    <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;&lt;a href="https://garfield.com/comic/1979/07/30" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Today's strip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This episode is NOT brought to you by any particular sponsor (read: any sponsor at all), but if it WERE, it would probably be Mubi. I really like Mubi. Do you guys know Mubi? It's like Netflix, except it's &lt;i&gt;curated&lt;/i&gt;. That means it ISN'T full of a bunch of absolute horseshit that sucks. Also I heard Netflix is raising their prices soon; did you guys hear that? What a bunch of total crap that shit is. So like, not only do you &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; gotta deal with sifting through a bunch of lame-ass fuck &lt;strong&gt;bullshit&lt;/strong&gt; movies &amp;amp; TV that no one in their right mind would ever give a flying ass-fuck about, but also it means that you won't be spending an extra hour of your evening arguing with your SO about what to watch. I'm guessing her name is Claire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Claire!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No, instead you get &lt;i&gt;straight&lt;/i&gt; the fuck down to actually watching something that rules. Like John Carpenter's &lt;i&gt;The Fog&lt;/i&gt;, which I might have watched while doing this write-up instead of listening to the podcast episode I'm supposed to be talking about since it was about to expire. Honestly though, I'm not worried about it; in fact I think I can fake my way through this episode. Let's see, Garfield something something... Possibly lasagna... How about that Liz the Veterinarian, amirite? Oh, or bathing or something. I guess.&lt;/p&gt;
