Synopsis
Being Jim Davis is the world's premiere daily Garfield chrono-cast. Our mission is to review and discuss each and every strip of the long-running syndicated comic series before eventually dying of old age. We hope you'll come along with us on this journey, and share in the laughter as we catalogue the daily adventures of everyone's favorite indolent feline through a lens of history, humor, and heuristics.Each episode will be a thorough examination of a single strip. We'll place it in its historical context, then attempt to unravel the morals and meanings hidden under the surface. Finally, we'll consider the question of whether the strip stands the test of time. Above all, we promise to always present you with our sincere, personal, reaction to each Garfield comic strip.Our only thought is to entertain you.

I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” So the disciples did as Garfield had directed them and prepared the Passover. When evening came, Garfield was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?” Garfield replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Arbuckle will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Arbuckle!
