This one's pretty great. Jon Arbuckle in a state of childlike glee at the prospect of finding some really premium wanking material in his mailbox was not what we expected to encounter in panel one of today's strip. But that's what we get, and it makes for a halfway decent episode of Being Jim Davis! We talk about the evolution of pornography over the last 40 years, the subtle yet undeniable connection between Garfield and Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy, and the enigmatic question of just who the fuck 'Elke' refers to.
Jon makes a number of incorrect statements regarding The Sopranos.
