Heh. Now THAT'S funny.

Actually, it's not. It's pretty depressing, because it makes me realize that a character I grew up with has been dead/starving to death since before I could read.

(Depending on how you look at it.)

How horribly does it date me to say I remember those?

One of the few times Garfield took a serious turn.

Garfield has been dead for quite some time. They're just rerunning the comics with slightly different dialogue and different time stamp.

Nope, they had an actual storyline a couple of weeks back.

Now they're back to rerunning though.

Yeah, I remember reading one of the books with those in it back when i was 7; confused the hell out of me both then and now. Tho I've always thought Garfield was a tad bit smarter then people give it credit for.

There's only a certain number of times we can laugh when Garfield stomps on a spider

I've seen discussion on this story arc before, and it's almost always been concluded that he is not in fact starving but merely imagining the whole thing.
