Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
The longest-living cat ever verified was Creme Puff, a mixed tabby domestic cat who lived for 38 years and 3 days. Flossie, a cat born in 1995, is the current verified oldest living cat at 28 years old (as of June 2024).
Damn.
my cat's about to turn 16 and i dread the day he doesn't make it to being the next longest living cat.
Is there a c/imSorryJohn ?
It needs more content. The last post was 9 months ago.
I'll see what I can come up with. Maybe I'll post something.
Lemmy is littered with dead communities that were copied over from reddit a year ago or so.
I guess Jon dyes his roots.
So you're saying that John Dyes in the Ends?
Everybody Dyes in the Ends.
Seriously. :(
My cat is roughly 13 but I'm just lying to myself and saying she's immortal! She's been literally my only company for over a decade so when the inevitable happens it's definitely not going to be a fun time...
I call it The Price of Love.
I just realised that we are more worried about mortality of our loved ones than our own.
Makes sense. We won't be upset after we die.
Sometimes I remember that my cats won't be with me forever and I cry and cry and wipe my snotty face in their fur and yet they still love me. I've long decided a long time ago that I'm saving one of my cats ashes to mix with mine so we can be together again after I die. She's my soulmate.
In Jon's defense, HE doesn't appear to have aged, so why would he expect Garfield to?
Is there a dog skeleton around somewhere as well?
It's in the basement along the the skeletal remains of Lyman.
That's fucked up, Jon!
It's also perfectly possible Jon has acquired a new cat to replace the original, while keeping the name.
It's a bit weird, but I think it's a very Jon thing to do
I had a cat name ~~Snowball~~ Garfield, she died! She died!
Lyman said he was sleeping. He lied! He lied!
Not sure why SMBC keeps getting posted with the credit cut off: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/garfield
Especially when it's outside Zach's usual style. I read SMBC and I didn't recognize this as one of his.
🫡 thank you for posting the source
On another note Garfield as a comic strip needs to be retired. Every joke that can be done has been done. Let Garfield die already...
I don't think Garfield is a strip aimed at people who value originality.
It literally isn't. Jim Davis created it specifically to be predictable and safe, appealing to as wide an audience as possible. I don't fault him for it - it was a very successful tactic, and I liked it as a kid. But creative or groundbreaking art it ain't.
That said, it did spawn Garfield: His 9 Lives, which was anything but predicable and safe.
I have this book and Jesus Fuck that story is nightmare fuel.
Turns out I'm Sorry John was already official a decade before the internet!
Garfield die
Hahahaha!
Y'all have heard of r/imsorryjhon now get ready for c/imsorrygarfeild
I was not prepared to deal with this level of grief today...
TFW !greentext@sh.itjust.works is more uplifting/wholesome than !comicstrips@lemmy.world! Hahaha
It's not.
It's just reposting 4chan stuff. That post is fine, but look over the community and you'll find a lot of punching down and the odd dog whistle post.
Garfield may be dead, but he shall return.
This is sticking in my head much more than is comfortable. Fuck.
