Garfield by Jim Davis for September 20, 2023

Some things are better unasked…

That’s a lot of barking for a simple answer.

I wanna know what Odie asked.

bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark !

Odie would make a great politician. Talk for an hour and your point only took two minutes.

The answer, in any case, is 42.

My pug sure says No a lot.

Funny, my translation said ," is it dinnertime ?"

So many barks just to get a simple no.

If that’s Odie’s short answer I dread to think what the long answer would’ve been

“- Yes, why are Garfield eating my food?”

As a translator you are supposed to translate the message without editing or give your own values…

Dogsplaining.

Yeah, he has nothing to ask, just a lot to say.

That’s a lengthy bark talk there

Wonder whale oldies bald are saying

one small no for the dog, many barks for dogkind

Odie should become a preacher. Our core tenet is never say 10 words when 100 will do just as well. Or, in Odie’s case, never say 1 word when 45 will do just as well.

If Odie could actually talk, he’d proclaim himself to have a beautiful speaking voice.

If pets could talk, we’d never have a moment’s peace!

I’d get a second opinion on that translation ;)

bark bark bark bark lol

And I thought humans not being able to give simple answers to simple questions was annoying.

Long story short.

too many, so Garfield summed up.

And here, you thought he was asking one!

Bark?
