Garfield by Jim Davis for June 15, 2023

Sure you weren’t just sleepwalking?

what if anything do you think is going to happen? garfield has been talking a lot about being old lately

many-a-time I’ve gone to sleep feeling fine, but woke up with a backache

I once pulled a muscle lying in bed. My alarm went off and I moved my body to one side in an effort to get up too quickly.

Garfield doesn’t have any muscles to pull. Maybe he pulled a fat?

Just to brighten everyone’s day… you’re always getting older. But as they say, it sure beats the alternative…

It would be so welcome if Lyman were to make an appearance in Garfield’s 45th anniversary strip. Fans have been asking for a cameo of Lyman year after year. If anyone who is involved in the production of the strip is reading this, take note!

I hate it when I get up and I pull a muscle. It stings

That is new one. Garfield needs a new bed.

since when does he knows the feeling of “pulling a muscle”?

Must be a minor pull if it didn’t wake him!

I’ve actually done that. Well not pulled a muscle exactly, but I have gotten leg and foot cramps.

This is surprisingly true, put my back out overnight about 3 weeks ago.

It is called a leg cramp. Told to The Count by a friend, of course.

Seriously. I’m still wondering what I did to my neck in bed to make moving it or my shoulders such a painful experience today!

I’ve had this happen in the night. I’ll get a massive leg spasm that pulls muscles. I’ve joked with my boss as I limp round the office that I don’t mind pulling a muscle when I exercise but doing it in my sleep is just embarrassing

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Never pulled a muscle napping but have gotten a Charlie horse. That’ll wake you up in a hurry.

That would be annoying.

Indeed.

At his age, he’ll be lying there for a week.

I will too, since my birthday is coming.

I know what Garf’s talking about. I sometimes pull a muscle just reaching for the alarm clock.

Now that’s quite an achievement, to pull a muscle even while you’re resting.

You know you’re getting older when the bank starts sending you a calendar one month at time.

This must be Garfield’s birthday week. Happy 45th to America’s favorite cat.

Been there.

Been there, done that

Oh my god I do that.

Garfield and Auntie Acid have a lot in common.

Isn’t that called Charlie horse?

I knew someone who knew someone who threw their knee out — permanently — rolling over in their sleep. Crippled for life.

Garfield, take heed.

What’s a nap? That thing they tried make me to do in Kindergarten but only succeeded in 12th grade 07:20am physics class conducted by Mr. I.M. Monotone.
