Garfield by Jim Davis for November 10, 2024

This is why I love Odie.

“Leaf” them be, Odie. (Too soon?)

Haha, Odie is cute!

Wasn’t Odie the same height as Garfield (excluding the ears)

Fall is my favorite. I wish the leaves turned colors here like they do in places like Georgia.

Odie autumn know better.

Man, this doesn’t even make sense.

What about the evergreens?

I get huge pine cones, pick them up by the bucketful. I love to burn them

I don’t understand?can someone explain please and thank you

Sigh!

Get out there Jon and rake those leafs in to a jumpable pile to distract Odie.

The last leaf falling off the tree is a good thing! It means you are done with raking!

Well, the last leaf off your own trees should mean that… There’s the neighbor across the street with a HUGE maple tree that’s still dropping leaves. And that jerk down the block who never rakes anything and waits for a strong window to blow his leaves into other people’s yards… But, yeah, it’s still a cake and ice cream day when the last of your leaves falls down.

I hear that winter is nice.

I mean, he deserves a 10 for effort

So doggie knows to gets ladder and climbs up to tree. Then why he never do that to get squirrel?

Odie is going to need a looot of rope!

Odie is gloriously in denial!

Oh Odie, they will all be back… a long time from now… sigh.

Look on the bright side. At least they’re be some snow for you to play in!

Our Oregon white oaks will continue dropping leaves all winter

Come on, Odie, can’t you just “leaf” well enough alone?

Awwwwww! Odie’s so endearing and sweet! But yes… we can’t have pretty leaves forever.

Odie is channeling the classic (and beautiful) short story by O. Henry called “The Last Leaf”

That ladder needs to be thrown away, as it’s missing a couple stabilizer bars on the back side. I wouldn’t climb it.

Yup, will be chopping up leaves with my lawnmower next weekend. Don’t know why people waste time and harm their lawns burning them!?!?

Gallant effort, Odie!

Odie, if leaves didn’t fall you couldn’t make piles of em and jump in em.

Thanks, Odie. You reminded me of missing the autumn foliage back in Vermont.

Watching Odie run around like that surely had given Garfield a huge appetite. Like Garfield needs to watch anything to have a huge appetite.

Okay you know what this is actually pretty sad.

Time to bark up a new tree.

Nooooooooooo

You’ve heard of Grumpy Cat?

Garfield is Plumpy Cat! d;o)

Ted Forth would be proud.

“Turn out the lights, the party’s over…”

TOMORROW: Garfield behaves himself

Give him points for trying!

Not very bright but very good at tying knots. For a dog with no opposable thumbs.

Leaf it alone, Odie.

Sorry, Odie. But it’s too late. Summer is already over and fall is already here.

At least Odie gave it a try
