i think garfield needs no introduction. i love garfield so much and it brings me unbelievable amounts of joy! even if i couldn't really tell you why... i just love garf!
i love the comic strips of course, yes they're kind of unfunny but they're just neat to me. especially the older ones from the seventies and eighties.
my favorite comic strips:
9-16-1978 • 3-22-1979 • 1-26-1980 • 3-29-1999 • 8-12-2011 •
4-14-1979 • 8-10-1992 • 4-26-1987 • 4-25-1980 • 8-12-1990
garf merch i own: two plushies (one authentic, one bootleg), a pencil case and a blanket.
i think garfield gets kind of a bad rap. it's not without its problems of course, but i feel like all the ironic memes and gorefield stuff have tainted the general public's perception of garfield, and that makes me kinda sad. i don't think garfield is some sort of beast, and i don't think jon is a bad dude. they're just a wacky guy, his cat and dog and girlfriend and friends.
speaking of friends, check out my shrine for my favorite garfield character.
garfield stuff by me:
• Jon Arbuckle is autistic, trans and bi: a powerpoint about...well, exactly what it says on the tin. kind of a joke but also kinda not.
• Garfield art style evolution: a very biased exploration of the art style changes in garfield.
• Jon Arbuckle was dancing in the lesbian bar (AMV of Jon dancing, set to "I Was Dancing In The Lesbian Bar" by Jonathan Richman)
