Garfield by Jim Davis for February 12, 2024

Sounds like a fairly competent mayor.

Well of course, it’s Monday, on that day even nightmares are the most horrible!​

LOL

You woke up just before they said Mayor Odie !

I used to tell my cat Macushla (pictured) that she should be president and I’ll be vice president. She would be voted for since she was so beautiful but I’d be the secret power behind the “throne.”

This actually happened:

Maximus Mighty-Dog Mueller II (May 6, 2013 – July 30, 2022) was a golden retriever dog that served as the second mayor of Idyllwild, part of the Census-designated place of Idyllwild–Pine Cove, California. His deputy mayors, Mitzi and Mikey, were his cousins. Mayor Max II was succeeded by his cousin Max III due to nepotism; Max III was sworn in on December 10, 2022.

It’s now that bad.

How many votes did the canine get?

this mayor got a bone in the garden not a skeleton in the closet

Quite a Odieous mayor eh.

What would the first legislative move Mayor Mastiff would make? 16,000 more fire hydrants for a “fire safety campaign” but we all know what they are for… personal gain. Dang politician.

probably better than some of the mayors that are in office right now…

I’m sorry, what? This nightmare is worse than the one he had around Halloween that one year, I think it was in the 80’s? The one where he was all alone, with no Jon or Odie, with no food, in a run-down, abandoned house?

Hope he bow-bows out of office, for Garf’s sake.

All jokes aside, there has been an actually democratically elected cat mayor, I wish I could remember the name of the place that elected him

That would be the worst news for any cat.

Only if he is barking at dead dogs.

And here I was dreaming about two rolls of hundreds in a drawer.

Odie is doing a doggone good job.

Who would’ve thought Garfield would be dreaming about Idyllwild, California where, the only ones allowed on the mayoral ballot are dogs. Garfield better steer clear of that town.

I’m with you, Gar!

It seems Brain Griffin became Mayor instead of Glen Quagmire.

I don’t know… I think a pup would be a better candidate than most humans.

Hey Garfield, you never know!

This reminds me of that one episode from Oddballs where a dog is elected mayor and then bans fireworks for being “too scary” because he’s a dog lol

This city is going to the dogs! What a ruff place it’s getting to be! Go back to sleep, Garfield. When you wake up tomorrow, you’ll only have to deal with Jon and Odie as usual!

Maybe it’s just a tree.

Oh, I don’t know. His proposals to update zoning laws are pretty spot-on.

This a mayor problem

Even worse, what if Jon was mayor?

In my opinion our dog would do better than the mayors in New York, Chicago, Kansas City or Los Angeles. We have escaped from one of those and we are much better off now.

He could probably do better than the quacks currently in charge

No, Garfield, the worst nightmare ever would be if “Brandon” got four more years!

Bet Garfield “forgot” to vote.

And he’s not just a woofin’.

If it’s a Golden Retriever, that will be a happy place.

Maybe he should have said “DiMaggio?”

lol

That’s two words

Would do better than ours…

Fitting to have such a nightmare on a Monday.

He said, “Cats are banned.”

Odie the mayor?

Well, it is Monday

There are both dogs and cats working as mayors in small towns.

GOODY!!

A Dog mayormight put you in your place garefield

Why this strip usually stays out of politics.

Odie for President!

In a long line of worst.

Rather listen to a dog than a pathetic human any day

First worst nightmare ever comic

I think that can be possible in Hell, Michigan, where literally anyone can be mayor for a day.
