Do you fellas like America's favorite fat cat?
>>152031270FIT cat, you mean?
>>152031270yes.
>>152031270I want to shove my face in those pecs...
hes big-boned
>>152031270I do not understand his fame, he had one good cartoon run over 20 years ago and that's it. Pretty much everything else including his original comic ranges from bad to mediocre, and yet somehow he's more popular than Jesus Christ??? No one even cares about him genuinely, as shown by the internet turning him eldritch shit or a goth femboy or whatever. People know of him but no one truly cares about Garfield.
>>1520330091. Garfield in its essence is a very simple concept to grasp, with a relatable angle that keeps him timely (I Hate Mondays, I Like Food). 2. Jim Davis whored him out any chance he could get. If you weren't exposed to Garfield in the papers, you saw a book collection, or a toy, or a motivational poster in school, or any number of shows, specials, or movies with the character.
>>152033009Its really funny. He eats lasagna and kicks Odie off the table. You have to be retarded to not get it.

>>152033175I refuse to believe these comics are still being drawn by hand
>Garfield and Heathcliff are the same cat.>Now, in the very first Garfield strip Garfield's owner Jon is established as being a cartoonist. This is still technically the case, it's just never brought up in favour of focusing on Jon's life as the most pathetic man in the universe.>Now Jon must obviously be getting regular work as a cartoonist: How else is he able to care for his pets and pay the mortgage on that bland house in the suburbs he lives in? Yet we're never actually shown any of Jon's cartoons.>The one defining trait of Jon Arbuckle is just how sad and boring a man he is. This is a guy with no social life outside of talking to his cat (A cat who, canonically, doesn't talk back to him) so any cartoons he produces are obviously going to be incredibly dull and unfunny. Jon has also been driven completely insane due to years of social isolation (A fact that becomes apparent if you ever read any of those "Garfield Minus Garfield" strips or really just remove Garfield's thought bubbles from the cartoons) so any cartoon is not only going to be completely unfunny but also totally fucking insane.>Finally, Jon is also a completely and totally uncreative individual (Which sort of goes along with being incredibly boring) so he's not going to be making cartoons about anything that he's not encountering in his day to day life.>Do you see where I'm going with this?>Heathcliff is the comic strip that Jon Arbuckle writes and draws. Heathcliff is Jon's day job. It is Garfield's antics filtered through the boring, batshit crazy filter that is Jon Arbuckle.>Jon sees his cat eating Lasagna and killing spiders and hating Mondays and it gets filtered through his boring, diseased brain in "He is Bad News" and "Cat Eat Fish". Then he churns out a week's worth of these boring, one panel comic strips and gets to eat for another night.
>>152038140Did you just come up with this? Did you invent that idea? What is the origin of this line of thinking?
>>152038140I think Jon was only a cartoonist for one day or something. I only saw him at his drawing board in that one strip.
