Garfield by Jim Davis for March 23, 2025

Jon was probably the flower in a spring play

I literally commented that “the allergies are kicking in” in the previous strip. Coincidence?

I’m surprised nobody has still pointed and laughed at Jon over his outfit after all these years.

Hello, Mr. Sunshine

At least Jon isn’t morris dancing, yet.

Y’all laugh at Jon and rightfully so. If he bopped around my living room in that getup, I’d pitch him out the bay window. But you kind of have to admire a guy who does what he wants and doesn’t give a rat’s backside as to what the world thinks

I’ll take him over the sinus headache I’ve had for 3 weeks now.

Jon looks ridiculous with that outift

Now that plant needs potting. Or better yet. Run over with a mower.

That’s embarrassing. Even for Jon.

Garfield what’s is even your favorite season

the daffy-dills are in bloom once more

Ah Jon’s annual “Rite of the daisy”! He even made Garfield and Odie join in once (April 14, 1996)

Spring exploded into action overnight where I am.

Jon is the flower of his family. He’s a blooming idiot.

Quick, somebody call the guys with the butterfly nets!

Ah, I see people criticizing Jon’s choices, and I see where their opinions come from, but you must admit that what I’m about to say is justified: hubba hubba!

Jon’s a real man’s man.Right.

I haven’t seen that costume for about like years or something

It is better to have an allergy rather than suffer public embarrassment.

For me, it’s the outdoor garden chores.

Just the burn the costume already, you stupid cat!!

I really hope he’s not wearing the same costume from the 90s…

Could not agree more with Garfield’s assessment of Spring. The title panel set it all, boy howdy>

I’m not allergic to pollen, but I hate how it looks on my dark blue car

The Count totally agrees with Garfield. Spring is three months of M**days. Winter, Fall, Summer, Mud.

Next on Batman 66: enter the flower man.

I just thought of Will Smith in that graduation episode of Fresh Prince where they did the song You Are My Sunshine.

phhpht. Jon got me in this one XD

Where’s the roid rage mime from the May 1, 1994 strip when you need him?

Jon is the Monty Python character of comics.

You really are an embarrassment to nature, Jon. No wonder a lot of people regard you as a dweeb and a loser.

maybe he’ll get stuck and you might be able to put him in a pot and put him somewhere where he’d only be able to work on making you food. ;)

Yep, that would do it. But wouldn’t spring be a Mrs rather than a Mr? “La primavera” (Spanish for “spring”) is feminine.

JON GOT HIS FLOWER COSTUME BACK!

A wonderful interpretive dance… and we are interpreting Jon as a dingbat.

Jon is very happy to see that spring has sprung!

Jon is just expressing himself… living his best life….

Games

Has Liz seen this tradition? Maybe she has, and is hiding until it’s over.

Over at FoxTrot Classics right now, Peter has to wear a Garfield costume for his job at the movie theater, promoting the 2004 Garfield Movie.

Jon should do a pas de deux with Snoopy.

I’d call the local mental hospital; but they don’t take hopeless cases.

That’s what some people would see in their bad dreams.

Why is Garfield bent over like an old man? Or like he hurt his back?

his mister springtime dance is backi also have pollen allergies

A true Flower Child.

it may be spring but Jon would freeze his petals off here, it’s snowing

Weird

way to keep up with continuity Jim

In a very early strip, about 1979, Garfield says that he likes spring.

“Hey! Who’s that guy in the sprout costume?”

T.B.A.R. (That Boy Ain’t Right.)

But, we knew that already, didn’t we?

Oh geez, I remember that costume!

LOL :)

Somebody, please explain, how does Jon have a real girlfriend?

Ahhh, Jon, you never cease to disappoint. XD

Go bury the costume again…

Ah the annual Arbuckle spring dance

Jon’s Dance to Spring. Inspired by Jules Feiffer.

I am genuinely impress that this is STILL a running gag

is Jon a Peter Gabriel era Genesis fan?

I wonder if weedkiller would work.
