Garfield is usually at its worst on Mondays, because, as we all know, Garfield hates Mondays. I share the cat's opinion, but really, the day is rough enough without having to hear him bitch about it. Today Jim Davis opted not to make the "Monday" joke for the zillionth time; he no doubt spent the day swollen with pride at having taken the "high road." Things start off well enough with the sight gag in the second panel (I kind of like the deranged lunatic thing Jon has going on), but then the strip goes and spoils any good will it may have created. Just thinking about a Garfield blog started to piss me off. "A mouse scared Jon today. I love lasagna. I hate Nermal. I hate Mondays." Ad nauseum. If Garfield had his own blog, it would suck worse than this one. Though it probably wouldn't be as ugly.

i actually like to think garfield's blog is about how much he hates mondays, and jim davis was [for once] trying to be more subtle in his scathing decades long attack on this day of the week that has gotten such a bad rap. this mondays blog entry: if jon thinks im catching that mouse, he is sadly mistaken. especially on a monday.
