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.

Episode 1076 - Friday, May 29, 1981
09/08/2019 Duration: 25minIt's often been suggested by certain naysayers of this podcast that we frequently forget to post the correct strip links for our 1075th ever episode which is for May 28th, 1981, but being that this is not the 1075th episode for May 28th, 1981, but rather the 1076th episode for May 29th, 1981, there is no way for you to confirm this slander, so you begin to doubt it. Soon this doubt consumes your entire being. You question everything, including your own name. You eventually lose all grip on reality, and the odd familiarily of the strip linked to in today's episode, which to recap is episode 1076 for May 29th, 1981 is nothing more than an odd curiosity. What the fuck, odd curiosity??? Your hosts for today's episode: Jon Gibson, Ryan Pfeiffer Today's strip Become a Patron!

Episode 1074 - Wednesday, May 27, 1981
07/08/2019 Duration: 26minLook, sometimes you're really excited to being recording your daily Garfield podcast. Maybe a little TOO excited, if we're being honest. And that palpable excitement is bearing down on your mind like a runaway freight train as you fire up your computer, open up Zoom, and plug in your audio mixer, start googling members of the Reagan cabinet, you know, all the things people do to get ready to read Garfield. But you're a pro, so you don't get distracted. You plug all the right cords in, on both ends even! You even tap on the microphone and clearly hear the tapping sound on your monitor. So you think, hey, I can hear that, and assume everything's good. Like, shouldn't that be enough? At long last, senator, shouldn't that fucking be enough? Yes, I do believe that should fucking be enough. And so it's a complete and total fucking surprise when you realize your dumbfuck digital audio workstation randomly decided to use the built-in microphone as the input to record from rather than the perfectly fucking good, perfe

Episode 1073 - Tuesday, May 26, 1981
06/08/2019 Duration: 17minSure, there are those who don't ascribe to the notion that this podcast is a perfect and contingent fact about the universe. There may even be those who dare make the outlandish claim that one of this show's hosts forgot to make sure that their laptop was actually recording audio from their mid-range condenser microphone instead of the shitty built-mic for the entire recording session. Well, to those naysayers we proclaim, proudly, "La la la la, we can't hear you!" Your hosts for today's episode: Jon Gibson, Ryan Pfeiffer Today's strip Become a Patron!
