Description

This is matted and autographed by Jim Davis in a gold pen on the black mat, this is exactly how this was sent to me, as I piurchased this in 2010 directly from Jim Davis' Garfield website.

It was one of the hottest stories on Veteran's Day that year...

National Stupid Day is the holiday that was invented in remembrance of the spider that Garfield squashed on November 11, 2010. The strip angered veterans because it was published on Veteran's Day (implying to some people that veterans were stupid), causing Jim Davis to make an apology.

INDIANAPOLIS — Cartoonist Jim Davis apologized Thursday for a “Garfield” strip that some veterans may have found offensive.

The strip ran on Veterans Day in newspapers across the country. It shows a spider daring the pudgy orange cat to squash it. The spider tells Garfield that if he is killed, “they will hold an annual day of remembrance in my honor.”

The final panel shows a spider-teacher asking its students if they know why spiders celebrate “National Stupid Day.”

Davis, of Muncie, Ind., said in a statement posted on his website that he didn’t know the strip would appear on Veterans Day. He said it was written nearly a year ago and called the publication Thursday “the worst timing ever.”

“It absolutely, positively has nothing to do with this important day of remembrance,” Davis said.
