Garfield by Jim Davis for December 11, 2022

Hey, more trees mean more presents, right?

Garfield can put the red ornament in the tree that’s next to him

tree salesman must be that desperate to get rid of his inventory

The tree salesman reminds me of the boat salesman, from The Monkey Island series.

Or Mad Magazine!!!

For “budget” line trees, WOW

Jon has low sales resistance. Maybe that’s why Liz doesn’t kick him to the curb.

This is retreeculous!

Jon is such an easy mark it seems

Which tree in the lot was Odie using to mark his territory?

There’s one born every minute.

The guy was probably a cars salesman before he became a Christmas tree salesman. Jon got lucky that he got four Christmas trees instead of four cars at his yard.

I was going to ask why Garfield did nothing to intervene, but he probably liked the idea of multiple trees too much to care

So we’ve got a tree for Odie, a tree for Garfield, a tree for Jon and one for Liz!

Jon should have gotten just 3 trees instead of 4, one for him, one for Garfield, and one for Odie.

Not just a Christmas Tree, but a Christmas Forest! How wonderful! :)

Next year, either take Garfield or Liz tree hunting to keep from getting yourself conned, Jon.

(remembers a certain “Garfield and Friends” character named “Mister Swindler” after having had seen and read this cartoon due to a certain speaker of some of its dialogue (example some of that dialogue: “YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN WHO NEEDS A TREE!”))

Whoa, Jon. No need to get so grouchy

3 trees = 3x the amount of presents under them :)

Curse those slimy salesmen!!!

Also, nothing wrong with artificial trees. That’s what my family does.

Jon runs afoul of a huckster…

News claimed a shortage of trees this year — This could be the cause of that.

That Christmas tree salesman must be a relative of Mr. Swindler from the “Garfield and Friends” TV series.

The salesman looks like something by Mad Magazine artist Don Martin.

How cute Garfield and odie each get their own tree!!!

Jon’s math deficiency bites him in the rear.

Hello sir, This is Sally speaking, I’m calling you to remind you that your tree warranty is about to expire.

At least it isn’t Al J Swindler.

During the rest of the year the guy’s a car salesman.

Odie now has several places to go to the “restroom”.

Well, if the man is going to sucker you into getting all those trees. You better go get some more decorations.

And here I thought we were going to have a shortage of trees this year.

My—what big teeth you have …

that salesman sure could smell the idiot in the lot for sure…

In the off season he sells Ice to Eskimos.

Say… Don’t you have a brother in the hotel racket, er, business?

I get the classic Garfield comics. I have noticed a big change in the amount of action in the comics over the years. This Sunday offers a good example of what I’ve been noticing: https://www.gocomics.com/garfield-classics/2022/12/11?ct=v&cti=45059

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, how gullible Jon paid a lot for thee.

I despise con men
