Garfield by Jim Davis for June 13, 2024

I’d catch them in a deep fryer before eating them.

silly cat — if that doesn’t work for birds, why would it work for fish?

What most cats/people don’t realise is that flying fish are full of bones and you have to know how to cut them or you end up with nothing.

See “Calvin and Hobbes”- 4/18/1986.

He’s hoping for a pizza fish.

I’ve seen them near Barbados.

Asian carp follow the Buzz Lightyear school of flight: “Crashing with Style.”

Might be standing there awhile….

Back to fishy business eh cat.

Hope he put sunscreen on them tonsils

Most of them tend to fly from open water to open water, Gar. Not open water to land.

I wonder how long he’ll stay there before he realizes this is a bad idea?

A new take on fly fishing. Or is it fly fish fishing? Flying fishing? So confusing.

One problem there, Garf, ole boy, flying fish don’t fly ashore. Now, if you could swim? Maybe.

Garfield’s stomach almost bigger then his mouth.

You made me giggle again, Gar!

I bet Garfield’s gonna stand there for hours

Fourth panel: Garfield coughing up a high-velocity fish

Come to Garfield.

Yes, flying fish do actually fly, but not really in the way that Garfield is thinking.

Huh, so that’s what it takes to get Garf out of the house!

I don’t think that’s how it works, Garfield.

I don’t think that will work! Then again I have seen carp jump in a boat, might work??

I once saw a bear on a wildlife special do that by a little waterfall. A salmon swimming upstream jumped right into the bear’s mouth.

mostly just glide.

Saw that coming.

Garfield should try to pick up some salmon.

And in tomorrow’s strip, Garfield swallows a seagull.

talk about optimism

finally, a way to get him to diet

Not going to work Garfield. Most flying fish live out in the open ocean. But some do live on the outskirts of reefs.

HILARIOUS!

What else is new Garfield only likes to eat and sleep

Ever the optimist, eh Garfield?

The chance of him catching a fish like that are really not very good.

LAND SHARK!

I do not think it works that way, Garfield.

Pssst! Garfield! Flying fish don’t actually come up on the beach. You’re gonna need a boat.

You’re gonna be there all day, buddy.

He has, high hopes, flying high hopes. Fish in the sky high hopes.

This made me laugh

Dude, I knew that when I was seven.
