    <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;Did we even record a podcast? Are we recording this podcast right this very moment? Or has podcasting not yet been invented? It's hard to tell anymore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Definitely check out &lt;a href="https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/e/ecc46368-6341-4d5a-8191-844eab60dc67/pmR3c8gi.png" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;this color-corrected version of the 'upside-down cake' strip&lt;/a&gt; from last saturday that we talked about, created by listener, superfan, and of-ttime guest host Josh Gates (and &lt;a href="https://garfield.com/comic/1982/03/12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;here's&lt;/a&gt; the original for comparison. Pretty fucking rad.).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Probably we'll never stop hawking the fine &lt;i&gt;Being Jim Davis&lt;/i&gt;-themed wares available for sale in the &lt;a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/pitch-drop-store?utm_campaign=5824&amp;amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;amp;utm_source=Pitch%2BDrop%2BStore" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Pitch Drop Store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;I'd like to apologize to you, the listener, for forgetting to write anything for today's episode last night before it was published. Clearly it's too late at this point because you've already downloaded it first thing (like you do every morning). Oh well. I suppose at this point it basically doesn't matter what I write, so I won't bother even mentioning the fact that Garfield and Jon are doing a bunch of stuff together today, such as waking up, bathing, eating, reading, watching TV, and sitting before jogging and not jogging respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Special thanks to this week's guest host, Danny Gibson. You can follow him on Twitter &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/fasterduckworth" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;@FasterDuckworth&lt;/a&gt;. Even though it seems self-serving to mention it since both hosts of this podcast are involved in it, you can also check out his YouTube channel &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIjevdzUt_u5hD7jsdL271g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
