    <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.

You might just assume at first glance that we talked about something &lt;strong&gt;interesting&lt;/strong&gt;, or at the very least memorable, for 18 minutes today, but no, we just talked about &lt;i&gt;Garfield&lt;/i&gt;. What the fuck.

This misreporting by Members, press &amp;amp; advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are decorating a fireplace, there is no reason to break the law and position numerous delicate objets d'art precariously on the edge of the mantel. We do not have a policy of weaving dangerously between such curios.  Period.
