Garfield apologizes

Just another "day in the neighborhood" of the liberal America hating left. This certainly isn't the Mr. Roger's neighborhood of old. This is the new hood of the liberal elite and their chic humor.

"Garfield" creator apologizes for Veterans Day strip

The creator of the widely syndicated comic "Garfield" has apologized for a strip that ran on Veterans Day that some critics saw as making fun of the holiday honoring those who served in the U.S. military.
Thursday's strip showed a spider warning the comic's featured cat, the lazy and overweight Garfield, that if the feline "squishes" him, an annual day of remembrance will be held in his honor.
Garfield, who frequently crushes spiders in the series, apparently is undeterred and the strip closes with a classroom of spiders being asked why they celebrate "National Stupid Day."
The cartoon drew such Internet comments as "Surely this isn't in the best of taste for Armistice Day/Veterans Day" and that Garfield creator Jim Davis "is way off the mark with this cartoon. Shame on him."
Although some others said they doubted creator had such intentions or that they didn't read the strip the way the critics did, Davis issued a statement apologizing.
"Please accept my apologies for any offense today's Garfield may have created. It was unintentional and regrettable," the statement said.

Apparently no one was laughing yesterday. So I wonder.....if Jim Davis will be seeking counsel now from the likes of Al Franken. (another comic genius.)

"Please accept my apologies for any offense today's Garfield may have created. It was unintentional and regrettable," the statement said.

Maybe one day when Jim Davis is squished by some socialist fat cat? Someone will name a day after him.
