Garfield by Jim Davis for September 08, 2023

It takes one small detail to make a big deal.

There is nothing wrong with pineapple on pizza.

Pineapple belongs on nothing (IMHO).

One of my earliest memories is my aunt ordering pizza with pineapple on it.

Try it before judging.

As before, I agree! Not on pizza! Maybe a BBQ chicken pizza.

Arlene goes!

Pineapple AND jalapeño. Mmmmmmm!!!! Yum!

Pineapple AND jalapeño AND ham! Triple Yum!

Again, why do people care so much about the dietary preferences of others? Let her be free to eat it, even if he doesn’t like it

Don’t care for pineapple, black olives or jalapenos on pizza. My one topping I don’t believe any pizza place here has it anymore. Definitely not for everyone. Anchovies.

Too many people ruin a perfectly good pizza

NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Dump her, it’s the only way!

I like pineapple and ham on my pizza but my sister prefers the one with all the meats. Arlene and I can split a pizza and my sister can try to share with Garfield as you know he won’t share.

A lot of times it comes in handy for a couple to have such different preferences. Example: my guy and I order salads at a restaurant, the 1st thing we do is i take any chile peppers, croutons, meat and cheese and move them to his salad and he takes any tomatoes, eggs, seeds, mushrooms and “weird” things like endive and moves them to mine!

However we’ve long since decided it’s easiest to just get our own pizzas because he likes all the meats and I like all the vegetables lol

Order a half an half. Your toppings on one half, her toppings on the other half……….

When I was growing up there was a Hawaiian lady up the stairs that put pineapple on EVERYTHING – so the smell of cooked pineapple went EVERYWHERE in the building. . .

Sure, different strokes for different folks – but the smell of cooked pineapple still turns my stomach.

Very nice lady though.

Pineapple is totally yumskilicious! On pizza with ham, mixed into cottage cheese, or just straight on my breakfast plate, it is delicioso! (Good sweet ones coming out of Ecuador right now, but let them ripen until you can whiff the fragrance coming from the base.)

Plus you get ham [or spam!]

Garfield what have you got against Hawaiian pizza? My favorite is ham and pineapple.

I pretty much love all pizza, it is pizza after all. Anchovies and black olives is my favorite.

People saying that fruit does not belong on pizza are insane. fruit that is already on pizza:-Bell pepper-Tomato-Olives-Chillies-Cheese

I’m with Garfield! UGH! Pineapple is NOT a pizza topping…..

Time to re-evaluate your relationship, Garfield

Each individual has his or her own preference. Just split a large pizza with half pepperoni and half pineapple.

I had a friend who liked pineapple on pizza. Key word being had.

*raises hand …like me!

Who knew that Garfield actually had some standards when it comes to food?

When I was about 5 my mother made ham with pineapples on it. Halfway through dinner I had to run to the bathroom to throw up. I’ve never had pineapple on anything since. The thought of pineapple is disgusting to me.

so does my brother… yuck. :p

I ROFL the first time I saw this. X-D

I’m with Garfield on this one.

None of my friends. I have it on the application list for potential new friends. “Do you put pineapple on pizza?” Answer that sucker wrong and I won’t even acknowledge a hello from you on the street.

Not my favourite idea for a pizza topping, but I wouldn’t say no. Pineapple on gammon is great.

No we don’t, Arlene…

This sounds to me like the “shark tank” (Happy Days version) If you feel that you are not getting enough comments on your comic, then make any comment about pizza and pineapple and the explosion starts. Pineapple, ham and anchovies please.

Maybe Jon should order a Hawaiian pizza so Garfield won’t eat it

Although it isn’t cannon, pineapple goes well on teri burgers.

Weirdo. Compromise. Forget the pineapple, substitute 9 Lives Sea Food Delight! The smell of hot cat food on cheese is too much to resist! :9

Pineapple on pizza is flipping good! I don’t understand the vehement hatred for it.

I never met a pizza that I didn’t like!

This is honestly one of the funniest Garfield strips I’ve ever seen! And I’m happy to know Arlene’s on my side regarding pineapple on pizza! No, I’m not ashamed.

Isn’t that JUST a man!! :)

It’s true I like Ham and Pineapple on my Pizza.

I had pineapple pizza once, it was because of a girl. “The things we do for love.”

Says Arlene who eats from trash bins.

Uh oh, Garfield creating controversy.

Pineapple upside down cake and pina coladas! Yum!

Jon really should have thought of ordering a pizza that’s half meat and half onions, peppers, and pineapple so that Garfield won’t eat the entire thing. In the case of the latter, I don’t like any of those toppings on my pizza either, preferring pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and olives.

Pineapple on pizza=ABOMINATION! (From Chicago,best pizza period!)

There is nothing wrong with pineapple on pizza. It is Italian snobbery to complain about that, because it is not ‘traditional’. If you like it, why should you not be allowed to eat it?

I see a divide in the Garfield@ comment section on if pineapple should be on pizza. I say re-rebel against Garfield. We are ABASED REBELS LITERALLY ENDANGERING NEGLECTFUL EATING

A R L E N E

To quote Alice (CuldeSac) today, “Ew.”

Who’s “a lot of us”?

Not a pizza with pineapple

“Pizza”

Don’t be a fruitcake, Garf!

I’m with Garfield

GAH! Why can’t she be more sensible and order anchovies?

It’s okay given the appropriate accompanying toppings.

Garfield is against anything that isn’t FATTENING!

No, what never belongs on a pizza is … chicken!

Hawaiian pizza is delicious; the canadian bacon is what legitimizes it.

The only ones who should be allowed to have pineapple on their pizza are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Augh!!! Pineapple on a pizza is an Infamnia !!

I would think cats would like the all meat toppings one……

Finally, finally, finally…

Arlene can have her own opinion

Even if its wrong

de gustibus non est disputandum … but don’t get that pineapple anywhere near my pizza

I’m with Garfield! Yuk!

That’s not as bad as when my then-13-year-old sister put peas on her pizza! (She’s 33 now; she’ll be 34 this December.)

Only with Canadian bacon.

My Russian Blue cat Ashley loves Pineapple, I was surprised when I gave a very small piece of a meat lovers Pizza and he devoured the small Pineapple chunks on it

I couldn’t believe a cat would like such things, so I gave him another 2 pieces of plain Pineapple with nothing else on it and he devoured it eagerly.

I have heard tales of some cats enjoying Bananas. I tried giving Ashley a small piece of Banana, but he turned up his nose at that and walked away.

Oh the vagaries of being a cat owner……., just when you think you know them well they surprise you yet again!.

They way I look at it is – if I don’t put pineapple on my pizza, it means there is more pineapple for those who do! And then we are all happy.

Arlene has bad “taste”.

Don’t know it until you’ve tried it! I used to think pineapple was awful. But it turned out that “canned” pineapple was awful and that fresh pineapple, and later, pineapple on pizza is awesome!!!

I like pineapple on my pizza, as long as there isn’t any other meats on it.

In the words of the late great Sir Pterry “There is no excuse for putting pineapple on pizza”. Nuff said.

Love pineapple on pizza. Worked with a member of the SDA church for a few years. He did not eat meat but was fine with cheese. Many Mondays we would split a “fruit and fungus” a pineapple and mushroom on whole wheat crust. When I order now I go for pineapple and Canadian Bacon.

I don’t like pineapple in general, so I’m obviously not going to put it on pizza, but I don’t get why people make such a huge deal about the “pineapple on pizza” thing. If you like that kind of stuff, then all the power to you - people should make such a huge deal about it.

I never thought it belonged on pizza. It was a total no-no, non-starter, bad, blah —— until one day, many moons ago, when a customer at a pizza shop I was working at was a no show. Why did it have to be pineapple and ham?! Yuck! It was quite delicious.

So Garfield has limits other than hating raisins.

I agqrqee with Arlene

You know Hawaiian pizza was invented in Chatham, Ontario, Canada

Love Pineapple and Canadian bacon pizza.

I’ve seen pork and beans on pizza! Actually, doesn’t seem that odd!!

Opinions are like rear ends…everyone has one & they all stink ! ;-)

Hawaiian pizza (ham and pineapple) is my favorite. I have some leftovers in the fridge now. :)

Keep the Ham/Canadian Bacon & Repurpose the Pineapple

I love Hawaii pizza! Shaky’s used to have great ones!

ARLENE! Bad kitty! Bad! BAD kitty!

I’m with Garfield here.

lol

Arlene has poor taste.

Why on Earth does anyone care?

I miss Penelope.
