Garfield by Jim Davis for January 22, 2024

Make it Friday! It’s what I call “Pizza night”!

Monday is Monday, Garfield. The universe will keep on sending bad luck your way after all.

Good going, Garfield! Keep living in that blissful self-delusion and you might get through Monday!

Isn’t this when Nermal walks in and Garfield remembers it’s Monday?

It a great day of joy today indeeds.

Whatever floats your boat, Garf.

Do it Garfield, & pretend Jon is not a work.

It’s not working, Garfield. Your renewed sense of energy isn’t making today any less of a Monday.

Not sure why Garfield would feel happy on Saturday. It’s the weekend, when you don’t have to work. His ‘work’ consists of eating and sleeping. In that sense he never has a day off.

And now for some coffee and donuts.

Is he ever in for a Rude Awakening…

Jump? Garfield?

Just a little story from the 1970s. My first cat Tinker used to love going into the roof space of our house in England because he had worked out how to catch birds trying to roost under the eves.

Tinker was only allowed in there on Saturday mornings, because my Dad was around, the roof space being somewhat unsafe for us kids.

(The birds used to make a mess in there, so my Dad was happy to have them “discouraged”.)

After a while that cat KNEW when it was Saturday morning and would be demanding to be let into his favourite hunting ground, something he didn’t do on any other day.

Yeah, but how long’s that going to last Garfield?

That’s one way to cope.

Gotta love states of delusion.

(senses a positive conversation in this cartoon)

As I’ve said before, my Monday’s are like other’s Saturday. A day off after all that church work. And, Monday’s is bacon/egg quiche day. Tuesdays, of course, is Bible study/b’fast day, Wednesday is hashbrown/sausage patty day, Thursdays salmon grits day, Friday is oatmeal mush day w/strawberry jam, Saturday is waffles and sausage links day, and Sunday is cheese toast day. I’m definitely a creature of wonderful habits.

When you’re retired, EVERY day is a Saturday!

or opposite day. :D

Delusion is a major symptom of psychosis. Better get back in you bed and call it a day.

Well, School was closed today so I didn’t mind getting up.

Garfield, there’s a very good chance that you’re only fooling yourself, no matter what day it is.

When it’s Wednesday, Garfield will pretend it’s Monday morning

I will stay in bed till Saturday Feb 4th 2025.

ugly stupid garfield fat cat nobody loves you

Reality will come to Garfield as it has to the rest of us! I know it’s MONDAY!

He’ll get about 30 feet.

Finally!…

And there’s Lasagna on the breakfast table.

If he can jump out of bed with renewed hope and energy on a Saturday morning, his Friday nights must be pretty dull.

If I pretend it is Saturday morning I would still be getting up to go to work.

Sorry, no GARFIELD AND FRIENDS THIS Saturday! Go back to bed.

Hmm I could pretend today is Friday so that I get paid twice this week bwahahaha

… and immediately turn around and go back to bed!

Self delusion certainly works for me….handsome devil that I am.

When you are retired, every day is Saturday.

Gee Garfield, why didn’t you think of this when you were first created?

Pretend there’s a box of donuts in the living room!

Good for you garfield

I could have used that today. We had our busiest day in months today.

I had one of the worst Monday of Mondays and wish I could just go back to bed and start the day over and make it better, but that won’t happen so I sit here crying and hating the whole day and hoping Tuesday is better.
