Garfield by Jim Davis for August 09, 2024

That should add some tang.

Uhhhh Arlene. Do you know your boyfriend well or not

You should try lasagna sometime Arlene

has arlene ever eaten actual food like garfield has

This may be the first time Garfield and Arlene will eat rats

potatoes all∙rotten?

cheese, of course.

Lots of ketchup!

Liz needs to adopt Arlene!

Ketchup!

Mhhhhhhh… tetanus shot…. yummy…..

Something Garfield won’t eat?

Brussel sprouts and lima bean salad

Rat à la carte!

Also a Lectospirosis shot, black plague shot

I think Garfield needs to see more of Arlene.

It’s a miracle that Garfield didn’t leave the area screaming.

Fava beans and a nice Chianti

During WW I when the ability to deliver good food to the front, or the opportunity to rotate men from the trenches back for ration a lot of troops discovered the nutritional value of rats. They’re not very big, but eating them is more socially acceptable than serving up that sergeant you really don’t like.

a shot of tetanus and a shot of whiskey for a chaser

Garfield only eats fish and birds; rats and mice are his friends.

Eew! Lasagna eating Garfield is not going to settle for that!

I’m surprised he didn’t suggest lasagna and/or pizza

A plague vaccine perhaps.

I hope it’s that rat from Pearls Before Swine.

Rats-a-Roni™

Add a pinch of “you dirty“

Uh, Arlene, you know that Garfield doesn’t eat mice or rats.

When I used to live in the rural areas, my indoor-outdoor kitty used to leave me “gifts” outside the door – such as dead mice. Before eating breakfast and bringing in the kitty, it was enough to definitely lose one’s appetite!

Rat: Not even once.

Maybe a nice red wine?

That’s a dish that needs a lot of hot sauce!

pizza sauce

Texas Pete sauce.

I’m happy Arlene didn’t catch Squeak. I hope that she knows he’s off limits…

a Tooey

Give it to Odie…..he’ll eat it.

No thanks I’ll just have Lasagna

What goes with rat? A well aged prune juice perhaps!!

And we can meet anytime you want, in our Italian Restaurant…

A road flattened possum perhaps, but no rats.

ratatouille the dish

Garfield’s a class act. Never wants to kill or eat mice.

a Rat casserole? Hmmm hm!

It’s rare that a weekday Garfield strip is actually funny enough for me to LOL at. This one had me laughing till my sides hurt! I don’t know if it’s the rat’s feet sticking out, or Garfield’s remark about needing a tetanus shot, or both, but this one is darn good. Well-played, Jim Davis, I applaud you, sir!

Only with live rat.

Fried mice sounds nice.

Run and don’t look back!

Rotini a la rodent

the rat should be put in albeta

For my experience, just a wide open area to play with it. It doesn’t look very lively so it’ll just be a nice ball to play with. Dead rat was caught and dispatched by our rat terrier many years ago was often taken over by the three cats as a plaything. I don’t see Garfield being interested any anything he can’t eat.

“Why does ketchup cost almost as much as the rat?”“Have you ever tried rat without ketchup?”

I know she’d eat a mouse, but he’d pass on it. Guess that’s true for rats, a bigger mouse.

I shouldn’t have read this while eating dinner.

Arlene is far more street wise than Garfield ever was.

I am with Garfield

I’ve heard that ancient romans stuffed rats with pork

KFC biscuits, if you know, you know

Rats. Those little feet fingers are creepy.

From the amount my rats eat of my garden, I recommend zucchini blossoms, tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplant. Oddly they don’t touch the zucchini….

lol

A mouse on the side?
