be sorry, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

I know this is stupid but, is Garfield actually talking or is it a thought?

Garfield you do need to lose a couple pounds!

Garfield isn’t fat! He’s fluffy!!

Not the apology you were looking for, eh?

OOOOOH SNAP! BURRRRRRRN.

Technically that’s an apology, alright.

President Garfield was shot on this day in history. I read the strip last night in a real newspaper that had Garfield The Cat’s age. Of course, no cat has ever lived that long and I think the strip needs to stop telling us his age. Looking at the comments to see if that was mentioned, I found a reference to President Garfield. The commenter was wrong, because Taft was the fat president. Jim Davis was named for his grandfather who was in turn named for the president.

Fair enough, you got what you asked for, plus a bonus: truth.

you had it coming, Garfield.

Well that scale is brutally honest! At least it didn’t yell out “Mercy”!

HA!!

Looks like each of his feet are about as big as his stomach.

HAHAHA! I have the book that that comic is in! #16

I despise that scale
