Being Jim Davis is the world's premiere daily Garfield chrono-cast. Our mission is to review and discuss each and every strip of the long-running syndicated comic series before eventually dying of old age.

Use the fork, Garfield! Peace cannot be kept by fork; it can only be achieved by understanding.” May the fork be with you, Garfield! I was not born to be forked. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest. The fork is strong with this Garfield. But the Arbucklean religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword,...

In today's episode of Being Jim Davis , guest host Dan Manning claims that Garfield is "not your average tabby." Is he correct? Only history can judge! Then Chris makes reference to this old-but-sexy statue of the Roman Emperor Vespasian, but then he can't remember which dynasty he founded. It was the Flavian Dynasty. Moron.

Episode 739 - Thursday, June 26, 1980 06.09.2018 24:48

Today's Garfield is basically just early 1980s tentacle porn, so naturally we spent some time appreciating the highlights of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Here's Katsushika Hokusai's justly famous "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" (ca. 1829–1833): Here's Utagawa Kuniyoshi's "Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre" (ca. 1844): Chris is really into Utagawa and suggests that you check him out!...

Episode 731 - Wednesday, June 18, 1980 29.08.2018 21:15

We do NOT touch on it in the episode but it definitely bears mention that this particular Garfield contains some genuinely awful kerning. Just truly atrocious. Though, I dunno, maybe it's like that every day? I can't be bothered to look. Anyway, in answer to your question: Yes, of COURSE we talked about 9/11 today. What choice did we have, given the strip?
