Garfield by Jim Davis for August 11, 2022

Papers are a lot more useful than we think.

is there an app for that?!?

You can whack a spider with a smartphone or iPhone, but you risk doing damage to it if you whack the spider too hard. One time I used a television remote to kill a big spider, and they’re more able to endure whacking.

True wrinkled up paper is better then cracked screen

Why do all spiders in Garfield have six legs? Inquiring minds, etc.

It’s spider season here once more. I go out in morning to feed the 4 leggers and there’s new spider webs every morning.

Just use your smartphone to squish it, then!!

Does Garfield realize he’s whacked the same spider for 40 years? That thing has never died lol

Garfield vs spiders. He is just using the most effective weapon against those sneaky spiders.

where is John?

I leave the spiders alone; they eat the flies.

I no longer subscribe to newspapers or magazines, so I use a flip flop

Ah the Sunday funnies were the best when the ink still transferred. Many a Sunday after church with silly puddy, making the comics even funnier :)

I noticed that the last drawing of Garfield looks a little bit rushed.

Our morning daily newspaper is so small we now call it the brochure. Sad, really.

In panel 2, there’s a red dot near Garfield’s fingers

You can use that phone that’s really hard but its not a smartphone

Garfield, never say never, unless you have tried it.

You can also reuse old newspapers from the 1960’s they were stronger and can kill a hundred’s of spiders in 60 years.

Finally, a use for The NY Times besides lining a bird cage…

A lot of people have been saying that newspapers are slowly getting replaced by smartphones.

Garfield is making sure that his newspaper is at least black and white and red all over.

I don’t recommend neither rolling up your smartphone nor whacking things with it. So maybe there is a plus side to the paper…

I grew up in Muncie, IN. Paws, Inc., the Garfield headquarters, is nearby. The morning newspaper was called The Muncie Star. Muncie is known as Middletown, USA. So the name on the newspaper is a reference to those. Yes, I know nobody asked. :^|

spider’s lives matter too

HEHEHE. With a good strong case on it you can whack spiders with your phone

Newspapers work well, but we have good fly swatters.

I just call SWAT

you can…but you then need to buy a new phone…

You may also break that potentially expensive smartphone.

Who said print is Dead? A Spider, maybe?

sell the idea to apple for a future iphone

And you can’t cut a comic out of a smartphone and hang it outside your cubicle at work.

Garfield has a good point.

For as cheap as our local paper has gotten (now, only a few thin pages), you could whack the spider, and it would laugh, and just walk off.

I’d use a magazine as well.

is that a challenge?

yeah
