    <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;Oh boy, it's another dumb joke about some family member of Garfield's who will NEVER be mentioned again! Can't wait to find out what sort of forced facile wordplay and/or serious mental health condition will serve as the basis for this one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to read something more artistically resonant and FAR better-edited, why not go over and check out guest host Amy's &lt;a href="https://archiveofourown.org/users/PrincessDesire/pseuds/PrincessDesire" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;presumably delightful fan fiction&lt;/a&gt;? Seriously, why not? What the fuck's wrong with you?!?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://garfield.com/comic/1979/10/10" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Today's strip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
