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. We hope you'll come along with us on this journey, and share in the laughter as we catalogue the daily adventures of everyone's favorite indolent feline through a lens of history, humor, and heuristics. Each episode will be a thorough examination of a single strip. We'll place it in its historical context, then attempt to unravel the morals and meanings hidden under the surface. Finally, we'...

Episode 413 - Sunday, August 5, 1979 15.10.2017 21:26

Remember that time I watched John Carpenter's The Fog instead of listening to the entire week of podcasts I was supposed be writing about? Such fond memories. Anyway, since I didn't listen to this episode, I have literally NO WAY of knowing that we spent about 50% percent of it talking about Watership Down . I guess you'll have to tell me that. Today's strip

Episode 412 - Saturday, August 4, 1979 14.10.2017 19:21

It's Saturday, and the horrible memory of John Carpenter's The Fog is but a pale shadow. Here is Prince, singing that Prince song that Prince wrote . Here's another Prince song . Prince wrote this one while thinking about what it was like to be Prince, about which he as Prince knew a great deal. And this is one of my absolute favorite songs written by Prince, who wrote the following Prince song by...

Episode 411 - Friday, August 3, 1979 13.10.2017 23:55

Today's strip Hey, you know what I haven't done in a while? Embedded a video, that's what. Let's see if I remember how to do that . If anyone's curious, I rate both versions of The Absent Minded Professor higher than John Carpenter's piece of shit movie The Fog .

Episode 410 - Thursday, August 2, 1979 12.10.2017 12:33

Today's strip I regret watching The Fog .

Episode 409 - Wednesday, August 1, 1979 11.10.2017 27:04

Today's strip Okay, halfway through The Fog now and it's becoming pretty clear that, honestly, it's kinda shitty. Sorry about hyping it up before. In retrospect, maybe I should have listened to this week's episodes while doing these write-ups instead of watching The Fog . #regrettablelifedecisions If memory serves, today's Garfield> is still about bathing.

Episode 408 - Tuesday, July 31, 1979 10.10.2017 25:41

Today's strip Okay guys, I'm like a third of the way through watching John Carpenter's T/he Fog on Mubi and honestly, it's really not that great. Like, it's just some pretty classic B-movie shit, with a lot of uninspired dialogue and half-assed cinematography. To be completely frank with you, I'm not really paying that much attention. But the point is, Mubi is really great. If there were a super a...

Episode 407 - Monday, July 30, 1979 09.10.2017 35:38

Today's strip This episode is NOT brought to you by any particular sponsor (read: any sponsor at all), but if it WERE, it would probably be Mubi. I really like Mubi. Do you guys know Mubi? It's like Netflix, except it's curated . That means it ISN'T full of a bunch of absolute horseshit that sucks. Also I heard Netflix is raising their prices soon; did you guys hear that? What a bunch of total cra...

Man, my audio is really bad this week. Why didn't someone stop me? Anyhow, here's something unrelated: For more from guest host Sen Cantor, why not direct your browser to the Effervescence Network and Patreon ? Today's strip

Episode 402 - Wednesday, July 25, 1979 04.10.2017 23:13

In today's episode, my audio is still kind of fucked up and, even worse, we're still talking about Garfield. Why do we do this to ourselves? You can find guest host Sen Cantor on the Effervescence Network and Patreon . Today's strip

Episode 401 - Tuesday, July 24, 1979 03.10.2017 16:06

In today's episode of Being Jim Davis , my (Chris') audio is all fucked up. Special guest host Sen Cantor alerted me to the fact and I was going to restart my computer but then Jon was all like "Naw, dude. Our listeners won't even notice. They'll be too busy drunkenly masturbating." That's the contempt in which he holds you, out valued listeners. Hey, speaking of guest host Sen Cantor, why not che...
