Garfield by Jim Davis for May 18, 2010

Now all he has to do is find someone who will want to talk to him.

Does Jon know how to turn it on?

Jon gets new gadgets just to be cool….

Is Garfield thinking that a ‘geek’ can look ‘chic’? At least he is not wearing one of those ‘way out’ tops.

Look, will it matter WHICH ear it is on…straight or….?

Would be an interesting, yet boring, Garfield Minus Garfield.

How could it be both interesting and boring?

Yes, strange as it sounds there is such a thing as “geek chic”. ThinkGeek and similar organizations do a thriving business thanks to that. And that’s the one relatively sensible fashion decision (after its, uh, fashion) that I’ve seen Jon make, so maybe he’s finally found his niche…

Jon, resistance is not futile in your case. Nice guitar plucker though.

It looks like he is going to a Star Trek Convention as Uhura

LOL pamlicorat!

Jon’ll be lucky if he can actually use it without getting an ear shock!

Cancer of the ear hairs.

Garfield, bet you can’t say that 3 times fast.

@VistaBill: Does Jon know how to turn on his brain on somtimes?

That’s not geek chic, it’s dweeb feeb. The only way he could make it worse is dress up in cycling clothes.

someday he may even get a cell phone

0308,,,, It’s just a headset not hooked to anything? Remember that he had a hard time getting reception on his cell phone yesterday with his rabbit ear legs..

I thought he did have a cell phone, rac0308.

May his ear get Bluetooth decay.

Out of all the modern-day technology inspired by Star Trek, why did one of those things have to come from Uhura’s earpiece?

Who does he talk to with his weird gadget on his ear? I think he talks to himself!

LOLs! You got that perfectly! X-D

One, Jon isn’t a geek, he’s a nerd. Two, he does talk to his girlfriend, Liz, on the phone. Three, wireless headsets can also be purchased for landline phones if he doesn’t have a cell.

Straight out of GQ (Geeks’ Quarterly)

If you see anyone with one in both ears, run as fast as you can. It would be a sign that the Cybermen have crossed over from the alternate reality. Of course they may get into a shooting war with the Daleks.

From an episode of Dr Who a couple of years ago.

It just looks weird talking to someone with it on…that’s why I stuck to cell phones.
