Hello fellow Garfield fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis. Originally published locally as Jon in 1976, then in nationwide syndication from 1978 as Garfield, it chronicles the life of the title character Garfield the cat, his human owner Jon Arbuckle, and Odie the dog. As of 2013, it was syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals and held the Guinness World Record for being the world's most widely syndicated comic strip...

Usually Garf's stoic during these pickup attempts, but here he's like LMAO gottem.

btw do we know if Garf's been... uh... unixed?

Well he is overweight and never shown prowling...even hates the cutest cat (kitten?) though now that I google I see Nermal was male, huh. So maybe? I always thought Nermal was female from the cartoon, but young voices and all.

Through a bit of googling, canonically Garfield is male and eventually has a girlfriend. But no word on the nads.
