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. en-us episodic The Tagline Goes Here Jonathan Gibson Being Jim Davis is the world's premiere daily Garfield chrono-cast.
