The Jonicles - Entry 26

It is currently the 16th of September, 2022 at 7:20 pm on a lovely Friday, I accidentally missed Nermal's birthday, and it's day #120 of my Jon Arbuckle hyperfixation! Also, school has once again ended for the term, which means I am finally free from the shackles that is procrastinating on like 6 assessments all due a few days to a week after one another. I apologise for the long absense as those assessments really did nothing but drain my motivation to write entries for this series and I also got super fixated on one Ethan Winters from the Resident Evil series. What can I say? He's a hot dilf and I hope you can understand.

So, what does this entry detail? Well, simply take a gander at the image above, take a real good look, absorb all the details, really take a moment to soak it all in.

This image above, obviously, is a Garfield strip. Specifically, it is a 2018 strip that was published on the 5th of April. Off the bat, however, you can immediately tell something is off about this strip. Where's Garfield? Surely Garfield would be there to provide some yuks, some yaks, and guffaws and some contained tomfoolery and chaos, right? Putting two and two together, you can probably make the connection that this strip is one from Garfield Minus Garfield, placing the focus only on the dilf Jon.

Now, what is this spectacular little dude doing in this strip? He, like many Americans, is enjoying an old fashioned burger, a food that, in previous strips, has been shown to be one Jon enjoys, as he has been sighted preparing and consuming this food item many times over the years. From this, it can be concluded that burgers are most likely a favourite or at least a heavily desired food of Jon's, only being second to his usual meal of meat, peas and mashed potato. Jon looks at the burger with his signature half-lidded, almost smug looking expression of content, gently setting it down on the table for consumption and enjoyment. Through his body language, it can be noted that Jon is relaxed, content and looking forward to this meal. The burger itself is quite packed with ingredients and looms quite delectable, adding to Jon's desire to consume.

In this second panel, we see Jon now comfortable sitting, holding the burger with those two big dilf hands, using a pattened burger handling technique showing that Jon is definitely a pro. He's ready n' steady to take a massive chomp out of that bad boy with those large square pearly whites of his, which signifies that Jon has great dental hygene, always a plus. What I personally find interesting is how Jon's gaze never seems to leave the burger, it's always locked on with a clear intent to absorb its nutrience. This could be noted as further evidence to Arbuckle's love of this food, a love that, while I personally do not share it, I can appreciate as I appreciate all the things Jon loves and all the interests he has a passion for.

In the last panel, Jon takes a... What is this? Alas, we've been bamboozled! That burger, the same one Jon was preparing to take a bite out of just a moment ago has now seemed to have disappeared!? What kind of tomfoolery is this?? Surely it must be witchcraft, that burger couldn't have possibly disappeared from Jon's hands just like that! Jon shares this same confusion you and I have, his content, relaxed expression immediately shifting to one of surprise. His eyes are wide and unblinking, and his toothy grin has now become a small line. He looks as though he's still processing the situation, his brain possbly working overtime just to figure out what the absolute fuck just happened. Something to note is how we don't see Jon's reaction after he's finished processing this magical occurance, but rather, we see it as it happens. We see Jon as he happens, we can literally see him calculating the situation in his head through that look of surprised confusion on his face. Take a look at his right hand - which would be on your left - and how compared to the grasp he has in the second panel, his hand seems to be open, sjowing he's probably wondering why his meal has seemed to disappear. This, readers, is not normal. I can confirm that.

Now, you may be thinking, "Jeremy, you've gone fucking insane. Hyperanalysing a Garfield strip with the most obvious punchline? Come on bro you've gone nuts.", and you'd be correct. However, I'm not only hyperanalysing this strip because I find it funny, I'm hyperanalysing it because what the strip implies is something I find to also be funny.

Garfield is no stranger to having weird shit happen in his world. I mean, Garfield himself is the first weird thing that's happening here, he's almost a talking cat. If Garfield's world wasn't weird, we wouldn't have stuff like the whole Lyman disappearance fiasco, the entirety of The Garfield Show, Garfield Kart... So surely, a disappearing burger wouldn't be that weird, right?

But for some reason, it just is, and that is stupidly funny to me. Jon's no stranger to having his food stolen when he isn't looking, but the thing is, usually, Garfield (and also Odie) is always thsre to do the stealing. This time, Jon is completely alone in his house and he has just witnessed a burger just phase out of existence literally in front of his face. This implies three things:

1. Jon is insane.

2. We, the readers, are also insane.

3. In the GMG universe, all food have strange paranormal abilities.

The first implication is the easiest one to get behind. Throughout the years, Garfield fans have noticed Jon's strange behaviours and made plenty of theories galore in an attempt to explain away what's really going on in Jon's head for him to act this way, which is the sole reason GMG exists. A common theory is that Jon has schizophrenia, a mental illness commonly associated with delusions, paranoia, abnormal or strange behaviours and auditory and/or visual hallucinations. This theory proposes that Garfield is a hallucination which explains why Jon often talks to himself or as if someone is there when he is alone. And plus, Jon already shows signs of possible mental distress in Garfield's canon, so it does have a connection. The burger disappearing is simply just a hallucination of Jon's, obviously being a place in which Garfield most likely would have stolen the burger in a sneaky discrete way to mess with his owner. It's an alright theory, but to me, the burger disappearing has some other interesting implications.

The next implication I'd like to address is the possibility that, due to us bearing witness to the disappearing burger, we as the readers are also beginning to go insane. Note that, with fanmade GMG strips that follow the "Garfield is a hallucination" theory (strips where Jon does acknowledge a 'Garfield' despite him not being there), Garfield is never seen, which alienates Jon from the reader and reenforces Jon's own mental issues being in his head. Being able to see Garfield as Jon imagines him would bot only just be a normal Garfield strip, but would be weird and possinly just ruin the joke. However, if we follow the implication and theory that the burger disappearing is a hallucination of Jon's, that means that, by being able to see the burger disappear as Jon can, we are also experiencing hallucinatory experiences, most likely brought on by Jon's own mental illness. Think of the phenomenon of the "spread" of mental illnesses to people that are in proximity to another person who is mentally ill. By hanging around Jon, us as the readers are now starting to feel the effects of his mental illness, and seeing the burger disappear as Jon does just further cements that and, at least to me, makes the comic way funnier because we're snapping too. It's an interesting way to look at it, and it'd be fun to see more strips that follow a similar pattern to this.

This last implication is by far the silliest and funniest one, the implication that food simply has odd abilities beyond physics itself, and there are multiple instances of this happening in fanmade GMG media too. The first instance, of this, is this one with the disappearing burger. It just seems to leave at will almost like it has a mind of its own, taunting Jon by disappearing just when he's about to take a bite out of it, and for some reason that is incredibly funny to me. Another example of food having weird abilities is this GMG strip from Reddit (which of course I couldn't fucking find online because why would I be able to...):

It is literally just three panels of dessert foods floating in midair and it's so funny to me. The foods also always are a different treat each panel, which also implies some sort of shape-shifting abilities on top of floating and disappearing. This, apart from generally being funny, supports this theory of food being totally out of wack and defying the very laws of physics like they were an error in Cyberpunk 2077.

Finally, the last example of food being weird in GMG media is a more subtle one, but it's from a video some may recognise. It's 'An Arbuckle Thanksgiving' (not the exact name), a video that edits the Thanksgiving special from Garfield And Friends to have no trace of the fat cat, only focusing on Jon and his descent into madness. At around 3:04 minutes into the video when Jon is preparing the Thanksgiving dinner for Liz, we witness something that is a little odd. Incredibly odd, as a matter of fact. For some bizarre reason that can definitely only be explained by food having weird physics and totally not a joke left by the editor as a byproduct of Garfield being removed from the scene, a substance that appears to be flour seems to materialise from thin air completely umprompted, flouring the vegetables in complete silence as to not disturb the lovely jazz music playing throughout the special. For what reason this flour decided to materialise randomly is unknown to me, but it raises a lot of good questions on the subject. Like, is flour the only food that has this ability, or do other foods also possess this power to materialise out of nowhere? How much power do foods have? Do only certain food types have certain powers like Pokémon or are the abilities universal? Where do these powers come from? Are these also a byproduct of Jon's madness spreading onto us? Why does Jon seem to fixate on food related hallucinations? Why are there so many examples of food just being weird!?

Alas, we may never get a concrete answer, though the concept of food types having certain abilities does make me want to create a chart of what types of foods based on the food pyramid have what powers and what combinations creat what abilities. However, though the perrals of having your burger disappear on you are confusing and hard, it's comforting to know that, even when he feels alone, Jon is certainly not going through this alone. We as readers are here for him, I'm here for him, and I will be there with him to cope through this process of trying not to go bonkers after your burger leaves the plane of existence, even if he may not be aware of it.

Jon, though your burger has ran away and disappeared, that says nothing about how you are as a person and that doesn't mean you're not good enough, even for a burger. You are enough, you are deserving and you are still a fantastic person. Don't let the disappearance of a burger define you by your flaws. Take care, Jon. Love you, bud :)

"Don't let the disappearance of a burger define you by your flaws." that's a quote i'm definitely gonna take to heart, never thought i'd say that in a million years

Batfam at the Dentist...

I am tired and my gums hurt. Take this offering bc it was all I was thinking about while getting my teeth cleaned.

Dick

He is a grown man, but when it comes to the dentist Bruce has to drive all the way to Bludhaven and drag him all the way back to Gotham. A whole grown man, but he's terrified of the dentist, which is why he still goes to the same practice in Gotham that the family has been using for forever.

Once he gets there he's all smiles and charm, but Bruce knows it is a lie

He doesn't often have cavities, but when he does he calls Bruce in tears like it's the end of the world.

Apparently he's fine with the hygenists. It's the dentist herself that he's opposed to, because she lectures him about his nutritional choices. Bruce can't blame him, the woman is more strict than Leslie and possibly more intimidating than Alfred.

Jason

Surprisingly good at keeping his appointments for dental cleanings

Always gets praised for his good flossing habits, there's no risk of cavities here boi!

He also uses the same practice, and always seems to get the same hygenist. No one ever thinks about the possible security risk of using the same hygenist from before he died.....

If she notices that "Tason Jodd" has records that match the deceased Jason Todd's perfectly, she says nothing but always makes sure he gets a small tube of his favorite chapstick flavor.

Cass

She had never been to the dentist as a kid (surprise surprise). The first time is a bit traumatic for everyone involved.

Thankfully the office has a therapy animal. Usually it's only needed for small children and elder patients with alzheimers, but Cass is much better behaved when the little poodle sat on her lap.

Had a few cavities the first time, but has been cavity-free ever since.

That being said. Bruce does also have to drag his young adult daughter to the dentist every time.

Tim

Always ends up with appointments first thing in the morning. Does the hygenist hate him?!

Doesn't really ever have cavities, but still gets lectured anyways because he does always have stains on his teeth from coffee and tea.

The Drakes had also used this dentist (all the wealthy Gotham families do, the practice has been handed through the same family for generations) and sometimes the dentist will start going off on tangents about how cute he was when he was little

Bruce is an avid listener, and always teases him about his childhood toothbrush-character choices in the car ride home

Duke

Uses an electric toothbrush and a waterpik flosser to avoid those cavities.

Woe be the day when a villain knocks out one of his expertly attended teeth. He's got a very nice smile and he knows it. As a kid he had needed braces, and he never wants to go through the pain of a major orthodontal proceedure again.

Probably still has a bottom retainer cemented in. They've offered to take it out and give him a removable one for nights, but he knows he'd forget to ever use it.

Doesn't need the therapy dog, but rather likes her. It's best to schedule his appointments the same day as Cass so they can both play with the dog and calm each other down.

Damian

Cannot be scheduled for appointments the same day as Dick. If he sees the oldest boy freaking out, he also freaks out.

Does a good job keeping his teeth clean, doesn't really have cavities. Does have a couple of retained baby teeth though, and has to have them removed.

Doesn't like cleanings because he doesn't like the feeling of the suction in his mouth. He's bitten many a hygenist, only the bravest risk going into his room.

Scares the therapy dog, necessitating the need for a therapy sibling. Tim has gotten very good at squishing his brother and staying out of the way of the dental tray. More often than not they recruit Steph to do it though. They pay for her dental cleanings for the trouble.

Bruce

Listen. This man was raised by Alfred. Do you think he'd have anything other than perfect dental hygene?

Has had a ton of dental work done because his teeth keep getting broken/knocked out during fights though. It drives his dentist crazy. She keeps threatening to fire him as her client, but she never does. She was very fond of his father. It used to drive Martha up the wall.

Does she not fire him due to nostalgia reasons? Perhaps. He does resemble Thomas greatly. She also is fond of his little pack of hooligans.

Alfred

If he and the dentist know each other from their days in the service, well that's their secret.

She always makes fun of him for stereotypic reasons, but it's all in good fun. He's good about not getting cavities. He does have a few crooked teeth, but at his age refuses to get braces.

They complain about the aches and pains that come with getting old together.

Every year he sends her a holiday card, it features all the kids and one of their staff members, one Tason Jodd. The staff smiles and coos before hanging it up with others that they get, and if the dentist knows perhaps a bit more than she should, if she likes the annual reassurance that all is well in the Wayne household, well. That's for her and Alfred to know.

#I feel like all 10-13 year olds are little shits about going to the dentist #it doesn't matter if there's a cute dog he still goes feral #Duke was probably really a cute kid with his braces #Lives in eternal fear of rubber bands #You know the ones #Tim gets really embarrassed about his teeth stains #batfam #batfamily headcanons #batman #bruce wayne #dick grayson #jason todd #cassandra cain #tim drake #duke thomas #damian wayne #alfred pennyworth

Qualities you need to look for when searching for the best dentist in Delhi

Having a family dentist just like having a family physician is very important. From taking care of your child’s first tooth to making the dentures for the geriatric patients…a dentist not only takes care of all the dental needs, but also helps prevent them.

Periodic (6 monthly) visits to the dentist are recommended to ensure the dentist is able to prevent formation or progression of any dental issue.

Other than dental caries, there are serious issues like oral cancer and other systemic diseases which have oral manifestations which can be detected and screened by your dentist at regular check ups.

Having a family dentist also ensures he knows your and your family’s medical and dental history. This includes keeping the x rays and other records and also knowing any drug interactions or allergies you may have.

While we understand the importance now, it is also imperative to choose a good dentist for yourself and your family…

Enlisting some of the qualities you should look for while choosing a dentist

Qualifications;

It is the most important to go to a qualified dentist…who knows how to prevent, how to diagnose, when to treat, how to treat and also when required, call in other specialists.

To give you a brief idea, the basic qualification needed to practice dentistry in India is BDS – Bachelors in dental surgery.

After that comes the specialization, called as the post gradation. In India the post graduation is called as MDS – Masters in dental surgery.

For example, a root canal specialist is called as an Endodontist, a dentist who specializes in child dentistry is a Pedodontist.

Such information is usually available on websites, feel free to read, ask (politely) and then make an informed choice.

Accessibility ;

Another important aspect while searching for your dentist is that he should be readily approachable. Your dental clinic should not be very far so that you can easily reach in case of an emergency.

Ask yourself the question,

am I comfortable calling my dentist at 2 am in the night in case of an emergency?

he is flexible with the timings of appointments

does he take time to answer all my queries, no matter how silly I feel they are

If the answers are yes, then you have got your reason to smile bright.

Clean and hygenic;

A dental clinic should be clean and hygenic. From the moment you enter the dental clinic, it should give a clean and calming vibe.

All the instruments should be properly sterilized. The doctor, assistant, and all the other staff should be in clean and proper attire.

Trust

The last, but in no way the least factor is that a dentist should be trustworthy. You should be able to trust your dentist for proving the right treatment, for not overcharging, and most importantly for helping you maintain a good relationship with your oral health.

lastly, when you do find your dentist, trust him, follow his advice, and value him. Taking care of your oral hygiene is a team effort of you and your dentist, the better coordinated the team, the smoother the process and the better the results. Happy smiling.

Is being a dental hygienist worth it in 2017? Or is it a useless degree?

I'm thinking of going back to school since I withdrew in 2015 to do makeup artistry and never got my Associate in Arts.

I'm highly considering getting my Associates in Science for Dental Hygiene since I know it's not something I would hate and potentially enjoy if I find worth it since as a special fx makeup artist, I see many similities in the work that I'd find interesting.

It seems to be the only career that would not be a total waste of money and time to persue with just a Associates Degree.

I've looked at forums and websites though and most people say the same thing (with any field at any degree, including dental hygene). No matter what the field or website, I get the same answers,

"Pay's not as good as it seems to be, no jobs, to many people going to school for it, long hours, hard work and not getting treated fairly."

How the salary of a DH is incorrect on national salary websites, and it's a very saturated filed that is not in demand with many people who do have years of experience un employed. How the expectancy of the field being in the "Top 5 best jobs to have" with little schooling is false, as well as studying even taking more than the 2 years websites tell you. How it's a dead end field where your only direction is to become a dentist after wards, etc.

And with everyone saying "I'm going to be a RN!", while not knowing how hard schooling is and how hard the job is day to day, I can imagine the same issues laying there as well. In other words, no jobs or real shitty ones you fully depend on because you don't have a choice.

All reasons for why I left college to begin with, validating my theory that a degree does very little in finding any jobs. Which is why I want to step forward wisely and have always done my research.

I live in Miami, FL. I also considered taking blood but decide against it because I am aware it's hard enough to find a consistent job there.

So, for those of you who are dental hygienists, and hopefully have knowledge on how things are in Miami, or in your area.

Is all of this true, or are these people just complaining?

I want to go to school to get a degree that won't take forever that will be worth it in getting me a job and paycheck so I can save and decide what my following steps are, with job security.

With the skin care certification I have now, the wage is 11/h anywhere you go which is not enough and it's very unsatisfying when my priorities are elsewhere.

Should I look into becoming a pharmacist in Miami? Insight?

Thank you.
