Friday, February 8, 2008 at 1:55 PM The one with the movie reviews is fantastic. I like that these people are clearly mocking Jim Davis and the banality of Garfield (love the rim shot/laugh track touch in each) yet they also seem to revere it in order to put this much effort into it. —Beat It! |

Friday, February 8, 2008 at 2:05 PM Man I hate this thread, I love Garfield and own all of his books up until 41. I mean when you write a comic for 30 years, not every one is gonna be a winner. The one with Jon's Toast making made me laugh though, because of the song choice. Gotta love Alan Jackson

Friday, February 8, 2008 at 9:07 PM also, I remember some of these strips being my favorites when I was a kid. It's not like they're picking out the worst Garfields of all time or anything. —TortillaFactory |

Edited Friday, February 8, 2008 at 11:02 PM i believe garfield's 9th book was my favorite. it had a pale yellow cover.
as a kid, i collected them. i had 1 through 11. i had a stuffed/furry garfield and odie too. i still have garfield sheets for the twin size bed i had as a kid. must've acquired those 1982-ish. i have a hard time throwing stuff from my childhood away. —plurry |

Saturday, February 9, 2008 at 4:55 AM as a kid, i collected them. i had 1 through 11. i had a stuffed/furry garfield and odie too. Same here. But it all ended once I discovered the holy trinity of comics - Bloom County, Calvin & Hobbes, and The Far Side.

Saturday, February 9, 2008 at 11:43 PM Technically, from the way Jon's taking a bite, wouldn't the weiner shoot out in the opposite direction? Also, it's quite apparent that Garfield greased his weiner. —anfernee |

Sunday, February 10, 2008 at 1:34 PM in the 9th book, there is a run of comics where jon is on a blind date, and she turns out to be fat and ugly. these are funny. the host goes to seat them and john says "we'll have a table." garfield chimes in with "and the lady will have a booth." later, the waiter asks what they will have. garfield thinks, "just run the steer by, and the lady will grab off a hunk." i was like 10 years old, nintendos were 8 bit machines, we didn't have cable and no one had the internet. it was a much different time. stupid things passed as entertainment. anything even remotely funny was given a pass. —plurry |

Sunday, August 3, 2008 at 2:39 AM Garfield Minus Garfield has developed a huge online following by erasing Garfield the cat and his thought bubbles from the original strips, making it appear that his owner John Arbuckle is talking to himself. The result is an “even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life”, according to the site’s Irish creator Dan Walsh. The blog - which publishes a new three-frame strip every day - has attracted millions of hits and rave press reviews since its launch in February. Even Garfield creator Jim Davis, who came up with the idea for a comic about a lasagna-loving cat in 1978, was impressed. Instead of trying to get the site closed down he has thrown his weight behind a new book that will publish his originals and Walsh’s versions side-by-side. The book is being published by Ballantine Books, which has published collections of the original Garfield cartoons since 1980. “I think it’s an inspired thing to do,” Davis said. “I want to thank Dan for enabling me to see another side of Garfield.” Mr Walsh praised the “awesome generosity and humour” of Davis for agreeing to the joint project, and said he was “absolutely honoured” that his tributes were going to be published. Garfield is the most-syndicated comic in the world, appearing in more than 2,500 publications. It has also spawned at least two television series and two feature-length films. —Confident Salmon |

Sunday, August 3, 2008 at 2:42 AM I think I like the possessed cat ones best. Apart from original Garfield.
I don't know if I like Garfield that much, but it makes me all warm and gooey for days that have long gone, and perhaps should never have been at all. —MajandraFan |
