I Don't Like Mondays

GOODNESS it's been a while, hasn't it? Months! Unless you're catching up on this at some point in the future, in which case no time has passed at all, but I think it's obvious that we're not talking to you, here. Welcome in, though. We hope you stick around. In today's episode, chronic pain is discussed, modern mimics are litigated, best bugs are decided, and Guy runs through the house yelling a b...

Pibbly pobbles, poderinos. Today, Guy has broken a camera, Cat is in The Pit, asshole fae stole Guy's voice, and Godzilla had a bit of a yamp about the place. Content note for the beginning and the end of this episode - the strip itself is a bit, you know, suicide-y. Classic Garfield, you zany pusscat! https://web.archive.org/web/20250309090201/https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/10/18 October...

Yabba-Dabba-Garfield, listenerinos, here we are again with another delicious bite of the podcast pie. Today we talk at length about Cat's tentative first steps in Having ADHD, as well as her experience taking medication for it for the first time. We talk a lot about the malevolent universe, the betrayal of trying to do something, and Guy's Litany Against Wives. Also, content warning for suicide. N...

Let's be honest, it's been a while, hasn't it? Basically a series of mental collapses and surprising diagnoses have meant that both of us have effectively been large, floppy lumps over the winter period. However: things have improved! Mainly because Guy bought a milk-frother and now we can have hot chocolate practically on tap. Oh, also, Cat had a life-changing diagnosis of the brain (lol welcome...

doing? This week, we discuss how to deal with The Fash, what a good sherbert is, strike ettiquette, and the terrifyingly American concept of Pixar's Cars. Also a Garfield that, for some reason, breaks through Cat's steely exterior and causes genuine psychic agony. THAT'S PODCASTING, HECTOR! https://web.archive.org/web/20221130125311/https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/10/15 October 15, 1978

Aye up, you lot. We've been, once again, busy and ill in equal measure, but now we're back and firing on at least one cylinder and ready to talk about that big old ball of cat: Penn & Teller. This episode, a kitten climbs on both Guy and Cat, wizards have been witnessed, tattoos have been had, Guy made a game, and we discuss the concept of internal validation, rather than being a constant void of...

New Episode, new you. Possibly the same you. Or maybe there IS something different about you. Have you done your hair? It looks great! Today, Guy and Cat discuss which McDonald's creature we could take in a fight, Guy definitely doesn't encourage you to steal contruction machinery, and a tank gets chronoshifted into the ocean. Garfield! October 13, 1978 https://web.archive.org/web/20240526044922/h...

Lovely stuff, this podcasting lark. This week, Guy and Cat talk about Garfield through the ages, nervous animals, and postmodern discourse. Also there's Garfield, and a whippet asks you to listen. October 12, 1978 https://web.archive.org/web/20240422122645/https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/10/12

It's been a minute since we last spoke! Well, what have you missed? Let's see...Guy and Cat have a new cat, Guy has a new autism, and Cat has the limits of her patience tested by her delightful husband who is always a joy to be around. Also, a comic. 11/10/1978 https://web.archive.org/web/20170715022959/https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/10/11

Well this is a whizz-bang spectacular. Cat has a bit of heat exhaustion, Yuna the cat goes all floppity, there is an EXTENDED discussion on how to answer a simple yes or no question (spoiler warning: autism), spooky tales are discussed, and we briefly (like a cheese's brie) rank bagged supermarket cheeses. Plus, Cat reads a short story from a book of spooky tales! COR!! Also Garfield. Eugh. Octobe...

Oh no. This episode has done got a big wee in it. Err. Today, we talk about a second go at making pizza, further analyse Guy's fear of failure, Guy flounces out of a shop, a shoe falls apart at a theme park, toilet ghosts are discussed, and Quentin Tarantino is indirectly called out. Plus, wer review the strip and do the patreon plug about three quarters of the way through for some reason. What a...

Over two hours! Gosh we treat you right. In this episode, we discuss a karate grading, doing your best in difficult circumstances, the most disreputable creature Catherine has ever met, and then have a conversation about cooking pizza that lasts an hour and a half, and explores neurodivergence and the effects of the same in new and unexpected ways. A Smooth Ronald is mentioned, and Garfield is rel...

Hooray! Hooray! An episode of a podcast! Hooray! Today, we talk about rollercoasters, duck crimes, one-man bands, pigeon situations, and more! That's what you want from a Garfield podcast, and don't you forget it! https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/10/07 07/10/78

Aye up, like. It's us! Doing this! This week we discuss taking snuff, revisit the topic of how much personal responsibility should be considered compared to systemic forces, how Cat would shame a man on a train, and how Guy tried to stop someone from working in the arms industry. We also discuss Guy's recent Revelation, which genuinely shocked Cat's little socks off. 07/10/1978 https://web.archive...

Oh GOSH there is Garfield-related news that has SHAKEN US TO THE CORE! How can the podcast survive?! Listen...and find out! Also, Cat is rejuvinated by a glass of water, Guy has a challenging interaction with a baffled delivery driver, and Guy asks a question that should never be answered... October 06, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/10/06

Yabba dabba doo, Garfarinos, today's epi- Nope. This week, Guy and Cat talk about Returning to LARP, invent a new category for strongman competitions, and discuss what karate can teach you with regards to understanding yourself and your response to the world around you. There's also a comic about a cat, but it's not much tbh. October 05, 1978 https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/10/05

Ohh yeah. Cat's been playing Sonic the Hedgehog! Guy's been wondering how he can internalise a sense of joy! Yuna has been attacking The Baron Harkonnen! Garfield has been, and will continue to be. On this episode: Failure, Is sucess the expected, neutral outcome?, What's it like watching someone play a Sonic as what has not played a Sonic before? All these questions! And more! October 04, 1978 ht...

Oh yeah. There's been FLU. Australian Business. Painters. Sausages. Guy getting fully murdered by a tradesman. Ell of it. Hence the delay! But here's a summary of all that! In this episode, as well as the above, Yuna steals an item, clown nudes are discussed, and Yuna does other terrible cat things because she is a hairy little criminal. And, shockingly, Guy thinks a Garfield comic is "quite funny...

Hello! What do YOU think a cardboard biscuit is? Do you rem,ember those chocolate biscuit dome foods with beasts on them? What's it like living with someone with chronic pain and terrible health anxiety? What has Guy bought now?! As per, this one is full of nosense in the first half hour or so, before dipping into a broader conversation about our various struggles, and the often overlooked struggl...

Wahoo! It's a me! Garfield! We're back and OH BOY we are having Big Talks today. A zoo is visited in the rain, Alan Moore is visited in a dream (where a revelation about the nature of hope is freely given), karate is attempted, a misunderstanding over toast becomes a series of musings on the nature of communication and upset, and Guy drops a big rotten guff in the car. Oh yeah. Also Garfield maybe...

Gosh it's been a minute, hasn't it? Hello! We're back! After some quite severe depression, a couple of colds, and getting a desk, your favourite Garfield podcast hosts* have returned, and we're here to talk about a comic. And landlord. And autism. And queuing. and fireworks. Huzzah. https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/09/30 September 30, 1978

Oh yeah. Here we go. This one is, quite frankly, a classic of the genre. We discuss the German Jaeger "Oompah Welcome", comission a drawing of the same live on air, talk about medical silencing and the time Guy sneezed out a filling, explore the notions of what constitutes art with regards to frozen hotdog water, and briefly discuss magical thinking as an avenue for recovering from religious traum...

Oh blimey it has been a WHILE. A variety of great stresses and illnesses has befallen the IDLM household, and yet, we persist. So we are BACK, and we are talking about: Bedroom Slugs; Wedding Japes; Surprise Corona Virus; Garfield. Slightly shorter episode than normal, but still absolutely packed with ripe nonsense. https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1978/09/28 September 28, 1978

As you might be able to tell, one of us really enjoyed this strip. Today we talk about a summer fair, splat the rat, what looked like a penis, discuss the concept of encouragement once again, and imagine a world where we make a podcast about Peanuts and/or Achewood, two comics that it is actually possible to like. Also, Guy burns his bum off on a scotch bonnet. Then there's Garfield. Great. Septem...

Good LORD. 100 episodes. I genuinely cannot believe it. To mark this special occasion, we have an extended disagreement over the word "should" in a hypothetical situation where a Da Vinci Code-level secret is revealed, and King Prince Charles may have to step down. We reminisce over a violence ape, argue the toss about cheesecake, and consider the importance once again of telling right wing candid...
