Everyone Loves Garfield Moments | Laughing Without Liquor

Laughing Without Liquor

Hey there, Garfield aficionados and chuckle champions! Today, we’re celebrating the lasagna-loving feline who has been keeping us in stitches since 1978. Prepare for a trip down memory lane with 11 excellent columns or Garfield moments that have tickled everyone’s funny bones for decades.

#1 Garfield’s Debut

The very first strip is from June 19, 1978, where we meet the sassiest cat and his hapless owner, Jon. But his first animation happened in 1980.

#2 Garfield Loses Weight

The series in which Garfield goes on a diet could be a mirror to anyone who’s ever tried to cut back on the booze or lasagna.

#3 Pooky’s Introduction

When Garfield found his beloved teddy bear, Pooky, it was a reminder that even the coolest cats need a cuddle buddy.

#4 Garfield’s Halloween Adventure

Garfield goes trick-or-treating and encounters real ghosts, proving that life’s spooky enough without a spiked punch.

#5 Garfield Gets Stuck in a Blinds

Those strips where Garfield would get himself hilariously tangled in window blinds, just like we sometimes get tangled in those adult responsibilities.

#6 Jon’s Dating Failures

Any strip where Jon tries (and hilariously fails) to impress a date is a sobering reminder that love can be both blind and blundering.

#8 Garfield’s Christmas

The Christmas comics are heartwarming and humorous, highlighting that the best gifts really aren’t found at the bottom of a glass.

#9 Nermal the ‘World’s Cutest Kitten’

Whenever Nermal shows up to flaunt his cuteness, Garfield’s reactions are priceless – and relatable to anyone with a pesky younger sibling.

#10 Jon’s Bachelor Cooking

Those strips where Jon attempts to cook are a hoot, especially when Garfield provides his ‘constructive’ criticism.

#11 Garfield Sleeps In

Every strip that starts with Garfield refusing to get out of bed speaks to the soul of every adult who cherishes their sleep (especially when there’s no hangover involved).

And don’t forget to snag our book, “Laughing Without Liquor: A Woman’s Guide to Living It Up Without the Booze,” for more laughs and tales from the sober side.

On a personal note, I’ve always admired Garfield’s ability to find joy in the simple things – like a good meal and a long nap. It reminds me of the joys I’ve found in sober living, minus the lasagna addiction (well, for now).

And here’s a little joke to end on a high: Why did Garfield take up meditation? To find his inner peas… because, you know, he won’t eat them!

Keep on laughing, living, and loving the sober life, my friends! Until next time, keep those Mondays at bay and your spirits high – without the spirits! 🎙️😹🚫🍷


A woman’s guide to living it up without the booze
