    <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;Gung Ho (released in Australia as Working Class Man)[2] is a 1986 American comedy film directed by Ron Howard and starring Michael Keaton.[3] The story portrayed the takeover of an American car plant by a Japanese corporation (although the title is an Americanized Chinese expression, for "work" and "together").&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most of the movie was filmed on location in the Pittsburgh area with additional scenes shot in Tokyo and Argentina.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A short-lived TV series based on the film, followed in 1987.&lt;/p&gt;
