Yes, indeed, it is time. Time again for all of you to interact with me!


So, as we know, there are only two things certain in life, death and Garfield.

What <s>Half-assed</s> witty and amusing strip did Jim Davis chug out on the day you were born?


"How am I supposed to know that!?" You say with righteous indignation!

If you'd listened for a sec I would've told you. Anyway.

Here's the strip for the day I was born. I want you to post your own, and we'll have a vote or something similar as to who was the luckiest one to have... well... the funniest Garfield strip.

Are you with me?

Poor Garfield; you were so tormented on my Birthday.

Holy shit!! Its like my life in comic form!

I'm still trying to work out what this is a sign of. >_o

Huh, I'd actually read that one before.

I can't seem to get it to work right for me (Flash won't register when I clicks it), so yeah. If someone could pull up December 8th 1982, that'd be great


And because I have to.

Ha ha, Garfield you rascal.


EDIT:

Damn it, I feel so sorry for Jon...

Thanks!

The Flash bit didn't work for me either: Luckily, I figured out how to do it in the address bar.

Code: Select all

Example:
http://www.garfield.com/comics/comics_archives_strip.html?1980-ga800807
Format: comics_archives_strip.html?(four digit year)-ga(two digit year)(two digit month)(two digit day)

August 7th, 1980

March 1st, 1984
etc.


Oh, so that's how it works. Thanks, Bes! I didn't care enough to figure it out.

Perhaps this strip explains why I'm so emo.

When I imagine this one without Garfield, I am deeply troubled.

It means you're a mugger, Idran.

Well, at least it has a skull in it.

Seriously, though, what has been the internet's fascination with Garfield lately? First Lasagna Cat, then Penny-Arcade mentions it, now this...

Mine's a touch morbid, which is pretty par for the course.

What we really need to do is find someone born the week of Oct 23-28, 1989. Old, but obligatory.

That skeleton is actually really impressive, by Jim Davis standards.

This thread is actually kind of interesting. Garfield is so generic and nondescript, it's interesting to see what ways your brain can come up with to link these birthday strips to the people whose conceptions they celebrate.

It's just like astrology!

You know...

I just realized, I have REALLY crappy knees. I generally can't sit on them for more than a couple of seconds, or the pain gets bad enough to make me faint. I've got low bloodpressure as well, so I'm used to limp limbs, waking up with a "stranger's" hand on my chest, etc.

Damn you Garfield, you cursed me to an eternity of suffering!

Y'know, if you use a certain synonym for "cat" in that strip........errrrrrrnnnnnnnnevermind.

Heh, that sums up every workday morning for me for the past 5 years.

http://www.garfield.com/comics/comics_a ... 5-ga850601

...God... and to think that I used to buy and read the early years of Garfield...

I will say, I loved the cartoon though. Garfield and friends was superb.
