Hey regular listener, did it bother you a little bit yesterday when we talked about Garfield's butthole? It seemed crass and excessive, right? Well, today we double down with an extended discussion of Garfield's feces. Also, hilarity ensues with the addition of our new hit character, "Russian Garfield."Oh, and Lyman makes his first appearance.

Episode 50 - Monday, August 7, 1978

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.
