Garfield by Jim Davis for March 10, 2023

Geez! I would’ve been awake for the comedy at least.

And Liz got really mad at Jon, at the end of the film.

“They had us in the first half. Not gonna lie.” -Garfield

when rom-com meets performance art

I almost always do that; cinema, theatre, etc. I’ve paid good money to sleep through some very famous plays and films.

So you missed out on how others do it the right way.

The pickins are slim, Liz. My sympathies.

Like my father did when seeing Danny Kaye in Wonder Man.

Yuck! Mushy stuff! ;-)

That’s a lot of money for a nap.

I’m impressed that Jon didn’t come in with a black eye.

In the last few months of his life, my dad would do that (for almost any film); especially if he were in his favorite chair!

He had a chance to learn how to behave with a woman and what to do with a girlfriend and he wasted it, as expected.

Do you think we could possibly get a Jon and Liz joke that doesn’t rely on outdated gender stereotyping.

That was great?

“ATTA BOY!”

(imagines a different version of this part of the dialogue of this cartoon)

WAS LIZ UPSET?

LUCKY!!!

This is so boomer.

I can bet that Liz was not amused about that.

This feels out of character. Jon Arbuckle is clearly the type of guy who secretly loves rom-coms and hopes to get dragged to them so he won’t have to admit his guilty pleasure. That man is lying about falling asleep to impress his cat.

Liz and Jon, Yes that is a Romantic Comedy !!!

And Liz was long gone???

Ah my boy Jon is growing up

Jon’s a Lothario in the truest sense of the word…

I was rushing for days to meet a deadline; so when I boarded the plane, I fell asleep before the seat belt demonstration, woke up for the meal, fell asleep before they collected the trays, and woke up to the squeal of the tires on the runway.

Sedative chick flicks.

That’s Jon, all right. Oblivious.

Yep that’s how you get through a chick flick.

Before my wife and I married, she was over and we were watching a romantic movie. I got up very early for work, so I fell asleep during the movie, but I was upholding my end of the conversation for quite a while, apparently. Why ruined it was when I said “and as a last resort we can paint the squirrels white.” My brain poked me awake at that point as it knew I had blown it. This was over 36 years ago, and we are still married, so it wasn’t a fatal error.

Jon, that’s why Liz remains your friend and does not progress beyond that for these many years. Though we would love to see her in the house tending to that fatso feline and squeaky canine.

how about the SNORING…Jon “boy”?
