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.

Strip by: Andrew Kepple

Jon: {tossing a banana onto the bench in front of Garfield} Happy diet, Garfield. Here's a banana for breakfast.

{Jon at the computer, typing}

Text: 'Sup Tumblr, my cat is now 100% vegan! U mad?

Jon: {facing Garfield} My blog is getting edgier!

The author writes:

Promoting feeding cats a vegan diet is an effective way to gain attention and notoriety on Tumblr.

Note: The submitter of this SRoMG strip does not support the (eventually) lethal practice of enforcing a vegan diet on obligate carnivores. Jon really is a cruel, cruel man.

Original strips: 1983-08-17, 2010-04-22.

Vegan diets for cats can be very dangerous without the proper supplements and veterinary supervision.
