Garfield by Jim Davis for April 11, 2022

As seen by Garfield rapidly moving his arms.

Not true Garfield. Your arms and mouth will have a workout, but your belly won’t. You’ll look like a triangle.

if you still eat fast enough, you’re bound to choke and won’t be able to swallow

Wishful thinking.

I have a puppy that can clean his bowl in 3 bites.

I’ll remember that, it’s the same if you eat off someone else’s plate, it’s their calories…..

It’s a race to the finish between Garfield, Dagwood, Jeremy, Homer, Shaggy and Scooby Doo!

If you eat fast enough to vomit you also get no calories and it counts as crunches.

Question…why is the fat cat giving diet tips?

not actually true, but funny nonetheless.

Actually, I was always taught that the reverse was true.

I must remember this.

That could work

Burn Baby Burn?

YYYeeaaaahhhh….. kaj Teksaso estas farita el Teksaso.

If that was true, Garfield would be a svelt cat, instead of a tubby hair ball.

If you eat fast, you swallow more air, which can cause bloating & gas

That’s a 500 IQ strategy if I ever heard one.

Tried that. My esophagus disagrees

That doesn’t work that way, Garfield. And there’s a good chance that Jon agrees with me.

So that’s the secret. Worth a try, especially when it involves cake….

that is smart, also deadly

I am almost positive that’s not how that works.

If only.

Definitely a male.

I never understood gobbling down food (unless you had others actively competing for a small amount). Some people eat so fast I wonder how they even taste the food.

The cat’s a pig.

In more than four decades of reading this strip, I can barely recall any such instances where my reaction was anything but positive. Generally, that’s also true today, save for one minor detail. For my money, the use of the letters N, O and M together to describe some sort of favorite reaction to a particular food item has to be one of the most asinine and annoying phrases in the English language. A real nails on the blackboard item. Okay, that’s it. I’m sure tomorrow’s installment will be right back up there with the standard of the past four decades. Carry on, then!

been a while since we didn’t get a Garfield “lie of the day”.

Curtis is repeating a storyline this week and it made me realize that Garfield has never had any reruns!

I wish he ate lasagna

If you sleep fast enough you may have bad dreams

well, obviously, this trick does not work. just look at him.

Another dieting secret is the one that says broken cookie pieces leak calories.

Yeahhhhh … let me know how that works out for you.

Like how CHEwing the celery is actually minus calories!

If you eat fast enough, you just puke it back up. I have a cat that we have to feed a few kernels at a time, or he does just that.
