Fw: This one is a KEEPER ! ! ! !

It's Garfield. Telling us to drill for oil in Pennsylvania. Hmm...
So this reminded me of a book I just finished called
The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century by my favorite critic of suburban architecture, James Howard Kunstler. In this fascinatingly disturbing end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it reference, he described an imminent, drastically larger oil crisis requiring much grander actions than our pal Garfield here wants us to believe. (You might enjoy his detailed description of the bible-belt post oil.) -m

Garfield on the oil crisis



A lot of folks can't understand how we came
to have an oil shortage here in our country.

~~~

Well, there's a very simple answer.

~~~

Nobody bothered to check the oil.

~~~

We just didn't know we were getting low.

~~~

The reason for that is purely geographical.

~~~

Our OIL is located in

~~~

ALASKA

~~~

California

~~~

Coastal Florida

~~~

Coastal Louisiana

~~~

Kansas

~~~

Oklahoma

~~~

Pennsylvania

and

Texas

~~~

Our

DIPSTICKS

are located in

Washington , DC!!!


Any Questions???

NO? Didn't think So.

Perhaps by "keeper" they meant "transparent pun".

You can tell it's not authentic Garfield because it tries to make a joke.

Also, it's almost funny. Another sign that it's not a genuine Garfiled.

Not to mention that Jim Davis may be a tapped-out hack, but he's a genuinely nice guy (among other things, a big fan of Garfield Minus Garfield). I don't see him creating something so grouchy and ignorant.

(Like for example, has anyone drilled in Pennsylvania at any point in the last 80 years? Those wells are dryyyyyyyyy...)
