        The problem with CPI inflation calculators is they don’t reflect real costs. The real cost of getting a 4x photo taken at those fun photos booths is ~20$ for the ones I’ve seen.

        So no, I do not mean 4x. I mean 40x.

          That’s exactly what CPI is based on, it’s just that it’s the average of everything someone would generally buy, so things like food and technology that haven’t experienced as much inflation weigh the average down.

    I like the different color background in each photo.

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… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garfield
