Garfield by Jim Davis for January 17, 2011

you should see a doctor,mr broccoli.i think you cought a cold.

Garfield is so hungry, he’s hallucinating.

Lose any weight yet Garfield?

Hey Garfield, veggies are great when they’re covered with melted cheese.

And Bacon Bits.

. My Dr told me if it taste good …don’t eat it.

That brocoilli would in trubble with me and bowl of onion dip. Not to mention Coliflower.

\\//_

momazilla, anyone who has ever lived with a cat knows that they live in a state of perpetual hallucination.

If you grow your own, you know there are often these little green bugs that look so much like the broc. that they hide in the tiny branches and slip into that boiling water and float to the top when you cook it.

So there CAN be protein, too.

Freeholder,,, Soak your cauliflower and broccoli in salt water overnight before cooking it. Rinse and then cook. Gets rid of the bugs.

Nice try, Garfield, but “healthy” (meaning “in good health”) and “healthful” (meaning “good for your health,” which is what the broccoli actually meant) are two different words. Just because one broccoli floret coughed doesn’t mean that it’s not still good for you!

Hey, why the brocoli talked? They don’t talk, just thought like Garfiled, Spiders, Oddie…

Those veggies must be suicidal – they’re encouraging him to eat them!

Yeah, i know. It also ruins the taste of the broc. Growing it very early in the season before you see the yellow butterflies that lay the eggs for the worms helps, too.

I was merely trying to gross out the Gar readers.

and a lot of salad dressing.

Waiting Man, you are so right!!!!! It is absolutely hysterical watching them stalk, chase, and run from invisible enemies!

But what continually surprises me, is, they’re not as tough as they let on. They’re babies on the inside who need love and affection.

My cat is very independent, a fearless hunter who takes no guff. But once a day, she sits in my arms, hiding her face in the crook of my arm, and kneading her paws like a wee bairn nursing. Then after a bit, off she goes, all “don’t touch me”, ready for mischief and play.

I wonder how Garfield copes with lack of affection? Or, does he have a secret life?

prfesser:

Wait, someone INVENTED broccoli??!!

And yes, Cubby (I think that was the name) was involved in making some of the best Bond films.

WOW!!

Looked it up online - seems to have originally come from Turkey, however, the specific variety we normally eat was developed in Italy. The Brits didn’t like the stuff, and it was brought over by Italian families to the US, but did not become widely known till the 1920’s. Evolved from Kale and is a member of the Cabbage family.

Thats what i think about vegetables.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This makes “junk” food healthy
