    <description>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'll consider the question of whether the strip stands the test of time. Above all, we promise to always present you with our sincere, personal, reaction to each Garfield comic strip.
Our only thought is to entertain you.

Here's another episode of the popular podcast &lt;i&gt;Being Jim Davis&lt;/i&gt;. This one's eight minutes and fifteen seconds. A second is a unit of time with a fascinating history and whose current derivation I think I  remember has something to do with the decay period of... I wanna say cesium atoms? I didn't bother looking it up though, so don't take my word for it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Hosts: Chris Taylor, Blake Smith, Mark Frazier, John Dickendasher
