Garfield by Jim Davis for April 30, 2024

You should hear Garfield snore, scale.

Luddites unite.

Just like new and improved.

Would you rather the scale tell you that you’re neck and neck with a beached whale which would be an insult instead of a compliment?

I’m not adding another 10 pounds for the tail on the floor.

Garfield, where did you put that hammer?

well, hes not running so obviously he isn’t

At least the scale didn’t compare Garfield to Orson Welles, like one did in the Thanksgiving special, back in the late 1980’s.

That fur adds so much…….

My talking scale said “Would one of you two get off of the scale…?”

Unless the scale knows your height there it can’t judge you as fat. When you see your weight just imagine you are taller and you’re the perfect weight. Yesterday I decided I was 6’ 7".

Them steenky AI.

That’s a real backhanded compliment there

You know, with genai and voice cloning and so on we’ve actually reached a point where someone could make scales that really did behave like this. Of course the company that did it would promptly get sued into th ground but still…

Smart technology ain’t that smart.

“You don’t sweat much for a fat girl.” Beaver Cleaver.

“I HATE TECHNOLOGY”

(imagines a different version of this part of the dialogue of this cartoon)

EVIL TECHNOLOGY

I love how Garfield’s attitude abruptly changed between panels 2 & 3.

A compliment: Considering your weight, you would be a great sumo wrestler.

AS – Artificial Snarkiness.

if doctors where telling the truth

Prepare to be scrap metal, scale.

“You also make an average-weight hippo seem less heavy by comparison.”

I still like a scale that says “Your crushing me!” best.

Looks like he’s lost weight to me from what I recall his earlier days

It’s an unknown fact you weigh a pound less leaning back on the scale then leaning forward.

Annnndddd the scale gets launched into orbit…

ROOOOOOOSSSSSEBUUUUD!

This is the

Local scale cancelled for weight shaming.

to fire up some paranoia, just where is the camera in your smart scale looking when you stand on it?

Garfield you need to get one of the weight losing shots

I wish they’d quit with the scale. I want to see it getting flattened or insulted back.

lol so realatble
