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...)
