Being Jim Davis

On today's episode, blah blah blah. Here's a vaguely thematic video: Today's strip

In today's red-letter episode, experience together with us the first ever appearance of a certain sharp-tongued and as yet unnamed veterinarian. Will she become a long-running and beloved character? Is she named "Liz"? Is she a goth? Does the manner in which Jim Davis lavishes attention upon her breasts and buttocks cause us both to feel seriously creeped out? Only time will tell. Today's strip

In today's episode we are unable to come up with a funny beverage-themed pun for Will Smith, the Fresh Prince. Writing this episode description, I still  can't think of one. And yet, somehow I sense that there's a great one out there, somewhere, taunting us. Today's strip

Today we bid a fond farewell to Special Guest-Host Blake Smith. If you're not following him on Instagram and Twitter by this point you're likely some kind of Lovecraftian monster. Do also listen to him on Magmar Sucks as well. In this episode we discuss tractor pulls, hockey, narrative chronology, culinary etiquette, moral relativism, and a little bit of Garfield . But mostly we bullshit about mov...

Today we glimpse yet another panel in the rich patchwork quilt that is Garfield's family history. Scientists estimate that if Garfield continues accruing relatives at this rate, then surely by the year 2017 or so there will be more atoms in the universe that DO belong to relatives of Garfield than atoms that don't.

If you've listened all the way through to the Friday episode this week without checking out special guest host Blake Smith's Instagram account... Well fuck, you're probably some kind of weird alien person. Either that or you're just too busy listening to his podcast . Which would be legit of you. Sorry I called you a weird alien person. Today's strip

Today we make up a bunch of stuff and then lie about having done so, then accuse you the listener of having lied about us making up a bunch of stuff. It's all part of the vast conspiracy against our program by the mainstream Being Jim Davis fanbase on a daily basis. Really, no podcast in American history has ever been treated worse, or more unfairly. Today's strip

Early in the 21st Century, THE JIM DAVIS CORPORATION advanced tabby evolution into the GARFIELD phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant. The GARFIELD 6 Replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them. Replicants were used Off-World as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonizat...

Today we discuss cake, cake terminology, cake nutrition, cake-centric traditions, cake culture, cake ontology, cake abuse, the physics of cake, cake symbolism, birthday cake, cake construction, cake personification, audio equipment, and cake-based misfortune. This week's special guest is Blake Smith from Magmar Sucks , which as you know is the world's greatest Pokémon podcast. You did know th...

Sunday! Here's a great, wholly unrelated song: Today's strip

Blah blah blah Jim Davis Garfield camping Jon Arbuckle something something. Anyway, Chase is a great guest host. Today's strip

I mean, Jim Davis isn't trying anymore. Why should we? Still, you should definitely check out Another Path , Chase's smash-hit new tabletop gaming podcast. Today's strip

Whatever. Here's this: Today's strip

Okay, I've had enough of writing these. Here's a classic 1969 live performance from Brazilian Tropicalia act Os Mutantes : Today's strip

For some reason, guest host Chase recorded all seven episodes this week from an Ohio tractor pull. And, hey, if you have a problem with that, maybe you should listen to his tabletop role-playing podcast Another Path and then give it a five star review on iTunes. That would show him! Today's strip

So I'm writing this commentary before actually editing or listening to today's episode because Jon hasn't got his audio to me yet. So I'm not really sure what we talked about on the podcast. I mean, presumably we talked about Garfield and Jon Arbuckle going camping because -- SPOILER ALERT -- that's the theme for the whole week. And we probably did the drinks roundup because, y'know, Monday. Also,...

Did you guys know Joe Pantoliano was in The Goonies ? I did not. <img class="thumb-image" alt="joe-pantoliano-thegoonies-2.jpg" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57b273931b631b852a251d7e/t/5997c221a803bb5fa623aebd/1503117862569/joe-pantoliano-thegoonies-2.jpg" data-image-dimensions="533x271" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="5997c221a803bb5fa623a...

In this episode, we state a large number of facts. Just a staggering amount. Also I think somebody mentioned the word 'contra' at some point, so here's one of these. Today's strip

So it turns out that the phrase 'riding the ragged edge of disaster' is actually a pre-existent phrase, so we probably should NOT have lauded Jim Davis for coming up with it. We apologize for that. Today's strip

This one's posting late because of technical difficulties. As in, I 'technically' didn't feel like editing last night. Anyway, seems like ol' Jim Davis could have benefitted from watching this video: For more information about self-service fountain drink etiquette, check out episode 00045: An Eternally Recursive Sequence of Self-Spawning Snoop Doggy Doggs of our other podcast Bear Friend Tea Party...

Sun Microsystems inc.  ( Sun ) was a hardware and software company that has fought against software patents .  It was bought out by Oracle  in 2010.  This page will be kept to document the great work that Sun did in campaigns against software patents. Sun signed a 10-year non-agression deal with Microsoft  in 2004. (see Patent non-aggression pacts ) Oh, and yesterday the P...

Yadda yadda yadda, something about condemning the violence that occurs in today's strip 'on many sides'. I mean, you can write these in your own head by this point, right? Today's strip

“Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make. You can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won’t know for twenty years! And you may never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce… “And they say there...

At last this week is over! Hopefully there won't be any more podcasts next week. Today's strip
