Garfield by Jim Davis for January 22, 2021

Mission Impossible 8!

Next, he’s going to try changing a light bulb…All by himself!

Having my bowels resected, I can appreciate the work Liz did!

bravo, Jon

Alas, the remote now opens and closes the garage door and ignores the TV.

Yup, that sounds about right.

And the Great Dane was Marmaduke .

I hope she washed her hands after.

Oh…Jon my hero!

Liz: Surgery for living things; Jon: Surgery for non-living things

It’s a skill…

We still don’t know whether he put the batteries in the proper direction.

Yipppeeeee!!!!!!

Now if he could just program the remote to work the TV and cable box, that’d be impressive

To each his (or her) own…skill level, that is. :D

I forget, but, what does Jon do for a living? Is he independently wealthy, or something?

What does John do for money?

Jon, I’m so proud of you!

Was his name Marmaduke, Liz?

Our neighbours had a Great Dane once. It was white with black patches and it looked like, and was almost as big as, a bovine calf. I remember it had problems with it’s bowels too.

Whats next, is he going to eat all of his vegatables XD

Took just as long because he had to find the instruction manual in the kitchen junk drawer.

And Garfield, uh you get the idea

What is Jon’s J O B ?

It’s weird. Jon and Liz have been going out in the strip for so long, I forgot that Liz was also a veterinarian. Then again, I’m sure a lot of people forget that Jon’s actual occupation is a cartoonist.

What DOES Jon do for a living?

Stop the presses! Jon Arbuckle accomplished something all by himself, without any consequences.

Jon…GET A LIFE!!

he put on fursuit and act like a crazy cat all day !

Marry her quick before she gets away. You never know when you might need an emergency bowel resection…..

*clap *clap *clap

Hey, I GET IT! I can’t handle blood.. it takes a special person to handle that kind of care! I, on the other hand, can work with mechanical house stuff!

Bravo, Jon! You finally did something all by yourself and didn’t suffer any indignities for it!

You da man.

It’s important to make the best use of the skills one has.

Who loads batteries into a remote like a gun?

Good thing it was a Great Dane. Imagine having to do surgery on a teeny tiny dog.

Good boy!

Jon now calls the remote, “Great Dane” to compensate.

In the current comic, is Jon still a cartoonist? He introduced himself that way in the very first Garfield, but we haven’t seen much of that in recent years. Course, if he continued to add years along with Garfield, he’d be retired by now!

Yeah, but he had to use a Youtube ‘How-to’ video to learn how to do it.

Liz did a better job doing something by herself than Jon did IMO. She did something constructive. #womenrule :)

Question is, is Jon displaying his limited intelligence, or did he just say the first thing that popped into his head, in a desperate attempt to change the subject?

It’s not brain surgery.

Oooh, that’s very brave of you Jon.

What’s next, putting batteries in a taser ?

well I’M proud of him.. jeez

Or he smashes his thumb with the hammer.

I thought the bowel would be IN a great dane.Must have been messy

HoW dId He Do ThAt?!?!?!?!?
