Garfield by Jim Davis for December 03, 2023

That’s one energetic leaf

Let’s “leaf” them be. They’re definitely having fun here.

This is actually cute. It reminds me of my dogs playing, then they just stop, and then continue.

Are you sure that Odie just isn’t suffering from The Zoomies, Gar?

Regarding “Garfield Classics” being removed from this site, I thought I would post one more time on something that I posted in a few of yesterday’s comments. I am just as upset as most of you about the Classics cartoon being eliminated, and with no warning whatsoever that it was going away. I’m afraid that is going to become the fate of other cartoons on this site. I am therefore trying to drum up some interest in another comic that some of you may not have read or are not aware is on CG. This site has really not given any support, enthusiasm or promotion for what is likely one of the absolute best classic comic series on these pages, so I will do that for them.

If you have not checked it out before now, I would highly recommend “Bozo” by Foxo Reardon. It has been posted on GC by Foxo’s son, Michael Reardon. It is the first truly pantomime strip that ran in the newspapers. You can read the full story of Francis Xavier Reardon in the “About” section of the comic page. Foxo (as he was known) was a truly gifted artist and comic writer. The details in each comic strip are downright amazing. The series of “Bozo” on CG originally ran from 1946 until Foxo’s untimely passing in November 1955. The strips are a visual and comedic treat. The group of us that comment on an almost daily basis keep everything lighthearted and fun and clean, and we do not discuss daily events. That’s what the editorial comics are for. Take a look if you’re interested, and feel free to subscribe if you so choose. We’d love to have you join our group of classic comic enthusiasts!

Shouldn’t that be “Leaf! Leaf! Leaf!…”?

Unbeleafable ain’t it.

Make like a leaf and blow.

Took me a while to think about if Garfield took Odie on the play date, undtil I saw that the leaf is panting! :D

Odie shall catch that annoying leaf even if it is the last thing he ever does.

Today it should be “guest appearance by Garfield”…

Leaves like to play chase? Who knew?

Ann❤️Eiffel play dates are a lot more fun, boy howdy. Told to The❤️Count by a friend, of course.

Odie just knows how to keep himself entertain and there’s nothing wrong wit that.

I kind of love this to be honest

This is one that if I saw it in a newspaper, I would clip it, and put it on the fridge. It’s brilliant.

Score one for the dogs… for having some fun.

This is so adorable. I love ya, Odie. Thanks for making me smile.

Nice to see that the leaf took a break too.

my daughter’s dog has started hiding apples under leaf piles

Great one!

Anybody here know what has happened to “Garfield Classics” its simply gone, I have tried searching for it all over GoComics multiple times and can not find it anywhere.

Watching Odie makes Garfield tired.

The one thing I don’t really like about Garfield- these strips usually are made for kids most likely, so look at the last word.

“Playdate”

That leaf has a mind of its own.

I have felt Garfield has been getting pretty boring lately, this one sure proves that point.

Ladies and Gentleman: This is a Comic. It is not related to any reality. The Dog is acting like a dog, The cat is not. If you find that you believe the Cat is real. You need help! please contact, Lucy for Psychological Help 5 Cents.

This is a sweet one.

Odie will sleep well tonight.

Garfield is leaving? IS THAT TRUE?

Dogs and leaves (and some people) are easily entertained

Garfield being as heavy as he is, would never be able to run around like that.

Run for the hills, the leaves are alive.

Might I recommend Baby Blues?

That is really sweet. No reason to not feature sweet on occasion!

Awwww!

Sunday Means Church:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.6There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.9The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.15(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”) 16Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.John the Baptist Denies Being the Messiah19Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”21They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”He said, “I am not.”“Are you the Prophet?"

V2:On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”“Woman, why do you involve me?”Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.8Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so, 9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”11What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.12After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.Jesus Clears the Temple Courts13When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”17His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”18The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?
