Garfield by Jim Davis for September 09, 2021

On Mondays however, this type of nature is a different story.

It’s not that cat’s who will rule the world, it’ll be the mice, when cat’s are too lazy to do their mousing jobs.

bye!

Just lazy.

Sometimes? I think more like most times.

Technically he is being cruel to Jon for not getting the mouse.

i like me some negotiated settlements.

But Garfield, sometimes nature can be cruel when Odie eats your lasagna!

If Jon wants the mice taken care of, he needs to get a few snakes and turn them loose in the house. They don’t have a problem when it comes to eating mice.

Sometimes? When have you ever chased him?

Smooth

I just got done reading “Get Fuzzy” where the punchline was “Science is cruel.” Wonderful timing!

I just came from this comic with the opposite punchline: https://www.gocomics.com/getfuzzy/2021/09/09

Rats !

Garfield’s too lazy to do any exercise, unless of course it’s feeding time.

Since Garfield’s been born in an Italian restaurant, why would he eat mice ?

Garf never chases them. Rather like my cats, who stared at a loose mouse Morrie brought in.

Garfield has NEVER been a mouser. For as long as I can remember, chasing mice has never once been his thing. Now, put a small bird in front of him, we’d be having a different discussion…

Understandable, have a great day.

Cats do not chase mice. They are ambush predators. They sneak and pounce.

When Arthur encounters Slartibartfast on the planet Magrathea it is explained that mice have spent a lot of their time in laboratories running complex experiments on humans, contrary to the humans thinking that it was them running experiments using mice. Slartibartfast explains to Arthur that “the business with the cheese and squeaking” was just a front for their true intelligence, and that they allowed humans to perform some “primitively staged” experiments on them in order to check how much humans had learned, and to give them “the odd prod in the right direction”.

Mice were behind the ten-million-year research program to find the Ultimate Question; the research program being the Earth itself. They designed and created the Earth to be a successor to the supercomputer Deep Thought, which had found the Ultimate Answer. Slartibartfast called the research program an “epic experiment in behavioral psychology”, however the mice were “furious” when the Earth was blown up by the Vogons mere minutes before the experiment would have been complete. Slartibartfast worked for the mice when they were planning to create a second Earth, and they seemed to treat him and all other beings with disdain, and were often impatient.

H2G2

can’t be bothered…it’s been a while Jon didn’t threaten him with that.

Why hasn’t Jon ever thought of using those humane mouse traps to trap the mice then set them free in the wild?

Best mousers are actually dogs……

Aww. That’s sweet.

(if mouse wanted to be chased but Garfield said no) CHASE ME RIGHT NOW

It’s all fun and games until the mice steal the ricotta cheese.

This is unsqueakable dereliction of duty!

The hanky panky between the two will go for a toss once Jon forgets to fill the refrigerator.

Nature is cruel. Those mice are talking behind your back in the safety of their holes in the walls.

There were some who were on mousing jobs, There was one famous mouser. During the Chinese civil war in 1949, the Communists trapped a British warship in Yagaznte river for a few weeks while going to rescue British Embassy staff from Beijing.

The cat who’s a ship mascot helped catch mice and rats which would have brought diseases to the trapped sailors and officers. The ship was eventfully escaped out of the river.

He was awarded the Dicken’s medal (the animal Victoria Cross).

You are a disgrace Garfield.
