Garfield by Jim Davis for February 21, 2023

Watch TV on a phone. Genius!

Before the advent of TV, it was the radio.

Garfield’s watching Catflix.

s’pose that candy ain’t gonna crush itself

Attention MichaelAxeFleming see my response to your joke on yesterday’s strip.

Garfield must be sick today.

Seeing TV, YouTube videos, playing videogames, texting, comics, so many things involve a screen! Although not necessarily the last one.

From IdiotBox to DumbSlate – yup, we are moving forward.

Probably watching himself on Youtube.

And then sooner or later, Garfield will claim that there’s nothing good on the phone!

yup, staring at a tinier screen sure is… :J

I tend to have nothing exciting on TV and play on the iPad.

So real

And when that’s done he’ll sleep on Jon till Jon can’t feel his legs anymore

Funny . . . not funny. Before the advent of "smart"phones, parents would rail against us kids wasting time in front of the TV. But I don’t hear today’s parents doing the same admonishment about smartphones. Usually because those same parents are just as stuck in their devices as their kids.

real

He’s probably ordering lasagna.

(imagines this cartoon being part of a serialized story)

Why not do both? Multitasking!

I read books and newspapers on my phone. Just sayin’.

With the overload of commercials that are repeated ad nauseum, I am guilty of this too! In fact the only time I don’t need my iPhone is when I’m watching a recording of a show – then the remote is in hand.

Yeah so much to learn…..on social media lol

Garfield needs a hobby. So do I.

That’s pretty much the same thing as sitting and watching TV

Has to be tik tok

Garfield, you’re pretty much doing the same thing as watching TV, except it’s with your phone.

My phone is a much lesser substitute for when I’m not home with my computer.

Same here! That’s why I’m reading cartoons…wait…

Social media

Are you going to watch “Garfield & Friends” on your phone, Garfield?

from one screen to another…

Garfield began way back in 1978 when all phones were still on landlines. This marvellous strip will turn forty-five in July.

Is he streaming his cell?…

he’s makin’ catcalls
