Garfield by Jim Davis for December 30, 2021

Hope it’s not raining outside on the way to the dance

Even after being sent back home multiple times because of his outfit, he still doesn’t learn, does he?

Give or take depending on traffic.

For the luva Pete, PUT A DANG SHIRT ON YA NUMBSKULL!!!!!!

Did Jon raid Layman’s closet?

(23 August 1978)

Fashionable and late… you go Jon!

Brought to you by the famous design team of Polly and Esther. Hideous in 1978. Pathetic (and then some) now.

Jon’s got Saturday Night disco, fever.

I’d hate to see Jon dance, when he’s clumsy and the master of disaster.

You can tell by the way Jon uses his walk, he’s a woman’s man. :-)

“You Should Be Dancing”…in 1975.

Jon will be lucky if he’s “Staying Alive” after this.

Elvis presley is offended jon

Sadly, this is one of his best costume…

Jon has no fashion sense.

HOW, as she hasn’t burned all his clothes and forced him to only shop WITH HER!!!

Jon Travolta.

Where can you go in this town to do the hustle?

Somehow I doubt he has The Moves Like Jagger, and definitely not Travolta

Please tell me this is a 70’s retro party!

Liz has been going with him so long, I doubt she will be surprised.

Ok this MIGHT actually be Jon’s best wardrobe yet. And before you debate this, just remember the costume Jon wears for his annual spring dance.

He actually looks pretty good in that outfit. Don’t tell me you didn’t wear stuff like that during the 70’s. Liars.

I think people should wear what they want and nobody should dictate to us what we should wear (there are some limits). I prefer older shirts because they are thicker than today’s shirts which are way too thin…

Larry Laffer called, he wants his leisure suit back.

You left them in 1978.

And I thought Disco was dead, it was killed by a public backlash that reached its peak on July 12, 1979 with the infamous “Disco Demolition” night at Chicago’s Comiskey Park.. Has Saturday Night Fever and John Travolta returned? No it can’t be, this is just a “Welcome Back, Kotter” rerun.

“SEE YOU AT 8:05”

(wonders about this “8:05” mentioned in the cartoon)

The Tony Manero look!

I think Garfield might be a little optimistic this time.

Looks like Jon has had that suit since 1978

Someone tell Jon that the ’70s ended over 40 years ago.

A white belt? So, he’s going for the full Cleveland!

Five minutes?? I would’ve thought Liz would have faster at turning and running than that.

A parody of “Airplane.” :D Yes, I know the film it really comes from.

Nah, Garfield, 8:05 seems pushing it. More like 8:02.

Hmmm… Jon’s suit looks like something from the film “Saturday Night Fever” a 1977 film.

Didn’t Liz give Jon numerous critiques on his choice of clothes before? Did those critiques not stick with him?

If the gold chains get caught in his chest hair, that could really hurt. Told to The Count by a friend. And assuming Jon has chest hair.

Uh Jon, no one wants to see your chest.

With that outfit he needs a chest toupe, hairy chests were In in the 70s.

I am LOLing!!!!

This reminds me of those 2010 comics

If you got the moves, go for it…..

I’m I’m I’m I’m Stayin’ Aliiiiive!

Apparently Jon does not own a calendar. :-) Either that, or he’s doing The Time Warp. Again.

Funny. Usually he gets back at 8:01.

Garf knows Liz better than Jon does

Schlemiel is the only word that comes to mind…..and I am not even …

See you in 1977, I’d say.

That suit went outta style years ago Jon.

Oh boy, this is not gonna go well

Two things, Jon. 1) It’s no longer the 1980s, and 2) You’re not John Travolta.
