Garfield by Jim Davis for December 04, 2023

And so begins Garfield’s Christmas shenanigans. Get excited!

Oh contrare, Garfield! This is the perfect time for you to go on the see food diet.

Sorry Garfield, the “Holiday Season” started about a week before Halloween.

My wife’s jeans keep saying, “No more Christmas cookies but her leggings are like, nah. We got you boo.”

It the same throughout the year for you cat.

Grandma’s about to feed you lots and lots.

I bought ice crean yesterday at BJ’s, killed me…too rich, threw it away!

This is the time of year when a lot of food goes to waist.

true!

Does Garfield even know what the word diet means?

The fall and winter eating season begins in the fall with Halloween candy, then goes to Thanksgiving with all its goodies, Christmas, Valentine’s day and Easter. So it actually goes into the spring. And they mostly involve chocolate!

Didn’t know there was a Peanuts begins, since all of the Peanuts are classics.

A diet is just a structure of eating. I stick to a strict diet of one advent calendar chocolate a day and what ever I want the rest of the day. Do you have advent calendars from where you are from? I have a Cadburys one this year!

I think there’s a good chance that Jon and Liz will disagree with that, Garfield.

When did Garf ever follow any diet anyway?

No-diet zone? Sounds good to me.

Not fair, us retirees don´t get holidays. Yes I know our whole life is a etc. etc.

Cheat Monts… Well, when it comes to diet. BTW/FYI… Starbucks has discontinued The Count’s Be❤️ed Pumpkin Spice Latte already =:0 but it has been replaced with Creme Brûlée Latte that is … just as good!

During the Middle Ages, the weeks leading to Christmas were a time of fasting and prayer. Then there was a 12 day party starting December 25 and lasting into January.

tell that to my mother…

Amen.

Even if it wasn’t the Christmas season, it’s always a No-Diet Zone.

Sorry Garfield, the Holiday “no diet” season started around the last week of November.

I call it the “never say diet season” ;)

As opposed to Garfield’s diet zones?

I thought that started before thanksgiving

Let us look at the word DIET. First 3 letters are DIE, the last is a Cross!

Going from feed the kitty to overfeed the kitty.

Let us take a moment to celebrate the true heroes of the holiday season. Elastic waistbands!!!

I’m not going to clarify things. I’m just commenting because I’m watching the stream right now.

Not gonna say a word. I have a rule about low hanging fruit.

It’s a balancing act for me right now – I’m expecting, so I need to eat enough to keep Junior happy, but if I do have too much rich holiday food, I get an even worse stomach ache from it than usual!

No-diet zone is restricted to a holiday season? Preposterous, that zone is year round for me.
