Garfield by Jim Davis for July 14, 2022

shouldn’t the webbing from the spider’s spinnerets have snapped off?

We’ve all dealt with those “should I eat this now or save it for later?” situations.

Well, at least it wasn’t Garfield, who splatted the spider this time.

That spider’s a glutton for punishment.

And pigs still fly, huh!?!

this joke fell flat

Haha, maybe it’s diet time for both Garfield and the Spider.

That spider certainly isn’t what he eats.

Quick, get a newspaper and SPLAAAT him!

A self splatting spider…..

But technically, spiders don’t eat their prey, they suck their blood

Like you’re one to talk, Garfield!

Go right to your hips. All 8…err…6 of them.

I’m not sure I want to know what kind of fly he’s been feasting on

Big evening out at that new combo diner/nightclub, the Fly By Night, eh?

Well, he saved Garfield the trouble of squishing him.

How are flies fattening?

At the house we lived in in college, we had a huge spider in the living room. We adopted it, named him “Boris” and fed him. There were six of us who were constantly catching flies to bring home to Boris. One day, poor Boris just croaked. We probably fed him too much.

Thursdays are the days for either Pooky, spiders, or mice. This is not always the case, but it’s typically on a Thursday when one of these three appears.

I LOVE Garfield!!! I always start my day with him!

Technically this is a comic/ cartoon.

Perhaps tighten up the sphincter that produces that web stuff

I am sorry, but I just cannot abide a 6 legged cartoon spider. Please add 2 legs and re-publish cartoon.

(imagines different versions of the dialogue in this cartoon)

DID YOU GAIN SOME WEIGHT RECENTLY?

YEAH. I BELIEVE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT THIRD FLY I HAD TO EAT RECENTLY (sorry flies, I wish I were vegetarian or vegan)

“I don’t know why she swallowed the fly. I guess she’ll die.” – Burl Ives

didn’t that “burn” on that special place where the thread is coming out at that speed?

Just eat the good parts! (Don’t ask…)

We all get a little greedy with food.

“Time’s fun when you’re having flies!” Kermit T Frog

Thanks though. It saved me from exercising by swatting you…

Curse you, Garfield! That third fly was your secret Gravitational Enhancement Device!!

Switch to the gnat diet

Spider lost 2 legs in the fall somehow.

I do believe that Garfield still detests spiders.

Ah that’s nothing. If Garfield falls like that the whole ground shakes.

Hahahahahahaha!

I don’t want to offend anyone that likes these comics, but i want to point out my opinion: this isn’t funny. Half the jokes are just repeated “i like unhealthy food” or “Jon and Odie’s an idiot” or Spider jokes like this, and it lacks originality almost half the time, Garfield was good for like eight years, but after that, it became repetitive almost all the time, half the comics are literally made for profit and heck, even US Acres was cancelled because it didn’t rack up enough money, i’m not saying that this comic is bad, i’m just saying it’s just been lackluster since the first few years. Okay? Now, goodbye for now.

Okay. I know i said goodbye, but i also want to point out the copy-and-paste, why? the overuse of the copy-and-paste is very cheesy, and it’s pretty boring to look at the same facial expressions 24/7, the good humor of Garfield sort of returned back in 2014 with a great one here https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2014/07/27, but other than that, i find how Jim Davis is treating Garfield is actually better than how Gallagher is treating Heathcliff, cause, at least the jokes in Garfield is more comprehensible in Garfield than the latter. But still, the humor in Garfield really took a dramatic downfall.

Let alone that fourth for dessert.
