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 560 - Sunday, December 30, 1979
11/03/2018 Duration: 35minIt’s another Garfield! But we didn't really talk about that; we mostly just argued about classical music. Today we say goodbye to guest host Nathan Vader Wyse (no, no we don't. We forgot to do that. Sorry). Nathan was a great addition to the show and you should go bother him on twitter. While you're at it, see if you can convince him to start doing that kickass tumblr of his again. Original piano version of this strip Ravel's orchestration of today's strip Prog-rock cover of today's strip by ELP Tomita's spacey electropop cover of today's strip Bolero sucks.

10/03/2018 Duration: 15minSuper fucked up that Jim Davis waited this long to bring back Lyman and then gave him BASICALLY NO AGENCY. He might as well be a piece of furniture for all he gets to do here. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. Hosts: Christopher Winter, Jon Gibson, Nathan Vader Wyse Today's strip Check out our: Website!

09/03/2018 Duration: 16minIt’s a goddamn Garfield! At one point in today's episode I reference David Brooks's boner. I'd like to apologize for this crude and vulgar mistake. It was Chris Matthews' boner that I was thinking of. Sorry. Hosts: Christopher Winter, Jon Gibson, Nathan Vader Wyse Today's strip Check out our: Website! (You can do things there) Twitter!

Episode 556 - Wednesday, December 26, 1979
07/03/2018 Duration: 11minIt’s a Garfield! Also, and I do not state this often enough given the impending advent of a new and terrifying decade, one of the very last days of an engorged and sickly 1970s, ravaged and pockmarked by the capricious vicissitudes of time, gasping for air in an anonymous bed in a forgotten wing of a secluded asylum, naked and perversely incognizant of its own foul decay. The grim drumbeat of senescence pounds ever onward. Hosts: Christopher Winter, Jon Gibson, Nathan Vader Wyse Today's strip Check out our: Website! (You can do things there) Twitter!
