Garfield by Jim Davis for December 08, 2022

Well he’s standing instead of laying down. That’s impressive coming from Garfield.

Garfield’s standing still ovation.

oh, the suspense is thrilling

Dear Santa, An attempt was made.

yeah yeah what about the rest of the year?

Boy, Garfield is really happy since he’s not moving today

I think that Santa takes the whole year into account.

if you do notjing, you aren’t doing bad

Garfield better make sure Odie doesn’t come too near as well.

Garfield knows he can’t risk the temptation of kicking Odie.

I’m amazed he risked leaving bed to be honest

Now can you do that for the next 17 days, Garfield?

Dear Santa. Define good.

He’s right! One sip of soda and he’s like Sonic the Hedgehog!

For Christmas, give Garfield some coal along with a few treats to say we love him whether he’s naughty or nice.

Actually, “Not doing bad” is not the same as “being good”.

Lazy Garfield.

Garfield will probably stay in that spot until Christmas Day

Well, doing nothing is better than not being good…I guess.

Must…not…blink…

So he’s not going to eat, or sleep? Wow

“The part of ‘Garfield’ will be played by one of his carefully constructed stuffed dolls today.”

My being good is driving past a donut shop without stopping.

Well, look at the bright side, Jon, at least Garfield’s not laying down on the job.

Odie!!! Come test Garfield and see if he’ll kick you off the table…

Garfield barely moves anyway… except for the fridge, naps, and kicking odie

Finally a strategy that works for him.

And give the artist more work, when he can get off with just one drawing for the whole strip?

I should say not, good sir.

Just ONE move and be it false, you’re done for Garf.

If he moves he’s naughty

You know you’re bad when you think simply moving can come with a penalty.
