    <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;
It’s a &lt;i&gt;Garfield&lt;/i&gt;, and Christopher Winter is once again stuck in Australian drug jail. Filling in for him is fan-favorite guest host Daniel Manning, who nabs the coveted role of helping usher in the advent of not one but TWO important characters in the Garfverse this week. Oh what's that you say? We refer to &lt;i&gt;every&lt;/i&gt; returning guest host on this podcast as a "fan-favorite" in these descriptions? Well to that I say, madam, in the morning this podcast will be sober, whilst you will still be ugly.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Update: &lt;i&gt;Being Jim Davis&lt;/i&gt; have determined that Crispin Glover's use of down syndrome-afflicted actors is, at the very least, in poor taste.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Hosts: Jon Gibson, Daniel Manning
