Garfield by Jim Davis for September 13, 2023

and cats love their grooming after a dumpster dive

They sure put on quite a show too.

Dear Dr. Scratch ‘N’ Sniff, how do I get rid of these fleas ?

A: Just sleep with your owner.

Better flees away from fleabag.

A flea collar would have them flea-ing…….

I wish Odie had the ability to speak.

Yo odio that Odie can’t speak.

Encore, Encore!

Performance art.

That is what dogs do scratch and sniff.

Dogs love their scratching but hate to get a bath.

…just as cats love theirs!! What they scratch best isn’t themselves, though!!

In the earlier strips, Garfield was scratching himself in a similar way as that of Odie.

Sigh, talk about the power of suggestion, now there’s a spot between my shoulder blades that itches…

Well done, Odie. You are a professional scratcher.

Take another bow!

Ode would be at the Olympics if scratching was a sport

it’s good that we don’t have to start from scratch

Scalpo ergo sum.

Dog Scratch Fever…

they do manage to do some crazy angles.

it’s funny when they start to scratch while still running

Beautifully drawn! Is this the first time a scratching Odie or Garfield has been depicted?

Cats scratch too!

Odie’s just getting the extra steps he need to max out on his steps goal on his Fitbit fitness tracker. Garfield has a Bitfit biting tracker to log his bites.

AMD most definitely being scratched……

Scratching is an art in and of itself.

Don’t you ever scratch garfield

It’s good to be proud of your work.

It’s right up there stretching and yawning.
