In this episode, I'm puffing, puffing and then passing some dank info along to you as I try and figure out the best way to get high off Garfield and take a look back at the 1990 anti-drug TV special "Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue."

In this episode, I'm going back through the archives to figure out what Garfield was up to the week of September 11, 2001. I also take a look at how newspaper comics in general paid tribute on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, and whether Garfield ever acknowledged the national tragedy.

It's the first episode, and I'm starting things off with a little light Garfield music as I try to answer this burning QUAG:

"What music should I, a Garfield fan, listen to?"

You'll hear some haunting children's music BY Garfield, some graphic rap ABOUT Garfield, and a message to a DJ uncovers an unexpected connection to the Norwegian tradition of "russefeiring."
