i just mean the saturday morning one, btw, not the halloween and christmas specials and the one where they go camping or whatever. those were ok i guess, but the regular cartoon had a completely different flavor to it and i don't even really associate it with the comic strip.

Jim Davis is a tool. When I was nine there was this big charity golf tournament featuring famous comic strip artists in Sarasota, Florida, my hometown at the time. I went and got sketches and autographs from tons of folks (including a dude who I thought was Hal Foster, who looked like death, which would've made sense, as Foster had been dead for four years at that point; the guy in question was actually John Cullen Murphy). All of them were amazingly nice and gracious and truly magnanimous etc etc, EXCEPT for Davis, who refused to draw Orson from US Acres as requested, and instead quickly crapped out an almost unrecognizable Garfield doodle. He then peeled out in his golf cart, splattering me and my dad with mud, and completely ruining the near priceless photograph of Stan Lee and I playing touch football with each other. That didn't happen, but the rest of this overlong paragraph is complete Truth.

Sarasota was home to comics people. Cathy, Dik Browne, the dude who did Cap'n Vincible: what a legacy.

The cartoon has its moments, but when was the last time any of you saw it? I watched it semi-regularly in 2003/2004 for nostalgic reasons, and there's something really swarmy and lazy about it - especially the endless resorting to meta and fourth-wall breaking.

Didn't Jim Davis stop doing the strip (many) years ago and he spends his days doing "artistic" oil paintings of Garfield or somesuch? A friend claimed to have seen the store where these are sold for thousands, completely ridiculous.

Garfield Minus Garfield

That's such an atsronomical improvement. In fact I laughed non-stop while reading those.

What a colossal improvement! Really funny. Thanks.

I think just removing Garfield's speech bubbles was a better idea. Jon as a sad, lonely man talking to his cat was somehow funnier than Jon as a sad, lonely man talking to the thin air.
