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...

Improved transcript:
Panel 1: Jon is holding out a chicken leg with a condescending expression while Garfield observes stoically. Jon says: "Come on, kitty. Sing your song."
Panel 2: Jon looks on dumbfounded while Garfield leaps up and becomes a whirling storm of claws and teeth around Jon's still-outstretched arm.
Panel 3: the chicken leg is now a mere bone, and Jon's hand is scratched and bruised, his shirt-sleeve torn to the elbow. Jon stares at it traumatized as Garfield walks away, mouth full, thinking: "Doo-da, doo-da".
Commentary:
Let us all attend to this useful instruction. idk wtf Jon was expecting. that Garf would meow or something? maybe it woulda been funny if Garf had done a little tap dance or something but Garf doesn't play that. In general I haven't known a lot of cats who beg for their food, and I suspect they don't enjoy it in the same way that dogs seem to.
