Garfield by Jim Davis for November 10, 2022

I wouldn’t call that “new”.

Another two rides the bus.

Well, he is not wrong…

And it’s badly played polka music at that.

ok guys we follow – shut down this strip and close the browser

Use it as an excuse to go visit your mom, Garfield.

We used to go get the Sunday paper every week and my father played that in the car…I dunno why? We’re not Polish, but there wasn’t much on the radio anyways on a Sunday AM

The bad news is you got rid of your cat too.

The look on the mouse’s face is a hoot

Polka, polka, polka. Its big in Sheboygan. :) (P.S.Home Alone reference)

I remember in grade school learning to sing “The Beer Barrel Polka” as part of our music class, and then performing it at a school board wide concert held at the local university. It actually left me enjoying polka music.

Ahh so when your cat leaves and just re-appears 3 months later it is because you played bad music.

Jon … NOW is the right time to order out for a nice Detroit style thick crust pizza … bet the aromas from that would bring Garfield back … lock all the doors and eat the pizza at a window while he drools (while holding a sign: Hungry? Eat the mouse!)

Jon crossed the line and Garfield decided to leave. The good news is that lasagna will bring Garfield back home.

The ASPCA will hear about this

Ahh yes nothing like the classics like She’s to fat for me

Can’t outrun your stomach there Garfield ole buddy…………

Where’s Odie?

Time to go to Abu Dhabi, Garfield?

Our current priest won’t let us have Polka Mass anymore. I miss the sausage/sauerkraut dinner dance afterwards.

Seems like a good way to get rid of most people who aren’t you Jon

Grr…..

I really get sick and tired of people insulting my cultural heritage.

Just open the fridge door Jon, Garfield will be straight back.

Polka music as such wouldn’t drive me out. Jon’s performance of polka music might.

If Jon wanted to get rid of me, he could play some rap. Don’t know what Garfield and Squeaky would think of that.

By the way, you don’t have to be Polish to enjoy a polka. Here’s a version for Chinese dulcimer.

and Garfield too it seems… anyone else?

go on youtube and type in heavy metal polka music…it’s cool

“The Pied Accordion Player”.

more to get rid of EVERYONE. Odie must be already out to not be following them.

Well… It worked… Sort of…

You’d think Garfield would be used to polka by now, but nope. It’s still enough to drive him away.

Play on, Jon. I love polka music. I’ll have to play some tomorrow at the rest home. And if it rids the house of nasty pests, so much the better. Polka rules.

It worked too well Jon.

Jon’s accordion is sure to drive mice and other sentient beings out of the house!

in the stories of jeeves and wooster, jeeves finally has enough of his master and gives notice when bertie takes up playing the trombone.

The original forbidden dance!

A twofer…

Hmm…if Weird Al’s album sales drop off, he’s got a backup career available.

Not a Weird Al fan, I guess.

Woo hoo. You got rid of a rat and a worthless cat. You win!

Just one mouse is leaving? Why not all the other mice?

Jon is polka dotty.

Getting rid of the cat with the mouse is like throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Where’s Odie? He should be headed out the door with them.

Got rid of two rats with one tune…

Jon’s plan worked a little too well.

Garfield will be back when he gets hungry.

Perfect

on the other hand… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDFFUIGoBUc

Jon should have done that along time ago!

Cruel and unusual punishment indeed

(senses a panel of this cartoon that could be interpreted in various ways (specifically the one without dialogue))

That’s a staple of wedding receptions in Wisconsin. I’m pretty sure it’s required by law.

You’ll be back Garfield……….

That, or bagpipes!

That worked WAY too well.

Anna one, Anna two..

After all those years of shouting at the cat to get rid of them, this is all it took in the end.

I LOL’d

Today is the last time Garfield tweeted so far. :-(
