Garfield by Jim Davis for September 25, 2022

Beach bum to a whole new level.

That must be over 20 seagulls

saw the Gorilla in Swim Trunks Donkey Kong took the day off or something?

glad he managed to keep the shorts on …. i guess?

Monday’s coming up, for both Jon AND Garfield.

What’s next, Nermal shows up with his disturbing cuteness ?

I guess you could say that Jon is in deep do do do do do do.

so much for a day at the beach, huh, Jon?

Jon’s ALWAYS, being PECKED ON.

It may as well be a gorilla after all that.

Ah, nature in all its glory.

Gorilla in swim trunks: “Hi, uh, I’m here to torment Jon Arbuckle!”

Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!

Jon just has huge animal magnetism.

A bit late for a beach cartoon as autumn is beginning.

At least it wasn’t French fries or there would’ve been A LOT more gulls.

Now I understand why they arrest the jons.

“Seagulls, stop it now !” – Yoda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9t-slLl30E

How is Jon’s body still intact after the encounter with the baby shark?

As someone currently nursing a bee sting just below my right shoulder for once I can sympathise with Jon to a point lol

If not for bad luck, poor Jon wouldn’t have any luck at all.

I think John should go home before something else besides a gorilla comes over.

That pile of seagulls reminds me of the time Garfield took a slice of bread and he also got attacked by seagulls.

Well, I guess that lets out oceanography as an alternative occupation.

Canada Geese land and walk all over the beach for 5 minutes and leave.

John must be next to a sea because if he were next to a bay he’d be hit with bagels.

Way to enjoy that last bit of Summer weather.

Garfield has no stripes in the title card?

I’ve heard of Garfield minus Garfield, but Garfield minus stripes?

Is that sour cream and onion?

Reminds me of this strip

Jon sure can’t catch a break!

So Davis draws the sun.

Jon – aren’t you glad it’s autumn?

Jon Arbuckle is a lightning rod of bad luck.

I have a chocolate chip cookie I’m looking forward to

Maybe Jon shouldn’t go to the beach.

Wait. Just a couple days ago, Liz ran off when Jon mentioned taking his shirt off.

Does that really happen when you open chips or popcorn?

okay, the seagulls and the “gorilla in swim trunks” it’s not something we normally expect for Jon at the beach. but the jellyfish, crab, AND baby shark…he really has to be that nuts at MINIMAL…

Wow, the universe must really hate Jon, even at the beach.

Liz your boyfriend is a loser and an embarrassment. Time to dump him.

At least Jon wasn’t buried in the sand by some muscle guy.

“WHAT NEXT”

(imagines a different version of this part of the dialogue in this cartoon (in a circle similar to the one involving this other part of its dialogue: “IS THAT A GORILLA IN SWIM TRUNKS?”))

I WONDER WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO HIM NEXT?

“Garfield” is a very funny strip, I don’t care what the legion of haters says!

kinda surprised Jon could walk after the 1st 4 panels

Isn’t Monday supposed to be tomorrow?

I live near the coast – with lots of seagulls. (People here like to call them air rats) But I shop at a discount store with a very large, and usually empty parking lot full of gulls. I probably shouldn’t do this, but sometimes I buy a cheap bag of a snack like pop corn and when I leave, go to the far corner of the lot and feed the gulls. It’s pretty fun entertainment for me.

Donald Duck never had luck this bad!

This is inconsistent with how Liz was last Friday when Jon was saying he wanted to walk around with his shirt off all day.

She’s a definite keeper. He better marry her soon before she wakes up…..

the seagulls don’t normally swarm people like that, BUT if you take one step away from your food you will see exactly this. I was on vacation a couple months ago and saw a woman set her food on a beach table, she then stepped away to get napkins and condiments from the station less than 10 feet away, but as soon (like the VERY second) her food was alone over 30 seagulls swarmed the table and ate all of her fries within seconds. Her burger was safe because it was in a closed box, but all of us on the beach god a good chuckle out of the spectacle. (I had eaten at one of those tables as well, but the birds kept there distance because you know, I was THERE)

Aww a shark pup.

“Jon’s Monday”

Bet Ollie (of Quentin and Ollie) is one of the seagull mob.

Before the seagull attack, he looked unbelievably good for someone who was just stung, snapped and chomped.

If it is a gorilla, Garfield, you better make sure Jon doesn’t have any bananas.

If only Jon had Circus Peanuts and Animal Crackers.

Blasphemy! https://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2022/09/25

Makes me think in not growing up near a beach, I didn’t miss much.

I don’t like Seagulls they are always picking on me.

I didn’t know Garfield strip characters were allowed the leave the house. It’s been decades!

It’s finger licking good time, for Garfield.

Harambe but it is not a small child, it is Jon.

I dislike the beach anyway

How

poor jon, didn’t get to see the monke

Jon is like a lightning rod for bad luck.
