The Garfield Thread - All about the Garfield

[Technetium]

Even later he would try occasionally. Anywhere from one to five percent of the time Davis gets experimental. A lot of the posts on this thread have been showing those moments off. I imagine it's not easy to stay passionate about one thing when you've been doing it for 40ish years.

There was one strip that was from I think the late nineties, which had me legit laughing out loud for a good few minutes. IIRC Garfield answers the door to an unexpected pizza delivery guy, goes "momma mia" and then basically assaults him. Then Jon yells to him to leave the pizza and play dead. Something about the timing and the way Garfield's expression was drawn (one of the rare instances where it doesn't look copy pasted) got me straight in the funny bone. Maybe someone knows what strip it is? I'm not having any luck finding it.

So Jon and Lizard are dating now I take it? Didn’t think he’d ever do it.

Yup, apparently Garfield Minus Garfield made Davis realize he'd inadvertently created the most depressing character in existence. SRomG has a quick rundown of everything that's happened in the strip. Spoiler: Depressingly little apart from Jon/Liz

Sorry for the double post, but now I'm curious. Was it a Sunday strip i.e. 7 panels, not including the title?

Nope, 3 panel weekday strip. Looking at the covers of the yearly books, it was somewhere between the 30th and 36th, tending more towards the latter. I spent a lot of time reading those books as a kid, damn. Could've spent it a bit more productively.

edit - holy crap I found it.

While I was looking I did find this. I know it's a joke, but it's still hopelessly naïve. Mr. Davis would do well to lurk on the farms for a few months.

The Internet would rather have a video of a man defending Cuties and professing his attraction to little girls than have Jon Arbuckle write a love sonnet.

Goddamn it must've been bad.

Some FNAF furry lover talks about Garfield for over an hour.

Not into the comics but the cartoon had a great art style felt so comfy.

 

[Quijibo69]

CGI sucks ass! The 2d cartoon at least could be funny at some times.

Had some fun earlier with a Garfield comic generator:

Show me a good mouser, and I'll show you a cat with bad breath.

Has anyone read Square Root of Minus Garfield recently? It's something else. How do you set out to parody Garfield, of all things, and somehow become more unfunny than the original strip?

The author writes:

this joke is made 10 times funnier if you have a basic grasp on the deep super mario 127 discord server lore

Aw man, let me just catch up on the "super mario 127 discord server lore," whatever the fuck that is.

As of writing, this is today's strip:

Literally three plates of food.

I tried.

I find this hard to believe, SRoMG author.

Those character designs are uglier than the 2004 live action movie. Which is saying something.

you mean one of the greatest movies of all time?

i would look past the shitty animation if it wasn't for the fact chris pratt is voicing garfield. it really sets the tone of how shit the movie will (inevitably) be

• Chris Pratt as Garfield, a cynical and lazy orange tabby cat who loves lasagna and hates Mondays[2]
• Samuel L. Jackson as Vic, Garfield's father[2]
• Hannah Waddingham[2]
• Ving Rhames[2]
• Nicholas Hoult[2]
• Cecily Strong[2]
• Harvey Guillén[2]
• Brett Goldstein[2]
• Bowen Yang[2]

edit: this is harvey gullien

He identifies as queer,[16][17] and is currently in a relationship with Kevin Braun.[18]

yeah, i figured so

Guillén is the son of Mexican immigrants.[14] He adopted the name Harvey when his teachers could not pronounce his first name.[1]

you mean to tell me nobody in his school could pronounce javier? you just fucking pronounce the j with an h

also.... javier... harvey. fuck you. maldito maricón
