oh neat, this site lets you search for text appearing in all Garfield speech/thought bubbles between 1978 to 2007.

lol @ apteryx

"between 1978 and 2007," rather (xpost to me)

this is ruined by the last panel, much like LOST was ruined by the last episode, but still:

if/when Jim Davis ever has the sense to retire, he really ought to run this as the final strip, provoking a debate to rival the Sopranos closer, viz. "does the black panel represent Garfield's death or just the grim mundanity of suburban WASPy living?" and "fuck this, I'm canceling my Times subscription." and Davis's eloquent rebuttal:

The way I see it is that Garfield had been people’s alter ego. They had gleefully watched him eat, grumble, vegetate, sleep, and eat. They had cheered him on. And then, all of a sudden, they wanted to see him punished for all that. They wanted "justice." They wanted to see his distended orange belly splattered on the wall. I thought that was disgusting, frankly. But these people have always wanted gluttony. Maybe they would have been happy if Garfield had eaten twelve other goldfish. Or twenty-five goldfish. Or, who knows, if he had eaten the moon. The pathetic thing- to me- was how much they wanted his blood, after cheering him on for thirty years.

Don't stop...bingeeating...

wonder how many vore hard drives this has made it onto

if/when Jim Davis ever has the sense to retire

didn't he stop making the strips himself back in like the '80s?

according to Slate:

In his 1982 interview with Shapiro, Davis admitted to spending only 13 or 14 hours a week writing and drawing the strip, compared to 60 hours a week doing promotion and licensing.

But today Davis spends even less time on the strip than he used to—between three days and a week each month. During that time, he collaborates with another cartoonist to generate ideas and rough sketches, then hands them over to Paws employees to be illustrated.

...which makes about as much sense as David Lynch employing an art department to illustrate The Angriest Dog in the World. JDav should definitely computerize that shit.

Hmmm, so what was the artist really saying here

I'm not sure if this is Jim Davis releasing 30 years of pent-up self loathing or Jim Davis's ghostwriter outing himself as a sleeper agent for the anti-Garfield cabal, but I like it.

Oh my god.

lolwut

haw

unreg, just stumbled across your dodgy shag story of a profile, top work

lol @ the one pplains posted

ha, thanks (xpost). I'm not sure what impulse led me to research the dimensions of cormorants in the fall of 2013, but there must have been a reason for it. ilx profiles are a sorely underappreciated art, but I saw a really good one the other day (just wish I could remember whose)

really just the last panel and that cronenbergian jug thing

^^ Pretty good "Garfield Speech Balloons Removed" strip on its own!

Garfield is actually terrified because Jon has taken to filling the creamer with dog cum.

I remember reading the cum drinking strip as a child and being confused

I'd be way more concerned if a child wasn't confused by that strip.

I'm pretty sure I got it. Why wouldn't a kid know about semen?

this is a surprisingly good thread, ilx should be put in charge of editing a one-volume "all the funny garfield strips" edition.

typical scando-ilx

Why is an anthropomorphic cow slapping Jon? Why is the punchline revolving around the fact that he burned the patties? Shouldn’t the cow be mad about him eating cows in general? Why isn’t Jon terrified at the sight of this monstrosity? Why does this comic exist? pic.twitter.com/SwFFYn1sm0
