Serious Question - Why Does Garfield Hate Mondays So Much?

Discussion

So I was rewatching The Garfield Show, and it got me to question why the hell is that damn cat complaining about Mondays so damn much. Like he has no job, he doesn't go to school or do anything on Monday that is really of note. Like most people, hate Mondays because school or work usually starts, however he is a cat who is feed by his enabler Jon on various Italian dishes. He's a cat he pretty much just sleeps, shits, does cat stuff that's it. I know this is kind of a weird ass question.

quote from the article:
I have always wondered why Garfield hates Mondays when every day is pretty much the same for him, but Davis had the answer. “Garfield does not have a job, Garfield does not go to school and every day is the same. Nevertheless every Monday is just a reminder that his life is the same old, same old cycling again and for some reason even though his life is pretty much the same every day on Mondays specifically, awful things tend to happen to him physically.”

Thank you, that article was lacked and I didn't have that plugin installed.

something bad always happens to him onn a monday. read the comics for proof

I figured it was because Jon goes to work on mondays, and that means Garfield is all alone, maybe he gets lonely…

Garfield likes to be alone or at least not have Jon around, if you have ever watched The 2008 Garfield Show, he gets excited when Jon is gone.

I always thought it was because Sunday ends

Oh, I just realised it’s because Monday left him broken. Why, he's a cat he just sleeps and eats, that's pretty much it any day of the week.

Random bad things happen to him on Mondays. Like really bad things

I got farther into the masterpiece known as the 2008 Garfield Show and I see why, Garfield got a fucking tank on him on a Monday for what, just trying to screw with the post man, god-damn.
