Garfield: "No more of the getting older stuff! *bangs hand on table*
*garfield has lines under eyes*
*holds left wrist* Garfield (looking odd): "Ow..."
...Is Garfield going to die!? ONO! Is this realy the end of the Garfield series? Say it isn't so...

I was merely describing what was going on the strip's frames... I think Garfield had a heart attack and is going to die!

Uh.. what? I doubt they'd show Garfield dying in the comic as a way of ending it.. and any comic is bound to end sometime anyway, when the drawer doesn't want to draw anymore comics, and when there isn't anyone else willing and able to pick it up..

Btw, who's drawing the Garfield strips anyway, or are they still being drawn?

Meh, I have no clue about Garfield strips..

Well, Garfield is a 26 year old cat. When I get home, I'll read, and get back to you. BTW, Jim Davis does Garfield.

Clockworkz: Dude, do you know humor? (Don't answer that it's rhetorical.) Garfield simply pounded his hand onto the counter and, in doing so, hurt it. Sheesh.

HE'S NOT GOING TO DIE THAT'S JIM DAVIS' WRITERS' HUMOR WHICH IS NOT IN THE LEAST BIT FUNNY HAVE YOU NEVER READ THIS SHIT OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD *EXPLODES IN LARGE LETTERS*

...
(1) Garfield won't die, there is not just and loving God to grant that wish (2) Gag-A-Day artoon characters have died, Jim Davis killed the main character of his first comic strip because it was unfunny (3) Jim Davis won't stop a damn thing until he's licked every inch of the money well (4) This has got to be a joke (5) Speculation is not a spoiler (6) You were kidding, right? (7) Who died in For Better or for Worse? (8) This is fun

YD - Farley the dog died years ago, and I think there was a pet bunny or something that croaked a while afterward. There might have been one or more human deaths, but I'm not sure.

Ohh.. an animal death. That's a different situation.. if the animal is not the main character (Garfield), then cartoonists can get away with that. It even happened in Calvin and Hobbes (anyone remember the racoon?)

What? That was just flat out retarded. I'm justified. >( And I said in my post, "(3) Jim Davis won't stop a damn thing until he's licked every inch of the money well". Or if he dies.
It doesn't matter that Garfield isn't getting younger. Do you know a 26 year old cat?

Ziff, there's a different between spam and dumbassery. =\

Garfield used to be funny. Now it's just freaking stupid. It's like The Simpsons: The old ones were gold, but the new ones suck in comparison. Garfield always talks about how he's getting old. Nothing new.

But by definition, look at the FAQ

- What is considered "spam" at the board?

Spam is making:

- A post that is off-topic, meaning that it has nothing to do with the original thread.
- A post that is only a few words long and doesn't contribute anything meaningful to the discussion.
- A thread that doesn't have any real meaning.
- A thread with a poll that is pointless.
- A thread that is an exact duplicate of a pre-existing, recent thread.

If you feel that a thread is spammy, then PM or IM an admin and ask them to take a look at it. Don't ask for someone to take a look at it in the thread itself or lecture the poster on the dangers of spamming.



Intriguingly, this thread had next to no real meaning, and was poorly typed.

Back on topic, Garfield was never funny. When a child, I found it awesome, but I went back and looked at my paper cuttings. Not funny.

According to the book "In Dog Years I'd Be Dead," Jim Davis mentioned something about not retiring because he's having too much fun. (That book was a sort of compilation thing that was made last year in honor of Garfield's 25th anniversary, btw.) Although, quite frankly, either he's joking or he does so little as far as the actual comic strip is concerned that he's pretty much retired already. I mean, hell, if I was paid boatloads of money to essentially sign my name on stuff, I wouldn't want to retire either.

Anyway...the comic WAS funny at one point, but that was years ago. Nowadays it just seems like random stuff thrown together.

As for the comic that was the original point of this post (I think) - I'm pretty sure that was a reference to the fact that Garfield's "birthday" is coming up soon. Or it may have passed by now, I forget exactly what day it is. But it's in early June, at any rate.

And for one last bit of random trivia - I've heard cats can live as long as 30 years, but I've never personally seen one that old.

The grandmother died in For Better or for Worse in addition to the charachters already mentioned. Its one of my favorite comics because it hardly gets repetitive.

His hand is hurting because he whacked his hand on the table.

It doesn't take a supersluth to figure that one out.

Maybe if Pookie was kidnapped, though... Or Monday the 13th... Or Odie bizarrely becoming pregnant ()...

>.> Garfield's birthday is on June 19th. I remember reading the birthday strip (or series in this case) last year. It was a change (since he met his old self), but still didn't please comically.

*puts his two cents into the thought jar*

See, what I'd like to see come back to the dry, old strip is fun. After going over my "Garfield's Twentieth Anniversary Collection," I noticed that there was more to Garfield besides his weight and there was more to the strip besides that stupid counter. Garfield used to go on vacations, have other, alternate identities (i.e. Banana Peal Man), and sometimes, I know I shouldn't say it but, he was somewhat, remotely funny. Now, when it comes to humor, he may have never been able to achieve the greatness of "Pearls before Swine" or "The Boondocks," but he could entertain at times. The thing is . . . Garfield and the strip have lost their dimension. Now, if only Jim Davis (who is 58 years of age, so we have several more years left of that fat cat) would take him off the counter and put him in different situations much like the ones Kasumi thought up (except the Odie becoming pregnant one,) the strip may just regain its edge.

. . .

Yes, I'm done.
