From Lewis Carrol's mysterious grinning Cheshire Cat and Jim Davis's lazy, lasagne-loving comic strip tabby Garfield to the depictions of big cats found in palaeolithic cave art and the ancient Egyptian's practice of worshipping cat-like deities, it's clear we humans have had a long-standing fascination with felines. But how did this obsession with these charismatic animals begin? In this episode, we're joined by Jerry D Moore, a professor of anthropology at California State University, Dominguez Hills, to talk about his latest book Cat Tales: A History – How We Learned to Live with Them… He tells us how ancient cultures feared and revered the big cats they shared their land with thanks to their prowess as apex predators, how human's development of agriculture and the storage of grain gave wild cats a reliable hunting ground in which to catch rodents, and how the domestic house cats of today may have chosen to live with us and much as we chose to live with them.

Read transcriptWelcome to another gloriously chaotic episode of Play Comics, where today's adventure features everyone's favorite lasagna-loving, Monday-hating tabby cat stumbling through the digital wasteland of Garfield: The Search for Pooky on the Game Boy Advance. Because apparently, losing a teddy bear is serious enough business to warrant an entire platforming odyssey filled with death pits, questionable physics, and mice that probably deserve their own organized crime documentary. Joining us for this tale of feline desperation and handheld gaming horrors is the phenomenally creative Ryan Estrada—artist, author, and genuine adventurer who has somehow managed to create official comics for everyone from Star Trek to Popeye to (yes, indeed) Garfield himself. When he's not crafting award-nominated graphic novels like Banned Book Club or wandering through actual adventures that sound like they belong in their own comic series, Ryan brings the perfect blend of insider knowledge and artistic sensibility to help us navigate this particular slice of orange cat chaos. So grab your favorite plush companion (and maybe hide it somewhere safe), prepare for some seriously questionable level design choices, and settle in for an episode that explores what happens when beloved comic strip characters get translated into the unforgiving world of Game Boy Advance platforming. Will our heroes survive Garfield's glacially-paced walking speed? Can anyone explain why this cat can leap tall buildings but still can't find a simple teddy bear? And most importantly, does this game capture the essence of Jim Davis's creation, or does it just make us want to curl up for a very long nap? Learn such things as: Is there anything more important than lasagna and naps? Do you ever need to grow out of your favorite stuffed friend? How do you manage when your worst enemy is your own laziness? And does that make Garfield much deeper than we ever gave it credit for? And so much more!

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has been a top audiophile label since its 1977 founding and 2001 reboot after Jim Davis, president of the high-end audio equipment company Music Direct, bought it out of bankruptcy. But the label was hit with controversy almost three years ago with the revelation that it included a digital step in the production chain of albums sourced from original master tapes. Davis issued an apology for “using vague language, allowing false narratives to propagate and for taking for granted” customers' goodwill and trust, and the company settled a class action lawsuit for $25 million. Speaking inside Music Direct's Chicago headquarters, Davis weighs the lawsuit's impact on the company and whether it was more about listening or price speculating. He explains the use of a high-resolution digital step and why it results in superior audio quality. He also discusses the significance of MoFi's new SuperVinyl formulation and Fidelity Record Pressing plant.

Send us a textChristian belief and thought are shifting away from the center of culture. We see this as more and more people are leaving the church–in fact, according to the book “The Great De-Churching” by Jim Davis and Michael Graham, 40 million people who used to faithfully attend a local church no longer do. Many have left because they believe Christianity has lost intellectual credibility. To them, it's a faith that lacks sound answers to their deepest questions. The most fundamental one is, does God exist? There are three sound arguments for God's existence we get into today. Support the show

In-between Garfield's own segments was US Acres, a short subject series based on Jim Davis' other, less widespread comic series. The tales of Orson, Roy, Wade, Bo, Lanolin, Booker and Sheldon got pretty popular as part of the show, outlasting the comic they were based on by a good few years, and giving the show's team vehicles for more gags that wouldn't work with Garfield himself. So come down to the farm, y'all!

We're currently living through the largest and fastest religious shift in U.S. history, with 40 million people having left houses of worship, mainly in the last 25 years.In this breakout session from TGCW24, Jim Davis and Michael Graham, authors of The Great Dechurching, unpack four types of people who've left evangelical churches, why they left, and why more than half of them are willing to return.They discuss the following:Why we need data on dechurchingKey findings from The Great Dechurching's studyThe timeline and causes of dechurchingFour profiles of dechurched individualsMyths and misconceptions about dechurchingPractical steps for engaging the dechurched

Arguably the magnum opus of both Jim Davis and Mark Evanier, Garfield and Friends entertained audiences and pushed cartoon writing into some genuinely funny places it hadn't really gone since the heyday of Jay Ward.

In this second episode of a two-part series, International Car Wash Association CEO Eric Wulf speaks with Jim Davis, a professor of corporate strategy at Notre Dame and now Utah State University. Together, they offer an exclusive preview of Davis's upcoming study, set to be unveiled at ROADMAP, DESTINATION: PROJECTIONS on December 13. The conversation begins with ICA's interest in The Consolidation Curve, which led to Davis's research on consolidation within the car wash industry, and expanded to explore industry saturation. In this episode, listeners get a sneak peek at Davis's key findings, including the difference between consolidation and saturation, their critical importance for business owners, and their impact on both operators and consumers. Davis delves into how these trends intersect to shape the industry, offering insights valuable for strategic planning and operational decision-making. Beyond the data and formal presentations, Davis highlights the invaluable networking and informal "hallway conversations" that bring this research to life and make it actionable. For Davis, these “confluence of factors” can ignite transformative ideas and strategies for the future. There's no better place to plan for your business's future than at ROADMAP.

With references to Jim Davis's 'The Great Dechurching,' the speaker emphasizes the critical role of men in the church and society. Addressing how societal views have vilified men, the script suggests a shift from shame-based to affirmational methods to encourage men's return to church. It underscores the importance of wisdom, strong familial structures, and the pivotal role fathers play in mending homes, churches, and communities. The discussion also explores practical steps for church leaders and fathers to nurture a spiritually strong and knowledgeable generation.

The discussion highlights a troubling fact from Jim Davis's book, "The Great Dechurching": nearly 45 million people in North America have stopped attending church over the past two decades. The episode reveals a significant gender gap in church attendance, with congregations typically being 61% female and 39% male. This disparity reflects a broader societal issue where men are undervalued and underrepresented. The lack of male engagement with faith is seen as a barrier to their spiritual growth and leadership in their families and communities. Oxford researcher Jim McNamara points out that mass media often portrays men negatively, which erodes their self-worth and further decreases their involvement in religious settings. Rather than shaming men into returning to church, the episode advocates for affirming and encouraging them. It stresses the need to educate and mentor men, helping them understand their roles and responsibilities rather than reprimanding them. Kent Evans, founder of Manhood Journey, is introduced as a key advocate for revitalizing the family as the cornerstone of society. His focus is on equipping fathers to raise godly men, which strengthens families and churches. Evans shares personal stories and insights on fatherhood, highlighting the importance of wisdom, communication, and aligning actions with God's teachings. He also addresses common challenges fathers face, such as time management and communication, and offers practical advice on improving these areas. The episode concludes with an interactive segment where Evans discusses wisdom through the book of Proverbs, urging fathers to lead by example and be open to feedback.   In summary, "BetterMan 4" calls for a reevaluation of how the church engages with men, promoting a supportive and empowering approach that encourages men to embrace their roles as leaders in their families and communities.

In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing.

The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 08: Be Careful What You Ask For.Chapter 08: Be Careful What You Ask ForIn this chapter, Larry cautions people to be careful what they wish for in investing. He emphasizes the daunting challenge of active management, a path many choose in the belief that they can accurately forecast market trends.However, as Larry points out, the reality is far from this ideal. The unpredictability of the market makes it almost impossible to predict with 100% accuracy, a fact that investors should be acutely aware of.High growth rates don't always mean high stock returnsIt's important to note that high growth rates don't always translate into high stock returns, underscoring the unpredictability of market outcomes. According to Larry, for today's investors, the equivalent of the “Midas touch” (the king who turned everything he touched into gold) might be the ability to forecast economic growth rates.If investors could forecast with 100% certainty which countries would have the highest growth rates, they could invest in them and avoid those with low growth rates. This would lead to abnormal profits—or, perhaps not.Nobody can predict with that accuracy. Even if one could make such a prediction, they may still not make the profits they think they will. This is because, as Larry explains, experts have found that there has been a slightly negative correlation between country growth rates and stock returns.A 2006 study on emerging markets by Jim Davis of Dimensional Fund Advisors found that the high-growth countries from 1990 to 2005 returned 16.4%, and the low-growth countries returned the same 16.4%.Such evidence has led Larry to conclude that it doesn't matter if you can even forecast which countries will have high growth rates; the market will make the same forecast and adjust stock prices accordingly.Therefore, to beat the market, you must be able to forecast better than the market already expects, and to do so, you need to gather information at a cost. In other words, you can't just be smarter than the market; you have to be smarter than the market enough to overcome all your expenses of gathering information and trading costs.Larry emphasizes that emerging markets are very much like the rest of the world's capital markets—they do an excellent job of reflecting economic growth...

In week one of our series in Daniel we are introduced to a handful of Jewish teenagers who are forced into exile in Babylon. As we study their lives and the scriptures that formed them, we seek to answer timely questions for God's people in our current cultural moment:How are we to navigate our faith in a culture that is increasingly hostile towards it? What does faithfulness look like amidst mounting pressure to compromise and conform? How do we walk in the way of Jesus in what can feel like a new and foreign land? Special thanks to Jim Davis, Michael Graham, Ryan P. Burge, John Mark Comer, and Tremper Longman III for their contributions to this message.

Deciding to “think cool,” he uses the fridge and sets the automatic ice maker to the blizzard setting, blanketing the yard with snow. Jon agrees to Garfield's plan, grabs the Christmas decorations, and trims the tree. He even hangs lights on the house!His neighbors across the street and try to outdo Jon with decorations. Soon the entire neighborhood follows suit, and shortly after  the whole town is decked out for Christmas!

Marvel/Scholastic illustrator Asia Simone (Instagram, Twitter)shares her experience of illustrating a "Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur" book, navigating the world of YA graphic novel publishing, and... surviving Brad's studio! Next, a listener asks... "Should I jump to Cara?"TODAY'S SHOWSpecial guest Asia SimoneShould I jump to Cara?San Diego Comic-Com 2024Breaking the 4th WallEDITOR'S NOTEDuring the show, Brad and Dave insisted that Jim Davis rarely breaks the Fourth Wall in "Garfield." They were demonstrably wrong.SUMMARYIn this conversation, Brad Guigar, Dave Kellett, and Asia Simone discuss various topics related to live streaming, collaboration, and Asia's career as an artist. They also touch on Asia's experience working on a Marvel Scholastic book. The conversation is filled with humorous moments and insights into the creative process. Asia Simone discusses her journey into the comic book industry, including how she got scouted for a job at Marvel and Scholastic. She emphasizes the importance of doing the work you want to do and constantly striving for improvement. Asia also talks about the challenges of meeting deadlines and the importance of craftsmanship. She shares her hopes and fears for the future, including the fear of losing momentum and the hope of networking and exploring new opportunities. Asia advises aspiring artists to start small and not put too much pressure on themselves to create big, epic projects.Next, Dave and Brad express their frustration with Instagram and their skepticism about the long-term success of Cara. They also caution against jumping on every new platform. In an update, they emphasize the importance of considering the cost and profitability of exhibiting at Comic-Con. In this part of the conversation, Dave and Brad discuss the potential drop in attendance at San Diego Comic-Con and the impact it may have on their sales. They also address a question from a Patreon backer about breaking the fourth wall in comics. Dave shares his perspective on breaking the fourth wall, mentioning that he is more willing to do it in his comic strip Sheldon compared to his other comic, Drive. Brad talks about his experience with breaking the fourth wall in his previous comic, Greystone Inn, and why he chooses not to do it in his current comics. They discuss the balance and considerations of using meta humor in comics.TAKEAWAYSIce cream trucks are a rare sight in Los Angeles, leading to envy from Dave towards Brad in Philadelphia.Asia Simone's art style is modern, western, animation-inspired, and often incorporates wacky facial expressions and poses.Asia Simone learned about paneling, bubbling, and story structure while interning with Brad Guigar.When giving a price for artwork, if the client is enthusiastic and quickly accepts, it may be an indication that the price is too low.Asia Simone landed a job with Marvel Scholastic through online postings and was given a test to illustrate a page from a Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur issue.Working on a Marvel Scholastic book required Asia Simone to adhere to a specific style and be on model throughout the project. Do the work you want to do and constantly strive for improvement.Meeting deadlines is important for building relationships in the industry.Start small, and don't put too much pressure on yourself to create big, epic projects.Collaboration and networking are key to success in the industry.Don't settle for 'good enough' - aim for excellence in your work.Stay motivated by constantly exploring new opportunities and projects.Be open to working with others and be willing to learn from them.Don't fear the future of the industry, but instead embrace the challenges and adapt to changes.Maintaining momentum is crucial for continued success.Focus on craftsmanship and delivering high-quality work.Take advantage of social media to promote your work and connect with others in the industry.The success of new social media platforms like Kara is uncertain, and it's important to consider the platform's longevity and reliability before investing time and effort into it.Instagram's performance in terms of promoting Kickstarters and Patreon campaigns has been disappointing for Dave, leading him to delete his posts and consider leaving the platform.Exhibiting at San Diego Comic-Con can be a costly investment, and it's important to have realistic expectations about profitability.It's advisable to start with regional comic conventions before considering exhibiting at larger events like Comic-Con.The absence of a Hollywood presence at Comic-Con in 2020 resulted in a more focused and profitable experience for Dave.It's important to be cautious about the potential degradation of platforms as they grow and attract venture capital.Consider the trade-offs between reliable platforms owned by large companies and newer platforms that may be more community-focused but less stable.Protecting artwork from AI scraping on social media platforms like Kara can be time-consuming and may degrade the quality of the images. The potential drop in attendance at conventions like San Diego Comic-Con can impact sales for independent creators, and it's important to be prepared for the possibility of lower sales.Breaking the fourth wall in comics can be a humorous technique, but it should be used sparingly and in a way that fits the tone and style of the comic.The decision to break the fourth wall depends on the depth and realism of the characters and storylines in the comic. More iconic and simplistic comics may be more suitable for fourth wall breaks.Breaking the fourth wall involves maintaining the suspension of disbelief, not relying on it as a crutch for punchlines, and preserving the integrity of the storytelling.Comic strips, especially those with a joke-a-day format, may be more forgiving of fourth-wall breaks than comics with deeper storylines.ASIA SIMONEAsia Simone can be found on Instagram, Twitter, and her website.

People have been doing the square dance since before the Declaration of Independence. But does that mean it should be THE American folk dance? That question took us on a journey from Appalachian front porches, to dance classes across our nation, to the halls of Congress, and finally a Kansas City convention center. And along the way, we uncovered a secret history of square dancing that made us see how much of our national identity we could stuff into that square, and what it means for a dance to be of the people, by the people, and for the people.Special thanks to Jim Mayo, Claude Fowler, Paul Gifford, Jim Maczko, Jim Davis, Paul Moore, Jack Pladdys, Mary Jane Wegener, Kinsey Brooke and Connie Keener.We have some exciting news!

On this week's show, the hosts begin by asking the question: What even is Garfield? Jim Davis' overfed, Monday-hating (even though he's jobless) cultural figure first appeared in comic strips in the late 1970s, and since then, has been surprisingly resilient, most recently conquering the summer box-office with The Garfield Movie. But who is Garfield, and more perhaps more importantly, why is he a thing? To answer these questions, each host watched (or endured) a different Garfield entity, including Garfield: The Movie (2004), Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006), and the latest film starring Chris Pratt as the titular cat. Then, the three discuss suspense and its nature in relation to fiction, inspired by Kathryn Schulz's essay for The New Yorker, “The Secrets of Suspense.” It's a curious, fantastic essay that questions the human impulse to know what happens next. Finally, it's a visit from the Gabfest's oldest and closest Friend of the Pod, June Thomas, who speaks with the panel about her essential new book, A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture.  In the exclusive slate Plus segment, the hosts answer a listener question from Evana: “What is a cultural reference that really bugs Steve/Julia/Dana when they see/hear it being misused or misinterpreted?” We're taking submissions for Summer Strut 2024!

We can't go back to the church environments we grew up with, we can only go forward. So what would a healthy modern reformation and a Great Rechurching look like? Rather than wallowing in pessimism and longing to return to the church of yesteryear, Michael Horton, Bob Hiller, Justin Holcomb, and Walter Strickland discuss how the church today can reform and be marked by orthodoxy, love, and resilient joy.

If you go to church, do you know why you attend? Do you know why your friends and family have casually just stopped going to church? How can we talk about the necessity of the church in a way that is beautiful and life-giving, but goes beyond personal preference? In this episode, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller answer these questions and more as they discuss how Christians can reach out to their dechurched friends, family, and neighbors. “When asked how willing they would be to go back to church, 51 percent said they are either somewhat willing or very willing—51 percent! Unsurprisingly, the reasons they would come back also represent a longing to belong. These dechurched evangelicals said they would come back if they made new friends (28%), if they move and want to make new friends (18%), if they became lonely and want to make new friends (20%), if their children want to go (16%), if their spouse wants to go (18%), if a friend invites them (17%), if there is a good pastor (18%), if they find a good community (17%), if they miss their church community (20%), or if they just find a church they like (14%). This group's high orthodoxy scores also inform other reasons they would come back: if they feel the distance from God (20%) or if God tells them to go back in some significant way (18%). The main takeaway here is that many dechurched evangelicals simply need a friend to invite them to church.” - The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back? by Jim Davis and Michael Graham, with Ryan P.

What happened in American culture and in the church from the 1970s-1990s? What were the conversations and big concerns of that time when White Horse Inn recorded its first episodes? In answering some of these questions, churches can get their bearings as to what trends have impacted those who no longer sit in their pews and what to do about it. “The early 1990s was an inflection point for American religion. Between the early 1970s and 1990s, the share of Americans who had no religious affiliation had only risen two points. But from that point forward, the nones would grow by a percentage point or two nearly every year through the following three decades.” - Ryan Burge, “‘OK Millennial': Don't Blame the Boomers for Decline of Religious America” Michael Horton, Bob Hiller, Walter Strickland, and Justin Holcomb discuss how modern historical events and trends have impacted church attendance today and how to respond.

I recently read a book that I absolutely could not put down. I've literally told almost everyone I know to go buy it and read it for themselves. That book is called The Great Dechurching"The current Great Dechurching ​is ​larger ​than ​the ​First ​Great ​Awakening, ​Second ​Great ​Awakening, ​and ​all ​the ​Billy ​Graham ​Crusades ​combined, ​just ​going ​the ​opposite ​direction.”Today, I have the honor of talking with one of the co-authors of this book, Jim Davis.Jim is the teaching pastor at a church in Orlando, Florida where he  had a hunch they were experiencing a large and fast religious shift for the worse but had no data to prove it. So, with the help of two sociologists, they commissioned the largest and most comprehensive study of dechurching (somebody ​who ​used ​to ​go ​to ​church ​at ​least ​monthly ​and ​now ​goes ​less ​than ​one ​time ​a ​year) in America. What they learned was fascinating.In this conversation, Jim and I talk about the different groups of people leaving the Church, why they are leaving and what we, as believers, can do about it. Grab a copy of Jim's incredible book The Great Dechurching here.Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode: Simple & Vern EideSimple provides an easy, secure way to make giving super user-friendly.

Justin Holcomb interviews Jim Davis and Michael Graham, authors of The Great Dechurching, to discuss why forty million Americans have stopped attending church in the past 25 years. Many attribute church decline to encroaching secular trends, abuse in the church, or spiritual deconstruction. While all of these trends have spiked in recent years, Davis and Graham, with the help of Ryan Burge, reveal that these factors are not the primary causes for the erosion of church attendance and share what the church can do to turn back those estranged from her.
