Garfield by Jim Davis for March 21, 2024

I’ll wait for the movie… actually I’d rather not.

Keep the old skills alive!

Are you including visual aids as well?

Loved the farm, HATED the milking!

Hasn’t such a book, even a series of books, such as that been done? I’m getting a twinge of Little House on the Prairie here.

Jon is devloping a non-addictive cure for insomnia.

This book will be an udder disaster

Oh come on Garfield, it’s not that bad!

Horses for courses as they say……

Is that about when he learned never to milk with cold hands?

Ah city fools will never knows the charm of farm. And the fresh cow meelk is the best. Unlike steenky packaged meelk in city. Not to mentions the fresh air and so many pets in and outside of barn. Phoeey to steenky towns and beeg steenky cities.

Great. Another 1 page book.

I think I will just wait for the Mooovie, hopefully they do not try to milk the under dog angle too much. (yeah i did steal half of this joke from codycab, who’s gonna stop me?)

I recommend Garfield read a good book.

how about you start with writing a good strip, and your strip has been lazy for a while now

I would buy Jon’s book if it is reasonably priced. Maybe at 99 cents.

This isn’t part of that new Garfield movie, is it?

Don’t listen to Garf. This’ll be a best seller.

Jon, don’t forget the most important tip, tie down (or up) the tail or she’ll whack you with it and the milk will get spilled.

It’s titled… “Jon Milks the Bull”. While having a Happy Ending, it does not end particularly well for Jon.

First, make sure it’s a cow.

I love these older comic strips, the way life used to be and reminisce about the good ‘ol days. We should have more fun reminiscing about the past and how we got to today. Remember people of today, if it wasn’t for the people of yesterday, you wouldn’t have the luxuries of today!!! ❤️ So enjoy!!! ☺️

And milking is an art. Knowing how to dodge a cow’s wet tail while "stripping " the udders is a skill in itself.

Jon’s writing could be an interesting little book to read. But, please, please let noone make a movie about it.

POV me not wanting to do homework

Pivotal? Meaning the part where he twists around so that he falls off the stool?

I have fond memories of “helping” my cousins milk the cows when I was small, and having fresh milk from the Jersey cows squirted into my mouth like I was a barn cat.

“I HEAR THE TV CALLING”

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

I’M GOING TO WATCH TV

I’d read that book if it told me how the cows manage to turn grass into boxed milk. Does those boxes come out of her bum?

Think Paws Inc could’ve milked some more humor out of this one!

Oh, that should be a bestseller… NOT! No one would want to buy a book written by Jon Arbuckle.

The Art of Milking, Chapter One:

The most important part of learning to milk on the farm is telling the difference between a cow and a bull. Mom sent me out one day with Dad to learn to milk. Dad thought it would be funny to have me milk old Chester. Well after Chester kicked me in the head and Doc Boy and Dad about died from laughing, Mom and Aunt Gussie came a running out to see what the commotion was all about. Just about that time Herman Post come by with the mail, looked at me lying there on the ground, looked at the bull and said, “That boy ain’t right.” In chapter two I will talk about how to get hoof dents out of your skull.

Does she know how to make a grilled cheese?

Didn’t Jon’s family live on a farm

Is that cable TV calling Jon about the TV rights?

Faster Than The Speed Of Love

Put the bucket in place, squeeze the cow’s nipples, and hope she doesn’t attack you. If you try the same thing with a person who doesn’t wanna be touched, you will get slapped.

That chapter is going to be an udder failure

I’m reading this while watching the Garfield show at the same time

Ratings milk the US cow seats more than prints pressed… Bye, bye, missed lucrative pen…

He can make several chapters out of one milking, if he really wants to “milk” it.

Garfield just go back to bed

People need to know where their food comes from.

Yeah, good luck with the chapter.
