Here’s me making it even more abundantly clear that Bruno’s aunt and uncle do not like or trust her, and so putting Bruno in charge becomes a set up for conflict. Plus, a good chance for cat to deliver one of his dry one-liners.

I will unashamedly say that I loved Garfield as a kid. And also, by the time I wrote “Bruno,” I enjoyed mocking Garfield for it’s very few jokes it repeated over and over. In life, we change.
I don’t think i was trying to express that dieting is flat-out bad (I’ve been on diets myself), only that there’s a certain level of hedonism which should be considered and allowed. Or else what’s the point?
My birthdays back then were kinda sad and lonely. I was never very good at organizing a party. And I expressed the isolation in the strip, but I don’t believe I was drunk and half-passed out on the floor. Well, not on my brithday anyway.
It’s a tough line to walk. It’s far to easy to sleepwalk through life, but I’ve never known over-intellectualizing to make anyone happy. But, at the time, I was going the over-intellectualizing route. Now, balance perhaps.
Cat’s mug reads, “Newt For President. Awake now?
Ah cats. Always fun. And swayed by treats. :)
It always makes me laugh when emotional or romantic moments are interrupted by things which end up seeming ridiculously out of place: cars honking, knocking over a box of cereal, fire alarms. In this instance, it’s also gross because cats are simply cats.
This is one of the few (only?) times I broke the fourth wall in the strip (except some early strips which got pulled or revised). But it was time to move the strip along, breakup depression begone!
Cat’s the line that cracks me up though. :)
Leo Buscaglia, professor at the University of South California, is known for his “Love 1A” course and book “Love” and for giving hugs to anyone who wanted one after each lesson.
This always both intrigued and weirded me out. Which means, it fascinated me.
In my actual reality (not as much in my head), I remember the book being a decent read.
Meanness following meanness is never a cycle I like, but it is common, and I can’t even say i am exempt from sometimes following it. Not that I feel sorry for Clark either. I’m glad, at least, that Bruno isn’t feeling celebratory about the whole thing.
