    <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;At nine minutes and 44 seconds into this episode, I mention that I bought some goat milk previously in the day. I wonder if it's still good! Yeah, I'd completely forgotten that I bought goat milk; I'm going to go see if it's still good, because I happen to love goat milk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Also, I know everyone going to expect a link/embed of the title music from &lt;i&gt;The Good the Bad and the Ugly&lt;/i&gt; since Chris hums that at one point, but you know what? Sometimes I just can't be bothered. &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we53TOJyt78" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Here's something completely different though&lt;/a&gt;.
