It's a well-known fact that Garfield hates Mondays.
I hate Mondays, too. I, however, work a desk job.
It occurred to me during the normal mid-morning job-ruing that, as a common house cat, Garfield has absolutely no reason to hate Mondays. A day is a day is a day - that is, an opportunity to nap, eat lasagna, and get into hijinx with his wacky owner Jon (mostly involving napping and eating). The hatred of Mondays, obviously, is Jim Davis strategically giving Garfield a character trait that lets him identify with the white-collar working force as much as the younger age bracket that would more typically be interested in the funny pages: more office personnel would then be able to buy Garfield merchandise to express their dislike of the first of the week.
I hate Garfield.
