A Very Garies Christmas

garies proverbs

So we try to keep these Garies comics to a minimum because they are maybe a little too inside jokey, not to mention vague, weird, and creepy - but it's Halloween and that suits the holiday just fine. Today is Garies Proverbs - there will possibly be one more Garies comic on Tuesday, but that may change.

We may or may not be at a certain event in DC this coming Saturday.

George is visiting us for a little while! You'll remember him from some past comics. He got to NYC and he's already got a quest.

There are a few Beach Sets left in the store, and then they're gone forever!

Everyone - have a rad Halloween!

Those poor birds. That panel actually made me laugh aloud. The last panel is funny to say but creepy to actually see.

"they are maybe a little too inside jokey" ---> I cannot describe the funny that comes out of GARIES but it is pure and distilled humour at its finest EVEN TO OUTSIDERS SUCH AS MYSELF

I love GARIES! I, like almost everyone else, have no idea what it's all about, but I really like it! If you explain it, that'd be fun, but I almost would rather leave it a mystery! It's an in-joke to you guys, but it has now become something else entirely. I got the reference without having to re-read the original strip, and that's really all I need.

Personally, I just like seeing that creepy Garfield-esque face. Gets me every time.

My thoughts exactly.

We're sorry but your Garies is in another castle.

Curiosity killed the Garies.

With great power comes great Garies.

A rolling stone gathers no Garies.

To err is human, to forgive is Garies.

It that a Garies in your pocket, or are you just Garies to Garies Garies?

Children should be seldom seen and never Garies.

Bite the hand that Garies.

A penny for your Garies?

A Garies saved is a Garies earned.

Let sleeping Garies lie.

A Garies in the hand is worth two in the Garies.

Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the Garies.

When life gives you Garies, make lemonade.

Gariesade.

Life has its ups and garies

Garies is as garies does

If a garies falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a garies?

How about movie quotes?

The garies is strong with this one... - Star Wars

I drink your garies! I drink it up! - There Will Be Blood

What sick man sends Garies to fight me?

A bird in the hand is worth two in the Garies.

Fish and Garies stink in three days.

I love these. The first comic was context enough, maybe because I would have reacted to such an epic discovery in the same way.

<3 Pearls before Garies
<3 <3 <3 Two birds with one Garies

Nooo, keep up with the Garies comics, Garies is super fantastic, I wish I had Garies right next to me now, to caress, to love, to keep a watchfull eye on, just to have Garies around me all the time. I would be proud and caring. Garies... Garies... Garies, taste it, just let the letters smoothly wander across your tounge, gently tickling your palate, Garies... Garies... Garies.

So yeah, more Garies please.

Absence makes the heart grow Garies
Speak softly and carry a large Garies
Big Garies is watching you
How many Garies must a man walk down?
Bros before Garies
A Garies in the hand is worth two in the Garies
Do as Garies say, not as Garies do
If God meant us to fly he would have given us Garies
If you can't stand the Garies, get out of the kitchen
Better the Garies you know than the Garies you don't
Two wrongs don't make a Garies

And I leave you with a quote:
"A little Garies is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal." Oscar Garies

I don't know if Garies is actually an inside joke. I mean, it would involve anyone having any idea of what "Garies" really is.

I kind of wonder if Garies was an attempt to profit off of selling t-shirts to illiterate Garfield fans.

Is there something you guys haven't told us? Have you unraveled the mystery of Garies? If so, you should seriously clue us in.

bah, I should have planned to go to the rally D:

(reply to this comment)

Yay! See you guys at the Rally (well, probably not - it sounds like it's going to be pretty huge)!

Also: Successfully weirded out by the Garies

(reply to this comment)

is the scariest Garies of all Garies!!!
It's Garies inside Garies inside Garies, and it's feeling the Garies inside Garies.
It's Multibrot Garies!!!

(reply to this comment)

So I just imagine that comic strip, Pearls before Swine, with every character's face replaced by Garies.

(reply to this comment)

What do you mean, everyone Garies? If everyone jumped off a Garies, would you jump too?

=P

(reply to this comment)

Congrats on 200 strips, guys! Awesome as ever.

(reply to this comment)

On top of spaghetti, all covered with Garies....

(reply to this comment)

Put your Garies where your mouth is.
... Oh god.

(reply to this comment)

Garies is the new lions.

(reply to this comment)

Oh man, come to the rally! That would be so awesome.

(reply to this comment)

You should post a picture of this Garies shirt, so we, as readers, have a better idea of what magical, mystical powers this Garies has.

(reply to this comment)

I fucking love these Garies comics. You don't need more of an explanation; the soul crushing power of that gaze is enough.

But then again, vague weird and creepy happens to be my middle name. The doctors thought it would be a little too long for the certificate, but my parents insisted.

(reply to this comment)

(reply to this comment)

Oh god you guys, what have you done.

(reply to this comment)

a garies in the hand is better than two in the bush

(reply to this comment)

Because at least then the garies can't sneak up on you.

(reply to this comment)

The Garies can always sneak up on you

I want a Gary for my mantle!
