Garfield by Jim Davis for December 06, 2009

He must be using DIAL UP.

Finally, a computer that’s slower than mine.

Garfield, Just keep watching that “eye candy”.

He has done everything possible while the file was being sent.. sighs …

Not a zip file, I reckon.

Sometimes my DSL is just about that slow to open IE.

BELIEVE ME, that’s something that happened to me once.

USB or Ethernet, doesn’t matter, everything is way too slow.

Maybe he was sending pix along with the list and that slowed things down.

now THIS is much better than most of the strips lately! love today’s strip, jim!

I am sure Jon has installed CAT-5

What does Garfield have ? Dialup with AOL? Ever hear of high speed broadband or is Jon too cheap ?

Hey, some areas don’t have high speed yet–like where I live. It was one of the most annoying aspects of having to move back in with my parents.

LOL - I remember years ago when I had Juno dial up for $9.95 a month - trying to watch a video or even just get online and read my mail…the “olden days”.

Imagine what it would have cost to mail it !

Did Garfield include an explanation and apology for all his naughty doings throughout the past year? IF that was stuck in with his list, then today’s installment is refreshingly realistic. Each day would have its own list of crimes and excuses. 349 separate lists?! Why can’t all comic strips be so true-to-life?

But TrueyBluey, being so true-to-life would violate the First Law of Cartoon Physics: “Only When It’s Funny”. :))

Garfield might consider putting the file on one or more DVD-ROMs (or flash drives, or portable terabyte drives), and mailing it. It probably would be faster. :))

“War and Peace,” Garfield? I remember Odie about to read that after you and Jon left the house alone with that odd dog (27 April ‘89).

This is only part one of the list. He still has to send the cross reference file. And the accessory list.

He should be reading his list and checking it twice. Making sure that he has battery sizes needed and numbers would be nice.

And then if he’s asking for Cats VS Dogs the video game he has to make sure its for the Beatthecrapouttaoddiestation and not Wiioddiesbroken. And he better remember not to play the game againts pookie… the bear cheats….

omg I never thought I’d see garfield reading the longest book published lol I wonder what’s on the list

A copy of “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire?”

Am I the only one who noticed that Santa apparently has E-MAIL now? =P

LOADING!!!

Egads there dude, that must be one heck of a list.

Why is it that Garfield is “killing time” by doing lots of other tasks, instead of gaming on the computer. He plays solitaire on the desk? Must be one very ancient computer Jon has there.

Maybe the computer would crash if he played Solitaire.

MY wish-list isn’t even that long!

the next melenia “its almost done!”

lol how does that computer have enough hard drive space?

Get a gaming PC, Garfield. I recommend the Alienware Aurora R13.
