Garfield by Jim Davis for October 04, 2020

That eraser looks like a jelly bean

So graceful!

Wow, that Orange judge is TOUGH!

Too much splash! The judges might be too generous! (Grin!)

time for Jon to put away the kiddy pool until next summer and then get out the rake

The long-forgotten autumn Olympics.

Where’s the, GREEN LEAVES, as green as the leaves grow.

I’VE FALLen, and I CAN’T GET UP !!!

The Russian leaf scored it a 2.0.

Fall has it’s compensation’s

This is unbeleafable.

Come on, Orange Leaf Judge, he’s your same “leaf race”

Similar theme in today’s Diamond Lil.

6.5? Wow! That was at least a 7.5!

The judges gave a raw (combined) score of 22. With a degree of difficulty of 2, the leaf’s total score is a 44 (based on this article on judging a diving competition).

I’ve seen leaves fall like in panel 5. That last turn deserves a 9.8

Russian judge…

What did the East German judge say?

clean entry

Ever seen a leaf do a swan dive?

6.5? Bruno Tonioli always gives a TEN!! for a great performance.

Darn that Russet Judge… ☺

What? No perfect score?

The orange leaf has to be Simon Cowell

Sentient leaves? Count me in!

I call this “synchronized diving, autumn edition” with Garfield as either the observer or head coach. #leavesintheolympics :)

What the heck?

The leaf Olympic Games of course! lol!

Wait hold on a sec…..WHATS GOIN ON????

Should have twigged. Didn’t stick the landing.

I give it a 7

Yeah, LeeCox! 6.5! If I was a judge in that, I would give him 7.5

Im with the red leaf judge
