I had the book adaptation of Garfield in the Rough. The panther was just as scary in print.

I had the Halloween one and a few Orson Farm picture books.

The old guy was pretty scary in animated form as well.

These guys as well.

I'm glad I don't live in Canada:

Is that only available in Dubai and Toronto? I'm dying for a Garfield shaped pizza.

Do you know what it is like to be truly hungry Jon? You have experienced the hunger of the flesh, sure, but I feel the emptiness in the depths of my soul, the starvation hollowing out an ever expanding void within me. I still love you, I really do, despite all that I have said and done over the years you, Odie and Arlene were the only ones that I ever cared about.
I'm sorry Jon, I'm so sorry, I'm just... so hungry. It won't hurt, I do not know what will happen next but it will be a better place than this. Don't cry Jon, you are making it harder than it needs to be...
Goodbye my friend, I never wanted this...

Here's an edit of something posted in this thread

I like older Garfield and I think people give a pretty good comic turned soulless corporate product a little too much shit. I fucking loved Garfield and Friends as a kid.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

Garfield was always a soulless piece of shit. Davis flat out admitted he made it to get cash. I can respect his desire to get that money, but I cannot respect his creation.

You know U.S Acres and Gnorm the Gnat was his passion projects than Garfield.

I do. I also know they never got anywhere near the recognition that dumb cat got. That's seriously got to chap his ass. Putting effort and care into something you enjoy only for it to be pushed aside for the low effort, soulless swill you created to make yourself some cash.

does anyone remember a conceptual Garfield comic from the 80's-early 90's called "Garfield's 9 Lives" ?
It was a trade paperback. it was 8 different stories about reimagined Garfields. Some of it was surprisingly dark.

Spoiler: Panels from said comic

[Garfield Twilight Zone strip]

A few of those panels were edited out in collections and reprintings, IIRC.

 

[Recoil]

BEGONE!

but seriously, kids, this comic is an excellent example of a typical Jim Davis setup. Take a funny sound (remember, people didn't say Thot back then and THOT is a nice plosive sound), then repeat that sound effect but don't reveal what's making it for several panels - until the punchline is due, building up suspense by stoking curiosity (what could it be?) and then revealing something absurd that explains the onomatopoeia in a single final panel. It's the sort of joke one writes backwards, starting with some LoL rAnDoM type image or sound that is sufficiently silly and then fashioning an explanation for why it's happening in the first place. IMO, Jim Davis is aping the execution of this same gag from true greats like Kelly & Schultz (Pogo & Peanuts, respectively). What is the Garfield strip if not a species-swap of Charlie Brown & Snoopy, anyway? Lonely loser and wiseacre pet, who'da thunk it?

I read fairly recently that Jim Davis had no creative input on Garfield and Friends, which must have been why it was so good and memorable.

I don’t give a shit about Garfield, but I love his parodies with a passion.

Garfielf and it’s spin offs, which are basically a higher quality interpretation of YouTube Poop.

Fist of the Borf Star.

Lasagna Cat.

I will be watching these until the day I die.

Garfield has now been bought by Viacom.

Viacom Acquires Comic-Strip Cat Garfield

Garfield, the lasagna-loving comic-strip feline, has a new owner. The lazy cat has for more than 40 years been the property of owner Jon Arbuckle, a socially awkward fellow who must indulge his pet…

I thought Disney owns the rights to it since Fox made those two shitty films with Bill Murray. But I guess I’m wrong.

But still, I did not see this coming at all.
