Garfield's 75th Birthday

Made by: NES Boy


Explanation[edit | edit source]

This is a Garfield in 2053 strip theoretically published on June 19 (Garfield's birthday) - as the author implies, 2053 will have been 75 years since Garfield debuted, and a birthday strip (a longstanding Garfield tradition) would never be an exception.

While this strip itself can be considered just as rooted in hypotheticals as any other Garfield in 2053 strip is, provided the current calendar systems are still in use come 2053, this strip does get its use of weekday format correct; June 19, 2053 is a Thursday in the Gregorian calendar.

The author writes[edit | edit source]

With a milestone like this falling in 2053, how half-assed could it possibly be?

Original strips: 2013-01-17, 2003-06-19, 1989-06-19.
