    <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.

It’s a &lt;i&gt;Garfield&lt;/i&gt;! Also, and I do not state this often enough given the impending advent of a new and terrifying decade, one of the very last days of an engorged and sickly 1970s, ravaged and pockmarked by the capricious vicissitudes of time, gasping for air in an anonymous bed in a forgotten wing of a secluded asylum, naked and perversely incognizant of its own foul decay.

The grim drumbeat of senescence pounds ever onward.
