Garfield by Jim Davis for October 13, 2023

Eating less on a day like Friday? Sorry. It’s what I call pizza night!

My doctor tells me to exercise and cut back on calorie intake.

So opposites do attract

He’s been around for 55 years. Must be doing something right.

Exercise. I could watch it all day………..

Garfield is a perfect proponent of fat positivity propaganda. I hear he is going to be one of the dancers on Lizzo’s watch out for the big girls and on the cover of cosmopolitan.

If you’re looking for an “excuse” to eat more, Garfield; today is National M&M’s Day…https://nationaltoday(dot)com/national-mm-day/

You should eat and exercise in a balanced way.

I’ve known some long lived fat guys, and some short lived skinny guys. Even one advocate of the jogging lifestyle that died young. So, I guess being healthy is an individual thing.

reminds me of “I’m going to quit smoking wild turkey” other guy says “you mean cold turkey” first guy says “you quit your way, I’ll quit mine”

“Exercise?!” “I thought you said extra fries.”

It’s eat MORE and exercise MORE

Oh Arlene, your optimism that Garfield would ever eat less is adorable

I never apologize for good eating, but I am okay with eating well too.

Fish tonight, I think.

Well, there is no “one size fits all” health regimen.

“YOU DO YOU, I’LL DO ME”

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

YOU COULD DO IT YOUR WAY, WHILE I COULD DO IT MY WAY

Sorry, Arlene, but there’s no trying to get Garfield to eat less and exercise more.

Sorry but I need my mint icecream Arlene.

Garfield should listen to Arlene. She’s a pretty thin cat.

Then you won’t do her.

My doctor told me “Eat Less and Exercise more”. But I’m going with Garfield on this one.

Ah the ol Garfield diet

When did the statement, “you do you” enter the English language?

“You do you, and I’ll do me.”

So each one is going home alone and spanking the monkey?

Arlene, this fatso will never come along your way. Anyway, Liz and you would both make a great part of the family.

My wife had chemo last year and did not do well with it, so I had to take over all the household duties for a though she was limited in what she could do, she had a hard time letting go. This has become our household mantra!! Just bought a print so we can see it everyday!! Thanks Jim Davis!!
