Garfield by Jim Davis for April 06, 2022

Oh! That’s how you win???

what Jon needs is Lyman for human companionship when Liz isn’t available

Who said, that Dogs were loyal to their masters ?

Beat that, Jon …

Check and Ate!

Yup, Odie licked Jon!

Let’s face it: Odie can’t do the stare from The Queen’s Gambit.

Thy Kingdom come!

Me can bearly plays chess. After five minutes of it, me feels like sleeping.

Poor fellow; he may be passing pawns for the next couple of days!

jots down one more reason to hate chess

Good boy, Odie.

At least it was a chess game if matching with.

And there’s a counter-argument for Jon’s complaint of yesterday…

Of course this leaves one question: Is the rule in chess that says you CAN’T eat the pieces?

Reporter: The game is almost over, folks. Jon has Odie surrounded. But wait! Odie takes Jon’s king and eats it! That was epic, ladies and gentlemen!! Odie is the winner!!!!! :)

Odie probably hid it, not ate it, Jon. Look for it.

There were no knights left because Garfield could eat a horse!

it’s that easy to win a game of chess?

New rule Eat the Queen and win.

I´d like to play chess but my friends hate plaid.

Well, Odie cheated

Surprised that Odie won by eating a chess piece, not surprised that Jon had lost, again…

They’ll be able to play again in a day or so.

I don’t know if you should play poker with Odie, he might eat the cards.

As a long-time chess player (for over a decade now) and a huge fan of Odie, this one made me lol. Score five for the dogs… for showing us a glimpse of his true intelligence.

Come on, let Jon actually win a game for a change! Plus, eating a King from a Chess game is cheating. I wonder if Odie would do the same thing from a Jenga game?

The King’s Dogbit…

Battle of wits between unarmed combatants.

he used the tongue move, definitive. but next match will be in a “few days”

Bob Hope and Bobby Fischer:

Animals make their own rules. That’s why my cat always wins at Checkers.

It’s always a tough match with Jon being so… Jon.

“You bloody psychopath! You ate my king!”-from Superman vs The Elite… maybe

Someone I know moves the pieces when they think no one’s looking, or they knock over all the pieces when one of their pieces gets captured.

Checkmate, Jon !!! … You Lose …

I’m pretty sure that’s not allowed but ok

And all this time I was trying to trap the king

But who won???

What’s worse: Playing chess against a dog with no brain or losing to a dog with no brain?

Eating the rich is a win for the masses.
