Garfield by Jim Davis for October 18, 2021

Next time, he’s going to try for a permit.

Sigh! (i should not be going here – but) A doctors note is a mandate, Jon. Nothing you can do about it.

What is his illness?

Garfield learned how to forge Liz’s signature.

He has dropsy and heart trouble, he drops down and ain’t got the heart to get back up.

Kids be like

Yes he can Jon he’s Garfield

Fake doctors note?! Bruh that’s so elementary school, it works though, I never did it

He’s good at lying there all day.

I got a doctor’s note, but my insurance refuses to honor it.

Could I get one?

Now lemme get some rest Jon :l

The note is legit I can’t read it

All Garfield has to do is move over 8 inches then he is not lying in the “there” that Join was alluding to!

Dr Sleep?

I call baloney. If you look at that doctor’s note closely enough you’ll see it was signed by “Dr. Katz”!

This raises all sorts of questions and yet I feel like learning the answers would spoil the comic

“Please excuse Garfield from any activities-he has an acute case of laziness! Signed, Garfield’s mother”

Or maybe it’s Garfields COVID vaccine proof card.

The last time I had a note like that from the orthopedist, my primary doctor put me on Xarelto to avoid thrombosis.

The doctor’s note probably say that Garfield should sleep because it’s Monday

Garfield could always apply for a “Religious” exemption.

Nice try, cat. But nope. Lemme see a veterinarian’s note if ya gots one.

Checkmate, Jon! Back to square one.

We all had Doctors papers, not one of us was ill.

I need a new Doctor, he never gave me a note when I was ill.

Dr. Feelgood…

No; that’s a death certificate. She thought you were dead.

It’s possible that Garfield forged that Doctor’s note himself. Now if only Calvin would learn to take notes from that, and he would be more successful with his schemes.

Garfield is just following his dreams.

No doubt fabricated.

who’s the doctor?

Garfield did move … his arm. :-)

I like how Jon is trying to get a housecat to be productive.
