Garfield by Jim Davis for February 24, 2024

Never trust a farmer to give you a haircut.

I guess they didn’t had any hair clippers

I guess you looked quite sheepishly then…

Holy sheep! What he do to your hairs?

And you went like a lamb to the slaughter…..

It wasn’t the first or last time he was fleeced.

It was a baaaaaaaad haircut.

Glad to see a reference ish to an older character I miss Lyman tho

Shears are sorta better that scissors in every way except for bulkiness and ease of sharpening. They allow you to use all fingers and strong parts of your hand instead of just two or three fingers and allow your fingers to get closer to the end of the blade for more fine work… Doc Boy is a proud blue collar Christian man and theologian and Garfield is a work from home fat loser redditor who doesn’t even work from home because he is a cat and couldn’t even cut hair with either. DOC BOY SUPREMACY!

I agree.

I guess Jon wasn’t on the girl watch list with that haircut.

In case anyone is not aware, Doc Boy is Jon’s brother. Jon grew up on a farm.

Garfield’s expression in the second panel says it all!

Nah, he just offered to cut Doc Boy’s hair for free the next year (hence why his brother is bald)

Tip him like a cow tip him? Or an outhouse? With Doc Boy still in it?

I figure the point of having Doc Boy do the job was that it would be free anyway.

Show the picture! I want to see if he looked like Dagwood Bumstead.

Could it look any better than Jon’s Senior picture?

Garfield looks shocked. I don’t know why. You’d think he’s gotten used to this.

When I was little, my aunt – a “hair stylist” – gave me half a crew cut. That was as far as she got when the trimmer broke. The rest she sorta trimmed with scissors, Yeah, Jon, I can relate.

It’s no wonder why Jon is the big dork that he is today.

LOL!!!

These comments are unusually ba-a-a-d this AM.

the origin of the Mullet

Baa baa Jon sheep…

“Doc Boy” is based on Jim Davis’ own brother. (Hey, I had to look it up.)

A rare moment when Garfield is surprised by something about Jon.

I thought only cows get tipped on the farm

Maybe he tipped Doc with a knuckle sandwich. Then Mother Arbuckle grounded both her boys.

I would have loved to see that picture!

“….The worst part was that it was still an improvement.”

Bet the haircut

Bet the haircut looked better on the sheep

My mom cut my hair with dog clippers. In high school. For real.

(And Jon thinks he didn’t have any friends…)

Put a bowl on his head and trimmed around the edge.

Oh goodness, Sheep Sheers were used to cut Human Hair? that’s likely gotta hurt.

lol

What does Jon do for a living?
