Garfield by Jim Davis for June 28, 2022

I want to have ice powers! Who agrees?

I’m not sure what I want my super power to be

Jon’s superpowers are — in this case — poverty and starvation.

If you could actually taste all of the donut-y goodness of what you ate so fast, I might be impressed.

Invisibility. Most of the people at work never actually see me.

Well when I was 14, it was to be able to down a bottle of Diet Rite soda in a gulp or two; but that was before my mom got me into the hospital to see a doctor; and I was diagnosed with diabetes; and they took that superpower away and extended my lifespan.

I can make ice cube melt just by staring at them, it takes a while, but it works……..

Can I be your sidekick?

i can cook fast enough for garfield to eat

That is a superpower? I would rather be able to fly.

My cats never liked donuts, but then the dog always got to the crumbs first.

So then diets would be his version of kryptonite?

Garfield is like no cat I know. Most of the cats that ate on my porch would take 10 minutes to eat a handful of cat food. Not that I ever fed them donuts, you understand.

Something

Garfield’s been training under Kirby I see

I will be your sidekick Garfield

That is impressive.

nothing that fantastic I’m sure… :\

I saw the barn cat catch and eat a cute chipmunk and disembowel an adorable baby bunny. It won’t touch a doughnut.

Having way more story ideas than I’ll likely ever have a chance to write

If I had that many donuts, the sugar overload would probably kill me…

I can read Garfield and comment on his shenanigans while wagging my head. I have to admit it isn’t always easy and I make typos from time to time but it mostly worrx out…

Uh-Oh, We’re In Trouble, donuts came Along and Burst my Bubble. My diet is shot now, I want Donuts with icing and sprinkles. Maybe some cream filling too. I must go to Krispy Kreme. Garfield it’s all your fault!!! Diet is shot. Uh-Oh, We’re In Trouble, And When We Get In We’re Gonna Get Fat!

Now that’s a power of super-inhalation if I ever saw one. Too bad the power of super-sharing isn’t in Garfield’s repertoire.

That’s not Garfield, That’s Garzooka!

What’s your A1C #?

Gaining weight…

To answer your question, Garfield, I can rattle off 20 digits of pi from memory. That’s about the coolest thing I know how to do.

I have an extremely highly attuned sense of irony.

I’ve always thought Snarf would be his hero. He is a ThunderCat.

My superpower is suffering Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Google it. I dare you.

His breed is a gluttony cat!

Not falling asleep during science lessons.

since when gluttony PLUS hamster cheeks is a super power?

Not snarfing, I know that much.

Resisting donut’s temptation . . . ?

Besides, these days, a lot of them you buy in stores, either bakery or boxed, give me odd heartburn or come back up on me. So, the decision is made easier.

Snarf??

I can do that too.

Why is a gluttonous cat funny?

Mine is not as impressive as yours, Garfield. I just have the knack for happiness. And now I’d like to go to Krispy-Kreme.

See the pic on the cover of “Dog eat dog” by Rosenfelt. Cute pug and grrreat donuts!

Having a functional pancreas.

I can teleport only when no one’s paying attention

The ability to eat quickly is a primitive survival mechanism, to avoid predators. The ability to store the food as fat is also a survival mechanism, as the animal (or proto-human) can’t be sure where and when its next meal comes. But to lose weight one can chew slowly and thoroughly, letting the saliva mix with the food, savoring the flavor.
