Welcome to Season 1, Episode 15 of my soon-to-be long running and very famous thread idea called: Guess the Garfield Punchline.

MAIN GAME: Here's how it works. I'll post a Garfield strip with the punchline missing. Everyone try to guess what it is. One guess per person. Whoever is closest wins a point. If no one is even close, then I'll announce that and everyone can get a new guess.

SECONDARY GAME: Post up the funniest punchline you can think of. Make sure you precede this guess with something like "Funny Guess:" or "Should be:" so I know it won't count against your guess for the main game. No points are awarded for the secondary game, but I think this will be the most fun part of it.

Today's cartoon:

Oh no! I'm late for my nap!

Stopped again? Oh right, I don't have thumbs to wind it.

Have I mentioned yet how much this reminds me of all of us playing "Guess the punchline" during Arsenio's monologue every night back in 1991 or whenever? That game had the added complication of having to formulate your answer in the long pause between the setup and punchline of each joke. And even with that, there would be at least one right answer in the room a surprising number of times. Arsenio had the laziest writers.

... Learn how to tell time.

Who am I fooling, I don't have anywhere to be, ever!

GUESS AGAIN! None of these are close AND I think the original is funniest (so far).

Time to get a new watch!

... Have an existential crisis.

...draw some hands on this paper watch I made.

I'm going to say Eli wins with his second entry. But honestly, I found Jim Davis' original punchline pretty funny.
