Hello fellow Garfield fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis.

The author writes:

The easiest way to see the output of this script is to use codepad.org.

Or you can also paste it into a text file and run it from a Unix terminal. I also attached a little screen capture of the output (zoomed out so the effect shows up better).

I could give you a detailed spoiler of why it works, but then it wouldn't be obfuscated, would it? ;)
