Garfield by Jim Davis for February 16, 2024

no argument from any human or animal on that Garfield. I mean, look at the size of that Thermometer! What does she think Garfield is, A Brontosaurus?!

Funny enough, this isn’t the only nightmare with Liz in it. Last time, she wasn’t a vet.

She keeps it in the freezer.

What is Garfield eating to cause this rash of night terrors he’s been having? Is he having a midnight tryst with lasagna, followed by doughnuts?

And then the colonoscopy will begin.

NO!

All right, kids. Tomorrow the big one. Guess tomorrow nightmare and wins exciting prizes!

The worst part is that he has to hold it under his tongue, but she’s gonna insert it from his other end.

Rear wrecker….

…wow.

I didn’t think they had the nerve to do this one. I’m honestly impressed.

John’s smile tells it all…

Tomorrow could provide us with nermal or lasagna nightmare

Liz will rectify the situation.

Jon and Liz got over the “Dogdemic” illness, that hit them a couple days ago.

Oof Garfield.

I have an idea. Just copy and paste the third panel.

Oh no! This is the worst yet Garfield. Guess which end of you she’s gonna… OW!

Whatever he ate, he better not eat out again. He might not survive.

Then why is Jon smiling?

Besides impossible!

plot twist: all those nightmare comics are part of a lucid dream (a dream where the person think they’re awake)

I guessed a Nermal call back to the original 1979 September 3rd where the last frame is the nightmare frame instead of “wake me up in a week”. I did not expect extreme **** penetration with a comically large **** thermometer by Liz!? Why does Jon look so pleased that this is happening!? What the heck was Jim THINKING MAKING A GARFIELD LIKE THIS!?

The giant enema nightmare. Nasty. Especially for those of us who fear the urologist.

This is Garfield history for the weirdest Garfield comic, and during Lent as well.

Wait until you see the Q-tip nasal swab she will use to test you for covid. Fun Fact: The Q stands for Quality and they were originally called Baby Gays. They were invented Valentine’s Day 1923.

Every day is the worst one. Soon the first one he had won’t seem so bad. These are great gags.

which end is that headed for?

Reminds me of the 10/26/1986 comic strip

Looks like a Wrecked-him thermometer.

Third time he’s said that recently.

Liz is giving a look like, “I’m going to clobber you with this.”

X-Rated comics. Not for kids

Yeah, that thermometer would be off-putting to me as well.

Ouch!

“WHATEVER”

(imagines a different version of this part of the dialogue of this cartoon)

NO

Just what did Garfield eat that has caused him to get weeks worth of nightmares.

Is that the smallest rectal thermometer you have?

nermal living with garfield forever

Forget the length of the thermometer, the diameter alone would be a killer.

When I was in the hospital for a tonsillectomy at the tender age of 7 along with my older sister, her temperature was measured in the mouth and mine was measured in the rectum. Just before before surgery, she got a shot in the arm and I got a shot in the kiester, after a struggle! Boy, did I hate that. My mother was an RN who worked at the hospital and all her fellow nurse buddies would check in on us. No you can see why I was angry, indeed!

The extraterrestrials were out of town so Liz was hired to probe Garfields nether regions.

It could have been worse, it could have been like what happened in the first “Madagascar” film when Marty got a thermometer as a birthday present from Melman.

Another one?

With the size of that thing, it could go in one end and come out the other!

Is that a rectal thermometer?

Is there a vibrating function?

That would be the time to request one of those no contact thermometers.

I just hope it wasn’t a rectal thermometer

I suspect most people would panic at the sight of that

Biggest rectal thermometer ever!

Getting sick of Garfield nightmares

I’m in full agreement with Garfield on this one.

If it was something he ate, that is going to be a tough one to figure out.

Seems like this is worse:

OUCH!!

Bear in mind people, it’s the BIG end that goes in.
