    <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.

&lt;p&gt;We hope you enjoy the lengthy sequence in which we react to visual art that you don't get to see!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Personally I'm really kinda over the fine &lt;i&gt;Being Jim Davis&lt;/i&gt;-themed wares available for sale in the &lt;a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/pitch-drop-store?utm_campaign=5824&amp;amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;amp;utm_source=Pitch%2BDrop%2BStore" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Pitch Drop Store&lt;/a&gt;, but if you're still interested in that crap then go for it I guess.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Well, now you've done it. You went and recorded an episode of &lt;i&gt;Being Jim Davis&lt;/i&gt;, didn't you? Come on, there's no need to be coy about it; I mean let's face it: We've all been there. It's just that most of us have the decency to do it behind closed doors is all. But not you. No, you went and published it on the internet, and now the rest of us have to listen to it. Well god damn it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shame on you.&lt;/p&gt;
