Garfield by Jim Davis for July 24, 2016

In Jon’s defence, that kind of distraction would probably cause anyone to forget what they came to buy, or even the fact that they were there to buy in the first place.But then again, that’s probably the point. That kind of thing is always happening to Jon.

One millionth customer of the store for the day, or since the store opened?

Wait…they didn’t give Jon a prize? Like free light bulbs?! What kind of contest was that???!

Seems a sort of “Groundhog Day”

If the very same thing happens on that second trip, that means they are time traveling…

If Jon would install LEDs, this probably wouldn’t happen.

But he would still be a loser. Except for Liz….

now THIS is a Garfield Sunday strip

I have CFL’s and LED’s that are daylight. I like the cold bluish light they make. I can’t stand warm white. Even cool white is too warm.

Couldn’t Garfield be the one millionth customer?

Wonder what the prize was. A year’s supply of light bulbs?

It doesn’t even show him getting a prize. What’s the big deal about being the 1,000,000th customer without a prize?

Jon got to put his arm around a pretty girl. For him, that’s a prize!

To be fair, everybody forgets to buy the one thing they need at the store on a regular basis, so Jon’s hardly alone on this.

So um what did Jon get for being the millionth customer ? I mean besides the all the pomp & ceremony ?

To be the one millionth customer, should’nt he have bought something first?

Congratulations, Jon!

But that’s not an Apple store.

I have a chandelier that has many little bulbs. Used to use incandescent. One day I saw a special on LED in that small size. They were expensive but I thought, hey, they should last a long time and save money in the long run, right? I would replace incandescent as they burned out. Guess what? Before all the incandescents were replaced, LED bulbs started going out. Bummer and one BIG FAT RIPOFF.

Comes back and “YOU ARE THE ONE BILLIONTH CUSTOMER!!!!!”

Why not just go in and out of the store a million times so he gets counted as a customer a million times?

One of my favourite comics for absolutely no reason – Poor Jon though.

I don’t get it
