Garfield by Jim Davis for November 15, 2009

She’ll take the donut and Garfield will get the plate.

Just take the offer Garfield.

Half of something you want. Is still something you want. Take it Garfield!

love it

Wow, she’s good to be able to get Garfield to reconsider! Jon better hang on to that one!

That is one huge coffee cup.

That’s a fair offer I’d say.

HOLY SMOKE! She got him to stop and think!

In panel 3, 4, 5, 6, Garfield seems a little paralysed, isn’t it ??

I don’t think Garfield has ever taken a half of anything before!

I’m surprised he didn’t just grab the donut and toss it down his throat. That’s what he always does to Jon.

Garfield always shares his donuts.

He leaves the hole for Jon.

Which would be like lighting up in front of your doctor after he/she has just warned you about the dangers of smoking. Remember, Liz isn’t just Jon’s girlfriend; she’s also Garfield’s veterinarian. Therefore, she can lecture Garfield about his health habits and get away with it because it’s her job.

But it’s still funny that she offered to go halvsies on both the donut and the guilt. :)

Garfield, do you really want Liz to ruin her girlish figure? Take the donut.

… I say test the depth of her expertise as a Veterinarian; take the donut sharing only the hole with the doctor and then find out how well she helps you deal with the guilt!

If the donut would be the last one to eat, Garfield, don’t you want to become an “old maid” ?

of course he knows how many calories ect… what does he care?????

This would make an interesting Garfield Minus Garfield - Liz pulled into Jon’s world of imaginary friends.

Garfield is not used to being challenged. He’s king of his world (as are most cats). To have Liz actually challenge his right (or want) to take the last donut was so surprising that he is paralyzed in shock.

I was thinking Garfield was going to gobble it down and say “Of course I do!”

Why’d he try to talk her out of eating the donut? Why didn’t he just swipe it and run? Maybe Garfield realizes that Liz is The One for Jon. Jon loves her for real. He can’t antagonize her without hurting or losing Jon. Also, I think all of this is true for Liz regarding Garfield. She sees Jon as A Keeper, so she decided not to deny the cat completely. I

I wonder if Jon knows he is in a love triangle with his old cat and his old cat’s doctor? Obviously, Liz and Garfield already see it. Their motto is “Don’t rock the boat!” and that’ll be Jon’s motto too –but when?

Remember the golden rule Garfield: First come first serve.

only Liz can stop Garfield
