Garfield by Jim Davis for November 13, 2018

Do I really have to?

Pooky for sure is the only one who can defend Garfield because he always agrees with him.

Except for those who know him.

He’s nice on the inside, but mean on the outside.

Present company excluded, right?

don’t mind them Garfield – they are just jealous of you.

A legend in his own lunchtime

If Lyman were still around, maybe he cut put in a good word for you, Garfield.

Garfield just crop-dusted Jon and Odie. Poor fellas. All that lard combines for true toxicity.

The origin of the word “nice”, according to etymonline.com:

nice (adj.)

late 13c., “foolish, stupid, senseless,” from Old French nice (12c.) “careless, clumsy; weak; poor, needy; simple, stupid, silly, foolish,” from Latin nescius “ignorant, unaware,” literally “not-knowing,” from ne- “not” (from PIE root *ne- “not”) + stem of scire “to know” (see science).

Who wants to be ‘nice?’ I am ‘mean,’ and I have references, just ask any of my thirteen grandchildren. Despite being the ‘mean Grinch,’ I happen to be the FAVORITE relative, just ask those same thirteen grandchildren and their cousins.

Smile! It makes everyone wonder what you’ve been up to!!

You’ll never pull that off. You’ve got too many witnesses.

Odie’s kinda cute when he’s mad.

Make me nice with two people angry at me.

I love you Garfield, but I don’t want to end up on Santa’s naughty list for telling a fib!

Notice he says “Almost”
