5851: Even the Weather
Even the Weather |

Explanation[edit | edit source]
In this strip, Jon blames Garfield for everything, even recalling a past moment where Garfield sarcastically suggests that the tide coming in whenever Jon visits the beach is proof that it’s National Fat Week. Back in the present, Jon sighs, “Even the weather,” to which Garfield smugly responds, “Perfect”.
The humor comes from Garfield’s exaggerated self-importance, he’s not just responsible for Jon’s misfortunes, but apparently even the forces of nature. The author notes that they were inspired by a strip from September 21, 2005, and saw an opportunity to blame Garfield for the weather
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
When I read 2005-09-21, I knew it would be possible to blame Garfield for the weather somehow.
Original strips: 1980-09-07, 2005-09-21.
