I realize this thread/post is 3 years old, but I recently did almost this exact same thing on my blog and when I did an image search for “Garfield’s Thanksgiving”, this post came up. Good to know I’m 3 years behind.

Dude! Not only does Grandma = God, she reminds me so much of my grandmother it almost brings tears to my eyes every year! The only lesson to be learned here is that Grandma = God!

Matt, I think you’ve understated the importance of Garfield’s diet in the story. Liz puts Garfield on a diet THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING!

The reason Jon’s meal fails horribly, aside from Jon’s lousy cooking skills (he allows the turkey to thaw for a minute instead of 24 hours, as the cookbook instructs), is that Garfield sabotages the meal. He figures that if he can’t enjoy Thanksgiving, nobody can. Then Liz arrives and feels sorry for Garfield, so she takes him off the diet. Then, Garfield realizes that Thanksgiving needs to be saved, and he helps Jon realize that he needs to call Grandma.

I also had trouble deciding what the moral of this story was. Garfield helps to fix the dinner only after Liz allows him to eat: he is helpful only when it benefits himself to do so. And Liz let Garfield off his diet after she realized she’d rather see Garfield fat and happy than dieting and depressed. Is the lesson here to die happy?

Wow. That’s harsh! You basically just spit in God’s face, what with Grandma equating to God and all.

I remember reading the comics about that. Something about her still being able to feel his strong arm around her.
Oh grandma ;_;
