Garfield is set in Muncie, IN and Jon Arbuckle comes from a farming family he occasionally visits and he brings Garfield and Odie with him.

Tell me about that bitch Cathy, your cat telepathically transmits, staring unblinkingly at you. Go ahead and vent, that's why I'm here.

"Cathy is not a bitch," you say with a sigh. You appreciate your cat's attempts to commiserate, but he was always a terrible misogynist. "She's still trying to bounce back from her miscarriage. And her husband left her."

poo poo, that means she's single, your cat's mind vibrates to you. You could probably get a piece of that real easy. Why don't you sidle up and start licking the back of her head? Maybe latch your jaws around her neck?

"I'm getting really tired of you, cat."

You got tired of me years ago, your cat trills deep in your mind. That's why you held me down in a tub after I knocked over your lasagna. At first it was to get the sauce out of my fur. Then it was to get revenge for the claw-marks on your arm. Then it was because you liked seeing the bubbles escape my mouth. And then the bubbles stopped.

"That didn't happen," you say, sweat running down your forehead. "God drat you, I'd never do such a thing. Never!"

Your cat licks his paw and smooths back the fur on his head. The scars on your arm don't lie. That little bare mound of dirt in the backyard doesn't lie either.

"Every loving night you do this," you hiss. You take a step toward the cat as he stares unblinking, unmoving. "You always, always antagonize me, and then you remind me of things that didn't happen. Why don't you loving leave me alone already?"

You know I'd never leave you. Your cat's voice in your mind is like nails on a chalkboard, but unnaturally warped and rippling. You stumble. Christ, not the headache again. Not that god damned headache...

The same headache you had when you invited Cathy over for drinks after work? When I suggested you take her to the backyard to see the moon? It's awfully quiet out there. And lonely, too. With that tall fence around, people never saw what happened. And now there's a larger mound next to mine, just as bare and forlorn. And nobody will ever find it, because you are just that lonely and uninteresting. You weren't even suspected.

Rage flows through your veins, hot and red and viscous, and for a moment -- just a moment -- you feel alive. You feel real. You feel whole. You wrap trembling hands about the cat's neck and squeeze, and squeeze, and squeeze-

Your eyes open, and you sit up with a sharp gasp. You run your hands through your hair and shake your head. Why do you keep having this dream? You take a drink from the open bottle of vodka on the table and shake your head as the dream -- the horrible, terrible, beautiful dream -- begins to dissolve like mist on a spring morning. You reach down and idly pet your cat's head as it comes up purring, and you heave yourself out of bed.

Another day at work, another day of listening to Cathy whine about her loving miscarriage. But that's fine, because she's still pretty good-looking, and she obviously likes you, and she'd probably be up to hanging out for a drink or two. Maybe she'd even like to come out to look at the moon for a little while. You absentmindedly reach down to pet your cat at the thought, but you don't feel anything.

Your cat's gone. That's strange.

You take another drink. Popov takes like stale kerosene, but it makes the morning bearable.

Time to get ready for another day of cartooning.

One of these days I need to post some Footrot Flats in here, a New Zealand comic strip about a dog (known as The Dog) and his farmer. It's got really nice art.

Footrot Flats is cool and good, and The Dog is a good dog.

He has like 5 people working under him doing the comics now. None can tell the apocrypha from the authentic anymore.

Sometime in the future it will be like when fans realized why some of the Donald duck comics were better than others: It was the good artist, Carl Barks. Except with all the cut & paste, identifying the funny Garfields comes up to word frequencies and timeframes (this one can't be by Author B because he was most likely on vacation at the time).

At no point will the actual humor be considered.
