    <title>Being Jim Davis - Episodes Tagged with “Cat Food”</title>

    <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.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;This is the one where Jon gives Garfield some food and Garfield tapdances with his hands in the food and then in panel there's a weird non-sequitur about horse meat? Well maybe it's not a complete non-sequitur because like they probably do and/or did use horse meat in cat food, like that's probably a thing you know? I guess it just feels weird within the WITHIN fiction of &lt;em&gt;Garfield&lt;/em&gt; that he would suddenly make that the subject of conversation when we would normally expect like a lighthearted quip about his weight or something. Like whatever though, I guess. Anyway, here's an episode of our podcast.&lt;/p&gt;
