Garfield by Jim Davis for October 10, 2021

Plot twist: Both of the treats had a pill in them!

I still think there’s a pill in those treats

So one of the things that Jon was thinking about yesterday was to find a way to trick Garfield into taking his pills?

Garfield, you furbrain! He just put the pill on both!

Good trolling, Jon.

Oh dear – now we have to guess the pillock!

Who would have thought John could be so clever?

Garfield’s overconfidence was his weakness.

Cleverness from Jon? What strange alternate universe are we living in?

Jon you’re getting smarter in your old age.

???

One has to use trickery to get animals their meds.

Cats usually get their way, but for once, Jon actually outsmarted Garfield.

Who would’ve thunk it ?

Jon outsmarted him? Isn’t that a sign of the end times?

Wow, Jon got over on Garfield. That happens about as often as something good happening to Chuck over on the Peanuts strip…..

Ok, who the heck are you and what have you done with Jon?

A victory for Jon!! Well played, my boy. Well played!

A rare instance of Jon having the last laugh…

Is this the sign of the Catopalypse, in a biblical proportion ?

Geez garfield why didn’t you just stuff the pills up jons nose and eat a tuna sandwich.

Jon’s lucid moment

That’s actually pretty smart of Jon!

Jon knows Garfield well.

He gave it away in the 3rd panel

Okay, I gotta give to Jon. That was very, very clever

A bit surprising, from Jon. But I guess he’s gotta get a break every so often.

Would Garfield eat it for a Scooby Snack?

I’m guessing Liz made a suggestion to Jon.

Well played Jon, well played

OOOOOOOOHHH

Maybe Jon isn’t as dumb as he looks.

He learned that trick from the iocaine (sp?) scene in Princess Bride.

Garfield will next spit it out like a watermelon seed.

Score a rare win for Jon

It’s missing the final panel — Jon’s eyes fly wide open and thinks, “Oh no! That was the one with the Spanish Fly for Liz!”

Jon with the 1,000 IQ play. I like it.

Remember what I said yesterday about Jon’s intelligence being buried deep within his brain? Well, it looks like it really did emerge at the right moment. Jon was finally successful in getting Garfield to take his pill, using some good old Reverse Psychology.

The master is now the pupil…….

Jon Arbuckle for the win!

Oh no! It’s the old bait and switch!

We’ve been tricked, we’ve been backstabbed, and we’ve been quite possibly bamboozled! Duped! Speckedorfed!

Never thought I would see John pull one over on Garfield.

Amazing! Well, a little benign, gobsmacking astonishment in the morning is good for us.

does Jon have A BRAIN AT TIMES? CALL SPECIALISTS, STAT!

A few of Jon’s brain cells got fried for this

Ok What trick do you use tomorrow?

It’s moments like this that makes October one scary month.

Way to go John!!!

Jon is smarter than he looks, of course he would have to be.

Garfield: 5345 Jon: 2

Well played Jon Arbuckle.

Who is he and how did he outsmart garfield

To those who are so surprised that Jon finally won a round: even the dullest of us shine once in a while.

But still, Jon IS NOT, the sharpest tool in the shed, just the sharpest fool.

i didn’t know he was that intelligent

But do you know?

Yikes… Jon’s getting smarter.
