Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This is sticking in my head much more than is comfortable. Fuck.
Garfield may be dead, but he shall return.
I was not prepared to deal with this level of grief today...
Not sure why SMBC keeps getting posted with the credit cut off: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/garfield
🫡 thank you for posting the source
Especially when it's outside Zach's usual style. I read SMBC and I didn't recognize this as one of his.
Y'all have heard of r/imsorryjhon now get ready for c/imsorrygarfeild
In Jon's defense, HE doesn't appear to have aged, so why would he expect Garfield to?
Is there a dog skeleton around somewhere as well?
It's in the basement along the the skeletal remains of Lyman.
That's fucked up, Jon!
Seriously. :(
My cat is roughly 13 but I'm just lying to myself and saying she's immortal! She's been literally my only company for over a decade so when the inevitable happens it's definitely not going to be a fun time...
Sometimes I remember that my cats won't be with me forever and I cry and cry and wipe my snotty face in their fur and yet they still love me. I've long decided a long time ago that I'm saving one of my cats ashes to mix with mine so we can be together again after I die. She's my soulmate.
I call it The Price of Love.
I just realised that we are more worried about mortality of our loved ones than our own.
Makes sense. We won't be upset after we die.
It's also perfectly possible Jon has acquired a new cat to replace the original, while keeping the name.
It's a bit weird, but I think it's a very Jon thing to do
I had a cat name ~~Snowball~~ Garfield, she died! She died!
Lyman said he was sleeping. He lied! He lied!
The longest-living cat ever verified was Creme Puff, a mixed tabby domestic cat who lived for 38 years and 3 days. Flossie, a cat born in 1995, is the current verified oldest living cat at 28 years old (as of June 2024).
Damn.
my cat's about to turn 16 and i dread the day he doesn't make it to being the next longest living cat.
On another note Garfield as a comic strip needs to be retired. Every joke that can be done has been done. Let Garfield die already...
I don't think Garfield is a strip aimed at people who value originality.
It literally isn't. Jim Davis created it specifically to be predictable and safe, appealing to as wide an audience as possible. I don't fault him for it - it was a very successful tactic, and I liked it as a kid. But creative or groundbreaking art it ain't.
That said, it did spawn Garfield: His 9 Lives, which was anything but predicable and safe.
I have this book and Jesus Fuck that story is nightmare fuel.
Turns out I'm Sorry John was already official a decade before the internet!
Garfield die
Hahahaha!
Is there a c/imSorryJohn ?
Yup.
It needs more content. The last post was 9 months ago.
I'll see what I can come up with. Maybe I'll post something.
Lemmy is littered with dead communities that were copied over from reddit a year ago or so.
TFW [email protected] is more uplifting/wholesome than [email protected]! Hahaha
It's not.
It's just reposting 4chan stuff. That post is fine, but look over the community and you'll find a lot of punching down and the odd dog whistle post.
I guess Jon dyes his roots.
So you're saying that John Dyes in the Ends?
Everybody Dyes in the Ends.
