Garfield by Jim Davis for January 16, 2024

Probably not the best way to keep your tail warm during winter.

The first panel I can relate to

You’re over 40 Garfield. Most mornings are going to be like that from now on.

I still have phantom pains from the tail evolution took away.

I can’t wait to see what his tail looks like after he slept on it wrong.

Oof.

Sounds like me when I sleep on of my arm, I have to roll onto my back and wait until I can move it again.

I hate when that happens!

Be strong my dear Garfield. Some pain medication could be helpful.

Walk it off

I would have stayed in bed, except today is take out the garbage bin day and I also needed to spend time here at GoComics…

And on days when Jim doesn’t feel like drawing more than one picture (which probably comes from an archive of standards anyway). I’d do the same.

Oooh, tail asleep, I can imagine that’s not fun!

such a…special and strange situation.

Yeah, I don’t feel like getting up either. Unfortunately, I don’t have an excuse like Garf’s.

Change tail for bad shoulder and this is more like me than I wish it was

Just move very carefully, Garfield, and you won’t give yourself too much pain.

It’s not like he’s going to want to move anyways.

Me too, Garf. Me too.

I’m having a day like that. I can barely move.

I hate it when that happens.

Gar, you stay in bad all the time, why are you complaining?

Apparently Jim Davis can’t be bothered to get out of bed today either. He picked a standard drawing of Garf he’s done a million times, copied and pasted, and added a lame joke. Such hard work for a cartoonist, amirite?

I can’t imagine why any creature would sleep on their tail. It must be a cat thing.

I’ve done that – replace “tail” with “arm”

It’s the end of him.

Garfield you should just get it over with

I’ve had that happen when I wake up with a numb arm.

Awww Garfield is so cute!
