    <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.

This week on the program we're joined by longtime friends of the show Mark Frazier and John Dickendasher from our sister/rival program &lt;i&gt;Magmar Sucks&lt;/i&gt;. We discuss numerous highly relevant sociological phenomena including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but not including much else.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Hosts: Christopher Winter, Jon Gibson, Mark Frazier, John Dickendasher
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://garfield.com/comic/1980/04/21" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Today's strip&lt;/a&gt;

Here are the the social media links we probably already mentioned during the episode, rendering them completely unnecessary:
