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. Originally published locally as Jon in 1976, then in nationwide syndication from 1978 as Garfield, it chronicles the life of the title character Garfield the cat, his human owner Jon Arbuckle, and Odie the dog. As of 2013, it was syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals and held the Guinness World Record for being the world's most widely syndicated comic strip...

I believe old mate Jim is referring to Venetian blinds, not that it makes the comic any funnier.
You’re probably right. But Venetian blinds don’t roll/flip like that.
That's the joke.
Erm, no wait, that's not the joke.
I guess Jim's just a dumbass.
Might be* a reference to the color of the tounge. 'Venetian Red' is a known and used color. Why that's funny I couldn't tell yah, but digging on Webster, this was what made the most sense.
*: Added on edit.
Maybe a reference to venetian blinds? I’m not an expert on blinds, but it Odie’s tongue seems to operate as I remember roller blinds to work..
Yeah, that's what I thought as well. I've seen a bunch of these old Garfield comics over the last few months, and I have to say most of them were pretty awful. Was Garfield really that bad? Growing up I only remember the cartoon and even that I couldn't tell you a single thing that actually happened at this point. I hope it was better, otherwise I have no idea how Garfield still exists today.
