    <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;Fan fav guest co-host Dan Gibson makes his triumphant return to the annals of &lt;i&gt;Being Jim Davis&lt;/i&gt;, and, oh brother, did WE have some fun! Actually that happened yesterday and nobody mentioned it in the writeup, but what are you gonna go? He's still here nonetheless, and you have to put up with it. Also, it wasn't &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; that much fun.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You know, if Maine senator Susan Collins were on the program with us tonight, I'm sure she'd agree that Garfield was definitely assaulted by &lt;em&gt;somebody&lt;/em&gt; matching Jon Arbuckle's exact description in panel 2, but damned if it isn't impossible to say with absolute certainty whether it was Jon himself. So whatever I guess! Hey, why not let's reward his technically-possibly-extant humanity by promoting him to the most powerful position in the universe? I mean it's definitely &lt;em&gt;possible&lt;/em&gt; we're all just fucking brains in vats or whatever, amirite?&lt;/p&gt;
