Garfield by Jim Davis for September 20, 2022

Let’s see if the mothership from Close Encounters will be successful.

The tractor beam shows otherwise.

The ship is too small, Unless it’s like a TARDIS.

yeah, dream on

Let’s just say the force of gravity is strong on this one.

You wouldn’t want to abduct him even if you could. He’d eat all of your food without a second thought.

No one said you were buddy. It’s a small ship.

Garfield’s not fat, he’s just big boned, that’s all.

An alien abduction, gone wrong.

In an early Simpsons Halloween episode, the aliens needed to use two tractor beams to abduct Homer.

catdependance day!

I guess that those aliens have never heard of transporters.

I saw a UFO New years eve two years ago. I was fat then but now I have lost a lot of weight. I might not go outside this New Years Eve.

He has a black hole in his stomach. That’s why they couldn’t abduct him.

Wait a minute… Garfield used to be “fat and lazy and proud of it.” Now he’s in denial of his fatness? Must be old age.

Maybe he just objects to other people pointing out his weight?

Denial is the first stage.

Yes, you are, Garfield, and so am I. I’m too fat and too poor. So I’m not levitatable or rich enough to hack.

Studies have shown that heavier people are harder to kidnap. Here’s the proof.

sometimes it pays to be fat… from being abducted or kidnapped. :)

Really LITTLE green men.

Well, that abduction was a flop

Thanks the alien Garfield, it gave you a good shave.

“I’m not overweight, I’m undertall.”

Well if the aliens can’t beam up Garfield, then Aunty should feel really safe right now.

Garfield is bigger than the ship!

The aliens are going to need a bigger space ship.

yeah sure…it was “gravity faults”, right Garfield?

They went back to get a bigger ship

Their advanced technology is no match for our puny weapons.

What about Kang and Kodos? What will they do when they meet Garfield?

They could have just sat down over him…

Abduct me instead. I don’t want to be around when climate change destroys the beautiful earth

I wonder if all who read this comic strip can entice the creator/author/drawer to come out with more of this or if there is a website where we can send ideas and storylines for this. I know there are a lot of cat owners and cat lovers on here who have ideas they can throw out there since Business Cat has “cat traits”.

No. Fat ones aren’t a problem. You however……

Th’ engines cannae take anymore, Cap’n!

They used a similar joke for Homer Simpson.

Next Nasa will be calling Jon to find out where Garfield is when Nasa is doing orbital calculations.

Garfield is right. He is big-boned!

Yes you are Garfield. But that ship is also too small.

YEAH RIGHT!! Keep telling yourself that fatso!!

Diet time

Use another beam! That’s what happened when Kang and Kodos tried to abduct Homer.

You have a way of invading space, Mr. Garfield!

How fortunate for the aliens. They get to keep their food.

Neither am I…anymore! ; )

This one’s too funny!

Ouch

ha fat

The Simpsons did this joke.

this one reminds me of a Simpsons episode where some aliens abducted the family, but had to use two tractor beams to lift Homer.
