Garfield by Jim Davis for February 28, 2025

“What’s up, Doc?”

That’s just Liz trying to convince herself.

Just greens? No dressing or croutons? or bacon bits or tomatoes or cheese or nuts? What’s the point?

If you’re eating salad with no dressing, you are a rabbit

That’s honeymoon salad “letus alone with no dressing”?

and Liz with no dressing could be Jon’s dessert

Nobody gets fat from vinaigrette.

I cannot eat salad without dressing..

A girl like Lizz would need roughly 10 kg a day to sustain on “undress salad” (or 30 lettuce heads) . Those meals are going to take some time…

You don’t need dressing on a salad… If you have enough shredded cheese, a little crumbled feta, ham, marinated artichoke hearts, an olive assortment, a few capers, thinly sliced purple onion, a bit or chicken or turkey, and pickled baby corn. You can hardly taste the lettuce at all.

Here’s the box my T.V. came in. Cut it up, and throw it in a bowl.

Garfield has a point.

3rd panel, answer to Garfield question, Guinea Pigs.

No dressing, but you’re clothed?

The Count calls it a Commando Salad.

Garfield, Jon just happens to know what side his bread is buttered.

Pulled pork or shredded beef = meat salad

Cats are obligate carnivores. The doughnuts he eats must all be cooked in beef tallow.

Garfield should be happy, that means more meat for him

I know I’m in the minority here but I enjoy plain romaine.

The only salad I recognize is a taco salad.

I’m with Garfield. At least throw some croutons on there!

Salad without dressing may be a ‘nice’ lunch, but salad with dressing makes a GREAT lunch!

A salad without dressing is a bit naked.

Bleach!

No dressing, are you both insane?

If they are going to eat it like that, why not just graze on the front lawn .. if he has one.

Come on, Garfield, a lot of people actually like salad.

That’s not a salad, it’s a bowl of only greens

garfield is making a good point.

Salad isn’t food. Salad is what food eats!

A good salad needs at least basic oil and vinegar dressing!

Liz has lost her ever-lovin’mind‼️

I respectfully disagree. A dry salad is boring. You don’t need to pile on a full-fat creamy dressing, but you do need to put something on it, even if it’s just oil and vinegar.

This year I guess we can say good bye to that summer favorite – egg salad sandwich.

I’ve had dressing with no salad but not salad with no dressing…

I have had a green salad with just lemon juice, and it was okay, but it was a side dish for the rest of my meal. And it was just a one time experiment anyway.

I do make all my own dressings now, but there does have to be some kind of dressing. And it’s not necessarily all that low in calories.

Then, why are they still dressed?

I’m with Garfield on this one.

accidentally put salad supreme, lemon & pepper and garlic only, it was delicious

that girl looks like all the girls at my school: way too much makeup and thinks they’re popular

Sis: I love Garfield’s comment in the last panel, maybe they are Garfield!

I splash mine with some cranberry infused olive oil, balsamic or something, plain is just plain, rabbit food

I love Garfield, but Davis’ perspective on “healthy” eating seems so antiquated to me. All the diet talk and making classic vegan foods like tofu and kale out to be disgusting and inedible … I’m tired of it. I get it’s supposed to be funny but honestly, who still thinks eating some lettuce with no dressing is even a side dish let alone an entire meal? That’s like, what, 50 calories? Or that people actually view healthy eating as eating a kale and tofu casserole? Liz is smart. She’s a vet. There’s no way she would think this! Also, as a vegan, I have eaten these foods in so many amazing ways. It doesn’t have to be gross!!!

Better with dressing and a slice of sourdough with oil & balsamic baked in, what are you people British ? ;-)
