Garfield by Jim Davis for January 08, 2021

scrams all the way to Morocco

To see a real accordion player. (Cough) Weird Al!

It’s Weird Jon Arbuckle… :-)

“FREEBIRD!” ;)

Tejano?

PLAY like nobody’s listening

Jon: “Whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong. Whether I find a place in this world or never belong. I gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me. What else can I be but what I am

I want to live, not merely survive. And I won’t give up this dream Of life that keeps me alive. I gotta be me, I gotta be me, The dream that I see makes me what I am"

The Polkalypse is coming … RUN FOR YOUR LIVES !!!!

AAAAAHHHHHHH !!!! ….

There goes the neighbourhood.

Now’s not the right time to go crazy, Jon.

Let us eat drink and be merry. For tomorrow we have to move to a new neighborhood.

What did you expect? She is his doctor. She prevented cruelty to an animal.

It means everybody else is about to become unhappy.

Myron Floren he’s not.

Ah! I miss the Alexander Brothers….

“And a one, and a two … I don’t want her, you can have her, she’s too fat for me ….” (the Too Fat Polka by the real polka king, Frankie Yankovic .. no relation to Weird Al).

Probably the fastest that Liz and Garfield have probably run in their lives!

don’t kill everyone with your acordeon

we must make jon deppressed from now on

It’s Jon Schmenge – the Happy Wanderer!

“Roll out the barrels, we’ll have a barrel of fun”.

If he had a bagpipe, I’d stay. If he new how to play it well, that is.

Flashback to the Lawrence Welk show…

Thanks for bringing light to this topic J-Man (Jim Davis)! ACCORDIANS ARE NOT BORING or ANNOYING! (Sorry for all caps)

good idea

poor guy. garfield. hope he doesnt die.

Well a 1 and a 2 and a !

Run away, run away!

A different country.

They probably didn’t want to get to the Polka Accordion Fest. Let’s say they (snicker) had other things to do, places to be… Yeah?

They left to go to the chicken place to get a big fat chicken leg

If I were Garfield, that torture device would have been long gone by now

Lawrence Welk

I would like to know/learn how to play the accordion. Yes – I know how disturbing this is.

Should’ve known the danger the moment Jon said, "I’M FEELING HAPPY!’’.

At least it wasn’t the banjo. (Yes, I “play” one)

FLEEEEE!!!

I Love Garfield

Do you take requests John? If so please play Beer Barrel Polka and Blue Tango, thanks in advance

What is up with everyone’s aversion to accordions in this strip? Did Jim Davis want to poke fun at them?

What is wrong with you guys. I like accordion and bag pipe music.

To get their bagpipes? Trio of unusual music

Accordion to Jon, this is fun.

They went in your face kid.

Everyone step back – I feel “happy feet” coming on!

If I stand still and don’t make a peep, maybe he won’t notice me…

let him play >:o(

When I was about 8 years old my parents decided I needed to learn to play a musical instrument. It was an Accordion they chose. It was almost as big as I was at that time. Fortunately that did not last long once my parents started to hear me play it.

To save their ears

Jon you aren’t very good with an accordion.

No mi accordiono, no mi Jonno. #mockitalian #accordionprobs :]

To go to a Jon- free Island

They went to get their banjos for a trio
