Garfield by Jim Davis for October 24, 2022

Someone get Weird Al! Time to fight fire with fire!

Jon, is the creator, of the polkastein monster.

anna bye-bye Monster!

Polkamon, gotta polk’am all!

LOL “a vun anna two”

well, someone when dotty at the mention of the Polka monster.

Will the monster’s name be Lawrence?

A monster and who plays polka? That is terror beyond what is possible

I actually liked watching Lawrence Welk when I was a kid. Who knew I’d be such a nerd later in life…

Nice to see Garf actually afraid of something…….

They rebuilt Lawrence Welk?

My grandparents from Germany liked Lawrence Welk, I thought he came from another planet in a bizarre alternate universe!

They rebuilt Lawrence Welk?

Keep it away from Midwestern wedding receptions!

(Stop me before I polka again.)

You can’t read my polka face.

Now, that is scary!

Good thing Garfield is just watching this on the TV. With how much Garfield loves caffeine he would definitely drink Frankenstein’s Monster. Wouldn’t end well.

At least Eye-gore didn’t bring in an accordion named Abby.

I remember that Polka movie. The monster was a female. He called her Dot.

I am surprised that Jon isn’t watching this.

jonenstein?

When I was a kid, we had the Polka Monster (Lawrence Welk & Myron Floren) on TV every week. My parents even started me on accordion lessons at the age of 5 (which I took until 13). I survived okay .. for the most part.

Has Jon been working as a screenwriter all this time without us knowing?

One day the Doctor wanted to do another experiment, so he told Igor to go out and find 2 freshly-killed bodies. Igor went searching & couldn’t find any bodies fresher than about a week. As he walked home wondering about his dilemma, a car came careening around the corning, dove off the road & crashed. The couple inside, Mr. & Mrs. Hill, were killed instantly. Igor was thrilled! He picked them up & took them back to the Doctor. The doctor said, “Splendid, Igor! Prepare for the experiment!” Now, it’s a little-known fact that the Doctor liked doing his experiments with mood lighting and soft music. Igor set the lights & turned on the music. As the music entered into the room, Mr. & Mrs. Hill slowly sat up, rubbed their eyes, & looked around. Igor cried, “Master! Master!……. ♫ The Hills are alive, with the sound of music… ♫”

Just to see the look on Garfield’s face!

Be wary of the Polka Monster.

Or Lawrence Welk

Jon would approve!

what’s wrong with thee accordion?

“A gentleman is one who knows how to play an accordion, but doesn’t.“ – Johnny Cunningham (said of his brother Phil)

Let the Bad Horror Movie Week begin!

Leave it to Monday to premiere this fright.

if you look on you-tube there is a clip form the Lawrence Welk show of two of them, in a pastorial setting, in nice clothes singing ‘one toke over the line.’

clearly they had no idea what the song was about, probably the line “sweet jesus” made them think it was wholesome. the show has never been re-release and I would love to have been a fly on the wall when someone told lawrence what the song was about.

Well, someone’s a scaredy-cat

Uh oh, this must’ve been one of Jon’s favorite channels on TV. Quick, Garfield, switch channels.

Ya shouldn’t have watched that birth-video of Jon, Garf!

Now THAT’S scary.

LOL!!

And a one-ah and a two-ah…….

Here’s a silly ditty,

You can sing it right away

Now, here is what you say

So sing it while you may

Here’s a silly jingle,

You can sing it night or noon

Here’s the words, that’s all you need

’Cause I just sang the tune:

Oh, I don’t want her, you can have her

She’s too fat for me

She’s too fat for me

She’s too fat for me

I don’t want her, you can have her,

She’s too fat for me

She’s too fat

She’s too fat

She’s too fat for me

I get dizzy

I get numbo

When I’m dancing

With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo

I don’t want her, you can have her

She’s too fat for me

She’s too fat for me

She’s too fat for me

I don’t want her, you can have her

She’s too fat for me

She’s too fat

She’s too fat

She’s too fat for me

Can she prance up a hill?

No, no, no, no, no

Can she dance a quadrille?

No, no, no, no, no

Does she fit in your coupe?

By herself she’s a group

Could she possibly

Sit upon your knee?

No, no, no

We don’t want her, you can have her

She’s too fat for me

And she’s too fat for me

But she’s just right for me

We don’t want her, you can have her

She’s too fat for me

Yeah, she’s too fat,

Much too fat

But she’s just right for me

She’s so charming

And she’s so winning

But it’s alarming

When she goes in swimming

We don’t want her, you can have her

She’s too fat for me

She’s too fat for me

But she’s just right for me

So I sure want her, you can’t have her

She’s just right for me

But she’s too fat!

She’s not too fat!

She’s just right for me!

She’s a twosome,

She’s a foursome

If she’d lose some

I would like her more some

I don’t want her, you can have her

She’s too fat for me

She’s too fat for me

THAT’S THE WORSE EVER MONSTER!!!! DON’T LET JON SEE IT!!!!

Lawrence Welk…the origin story.

Weird Al put him in Garfield comics right now !

Why isn’t Jon watching this? He might not see it as scary like Garfield does.

Where’s Jon? This is his type of horror movie.

accordions: not just for polkas…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDFFUIGoBUc

Is Garfield watching Jon’s origin story?

What if Jon was playing the accordion while Garfield was watching the movie.

So hilarious that Garfield hates Polka. Its such a stupid hatred hahahahahahahahaha!

Just in time for Octoberfest all across the land.

I never learned to polka, but I think it would be fun.

I should frame this & mail it to the Welk family..

I thought Davis learned not to mess with polka music fans.

So…he revived Lawrence Welk?

This would be a Christmas special for accordion lovers like Jon
