Jon: What?! Where?!

Jon: He did it again

1979-09-02

Jon: Oh, Garfield

Jon: We're going on a trip, Garfield. So just hop into your new kitty carrier here

Garfield: OH-NO!

Garfield: Not THE BOX!!!

Jon: Let me put it to you this way. Before we go on the trip, one of us is going to have to get into this kitty carrier

Garfield: Well why didn't you say so?

(scuffle, scuffle, struggle, grab! stuff, stuff)

Jon: Guess what, Garfield? While mom and dad're on a week's vacation, we're going to baby-sit for their kitten

Jon: Meet Nermal

Garfield: Wake me in a week

1979-09-04

Garfield: I gotta spend a week wet-nursing Nermal, here... he's cute

Garfield: And I hate “cute”

Nermal: Don't knock it, Jack. I make a killing posing for greeting cards

1979-09-05

Garfield: Okay, Nermal. There's a dog. Kill!

Garfield: Oh, Nermal. Nermal, Nermal, Nermal

1979-09-06

Garfield: CRUD!

Garfield: Nermal shed all over my food

Garfield: I can't stand cat hairs unless they're my own

1979-09-07

Jon: Take those roller skates off, Garfield. You look ridiculous

1979-09-08

Jon: Nermal's leaving now. Wave bye-bye, Garfield

Garfield: I kind of liked the little feller

Garfield: The way I like intestinal flu

1979-09-09

Garfield: (sploosh!)

Garfield: Oh-no! A vicious undertow is dragging me out to sea!

Garfield: I'M TOO YOUNG TO GO!

Garfield: I can see the headlines now... “World famous cat lost at sea. Millions of beautiful girl cats grief-stricken!”

Garfield: I can't make it! I'm going down for the third time!

Jon: I'd save you, Garfield. But I'm not about to give a cat mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

1979-09-10

Garfield: (YAWN)

Garfield: Oh, this looks like a nice place to sleep

Jon: If you don't mind, Garfield...

1979-09-11

Garfield: SACK! PILLAGE! MAIM! DESTROY!

Garfield: (bonk!)

Garfield: Whimper. Limp. Cry. Hurt...

1979-09-12

Jon: It's time to put your leash on for a nice walk

Jon: Oh come on, Garfield. It's not that bad

1979-09-13

Jon: I know you don't like your leash, Garfield. But people are staring

Jon: So cut that out

1979-09-14

Jon: Odie, you know better than that

Jon: Do you know what I appreciate about you most, Garfield

Garfield: I'm housebroken

Jon: You're housebroken

1979-09-15

Garfield: Some people say pets are not clean

Garfield: That may be so

Garfield: But try eating your next meal without your hands and see how well you fare

1979-09-16

Garfield: (smack, munch, slurp)

Jon: (click)

Garfield: (zzz)

Garfield: (zzz)

Jon: I didn't know cats could eat in their sleep

Jon: But I do know they can't sharpen their claws in their sleep

Garfield: I shouldn't have pushed it
