Garfield by Jim Davis for November 21, 2023

What’s Jon making now? Besides a mess, of course.

That doesn’t look slightly to me

We don’t actually see who’s doing the cooking. This could very well be Lyman off-panel.

The final panel reminds of that inane and incredibly dangerous “social media challenge” of eating a spoonful of cinnamon.

I like cinnamon. Count me in.

Hint, hint.

Was Garfield refusing food?

Kind of looks like a cookie mountain, except it is crushed.

Only a hint?

My kettle just blew its fuse this morning. Almost no coffee this morning. I changed the fuse and it’s working now. But, for how long? I now know the true meaning of fear…….

Does anyone remember the Cinnamon challenge?

So sad. Looks like Jon was cooking something special.

At least it’s not pumpkin spice!!!!

Some people can’t take a hint.

Hint? That looks more like an overt telling!

Jon baking a pumpkin pie?

Too much will hide the whipped cream on top of your Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Jon, that’s a giant neon sign marked “Cinnamon”

Here are 6 possible side effects of eating too much Cassia cinnamon.

1. May Cause Liver Damage

2. May Increase the Risk of Cancer

3. May Cause Mouth Sores

4. May Cause Low Blood Sugar

5. May Cause Breathing Problems

6. May Interact with Certain Medications

Just Say “NO” to Cinnamon.

Say When

Only Jon could pull that off

Jon making a batch of cookies for Garfield, that would be a pinch to the amount of dough used.

“NONE FOR ME, THANKS”

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

COULD I BE EXCUSED FROM THIS MEAL?

Only Jon would confuse a hint of cinnamon with something else.

If Jon’s cooking again, better call Grandma….again.

How big is that cinnamon shaker?

Is this Jon trying to prepare Thanksgiving dinner?

Same here, Jon. Same here. (I always—and inadvertently—pour out more cinnamon than needed for the recipe.)

That’s a tad too much cinnamon.

I love cinnamon, but, not in those quantities…

That reminds me, it’s egg nog season!

What the heck are they making, or does it matter?

As a high school culinary arts teacher, we had a student who didn’t check the recipe carefully for pumpkin pie. Instead of a teaspoon, he added a cup of cinnamon. That became his nickname. (He was cool with it)

I hope Jon isn’t making public pumpkin pie this year.
