Wow I can believe I'm finally leaving a comment here. First, you guys rock, I love your comic, I have been reading it from a looong time, I deeply admire your drawings and techinques Yuko!

I'm from Argentina, and I'm a HUGE fan. I always find laughter and inspiration here!!!

Just wanted to write today because of this Garies thing...You know a while ago I was reading a blog I think where this t shirt appeared...and the comment suggested it was a made in China "Garfield t-shirt" gone wrong. I have been searching for that image again but no luck...is this right? This is so funny no matter what, but I'm still puzzled about this!

Thank you guys for all the happy moments I spend reading JW. Los quiero!!!

First off, long time fan from Austria. I just love your stories, so heartwarming. And Gonta... hahaha.

Now, about this Mr. Garies. I have never met this elusive gentleman nor does he want his existence achknowledged by Mr. google. So I'm at a loss. Help >.<

Best wishes to all, looking forward to the next one :-)

Honestly, I have no idea where this Garies fellow came from aside from his debut a few comics back, but this one was hilarious. I think you folks may have created a new meme by accident or something. Anyway, I had a good chuckle over this one for about five minutes. Fantastic, and creepy, especially those hilarious eye close ups in the last comic and below it in the news section.

Oh and since folks are adding their own quotes to the party; "Too many cooks spoil the Garies." :-p

Also there is apparently a book titled "The Garies and Their Friends," I'm assuming about plural Gary.

I Kissed a Garies and I liked It.

Unless Garies is a specific reference or product of/from something, I wonder if perhaps it was a custom uniform for some short-lived shop or storefront? Seems very backwoods icecream stand to me, based on the photo.

Look it up. I think we've got another "TFIA" going on here. No one knows what it means or where it came from, but it becomes something that everyone knows about.

(thanks to my 11th grade English teacher for that one) =)

...begins with a single Garies.

I honestly had forgotten about Garies. How selfish of me.

It won't stop looking at me. Those eyes.

WHAT IS A GARIES? A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS!

According to google and wikipedia, Garies is a small agricultural center in south africa and google images just shows a bunch of pictures of dirt and rocks. Maybe we aren't supposed to know what Garies is. Knowing may just ruin the mystique!

I am now and forever dead inside.... or until the next comic.

So, I looked at this at work and had to hold in the urge to laugh hysterically... I don't know why, but good old Garies makes me laugh so hard. I think it's the creepy, souless stare?

I COMMAND YOU. Shirt or death.

Ahhhh. We did this fill-in-the-blank assignment at school today, and I couldn't help but fill all of the blanks in with "GARIES" in my head. It was extremely difficult as well as hilarious...

"Energy released by the exergonic 'burning' of glucose in cellular respiration is used to make a substance called GARIES."

GOO' NIGHT EVERA BODEH!

I actually had a dream that was entirely Garies.

If I remember correctly, there was a comic on Questionable Content about replacing random words in a proverb with "lion". For example: Don't count your lions before they hatch. Don't look a gift lion in the mouth. A lion in the hand is worth two in the bush. All sorts of things that make very little sense and are frightening to picture.

I guess it's a somewhat round-about way of saying it, but what I am trying to get across here is that I am absolutely terrified of lions. And bushes, apparently.

Great comic.

IT STAAAAAAAAARES. D:
