I think I should draw Jon Arbuckle being hugged by Garfield & Odie and title it “Spaces Between” (named after the song “Space Between” by Dove Cameron & Sofia Carson)
It looked, to me, like they were watching the sun rise and the sunset out of the same window. Must have identical windows on both sides of the house. Easy to get matching windows from Pella™.
(Disclosure: The proceeding comment was paid for by Pella™ glass. In-Your-Face Advertising, their marketing firm, is now paying for product placement in GoComics.)
Glad to see Jon get the respect and appreciation that he deserves, especially since he made a perfect batch of burgers, to make up for that time when he attempted to barbecue pork chops on the grill, only to forget to put the charcoal in.
Happy 79th Birthday, Jim Davis, and by extension, Happy Birthday to Jon Arbuckle. Nice to see the rare occasion where Jon doesn’t act or get treated like a moron!
It’s not often Garfield shows Jon any appreciation for anything, so it’s nice to see it in this strip. Well-played, Jim Davis, well-played. I applaud you.

I always think Garfield & Jon are like Father & son. (And Odie is the other son and Garfield’s little brother)

Perfection is in the mind’s eye, eh? Always was, is, and will be. Happy birthday Arbuckle, only a perfectly content fellow can dance so well! :)

Just a good day without pranks. Garfield will forget that unfortunate incident with the broccoli in his pizza.

Today is Jon’s birthday (every July 28th). They should have done this the other way around: Everyone gives Jon a perfect day for his birthday.

Anyone else think of the Lou Reed song Perfect day?Other than the title card I would say this was the perfect Garfield strip.
