Next Garfield movie should be based on Garfield minus Garfield. Make it a Vampires Kiss type movie.

Only if they film it with Garfield in all of the scenes, and then afterward digitally take him out.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

Only if they film it with Garfield in all of the scenes, and then afterward digitally take him out.

Would be a good idea even more if someone would edit the Garfield CGI movies & edit out Garfield in every scenes with Jon.

I clicked to make sure that Lasagna Cat was mentioned.

WATCH LASAGNA CAT, GAF

 

[Mrs. Manky]

Jon is clinically depressed, schizophrenic, suffering from hallucinations and an inmate at an asylum. Garfield, Odie and Liz never existed anywhere but in Jon's imagination.

What about Lyman?

 

[temp]

It's just, why would you take Garfield out of the frame, you know? The funny thing is that he's talking to a cat. If you take out the cat, you totally change why Jon's crazy.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

What about Lyman?

Jon killed him, claiming 'Garfield' had told him to do it. That was the final straw, and what caused Jon to be locked up at the mental institution.

Jim Davis has jokingly explained Lyman's sudden disappearance and long absence from the strip on different occasions either by saying that Lyman joined the Peace Corps and was then never heard from again or by saying, "Don't look in Jon's basement."

 

[bengraven]

No, he could read his expressions though.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Garfield couldnt' talk.

 

[The Awesomest]

Jon would have been perfect for Cathy

I'm sure there's fanart out there...

Quick! To the "Awesome" fan art thread!

Realfield is best field.

This thread is amusing tho.

 

[WordAssassin]

It's been established that Jon can't understand Garfield. There was this one short story about disaster hitting the city and Garfield showing that they can speak human language though. He spoke to warn Jon of disaster. Odie can't speak though.

Really? Is this anywhere online?

 

[waypoetic]

I understand my cat just fine.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Fucking lol'd.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I understand my cat just fine.

Do you feed it pizza lasagna?

Garfield fucking sucks so bad

So does Beetle Bailey and Hägar the Horrible.

[EVOL 100%]

Isn't there an official Garfield strip where Garfield is dying or something? Was kind of chilling

 

[Davey Cakes]

what is this

Gesturing. Obviously an owner learns his or her pet's unique body language. Cats meow and purr to communicate but they do other things as well.

In both cases in that strip, Garfield is pointing to the object of interest so I'm pretty sure it's merely a case of "Jon gets the gist" rather than "Jon understands Garfield's words."

Awful.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Awful.

Of course it's awful, it's Garfield.

Yeah.

 

[yogloo]

probably not.

Lol. This is actually really funny.

Garfield minus Garfield is avante garde as fuck...and up there alongside Calvin and Hobbes and FarSide.

He's pointing to the steak sauce. If Jon understands, it's because of a gesture.

As many years as I've been reading Garfield, I've NEVER seen Jon with his body drawn forward.

Also, his eyes in the 3rd panel, wtf

 

[Joni]

He's pointing to the steak sauce. If Jon understands, it's because of a gesture.

And he took the bottle.

 

[Maron]

Garfield used to be good, but Jim Davis is the poster-child for selling out. Not even the merchandising, but the way the strip grew to be written by a "team" of like ten+ people.

Where can I find more info on this?

The right side completely cracks me up. Like those "Garfield go back to bed" ones.

 

[scy]

You know, reading these Garfield Without Garfield strips side-by-side with the originals ... Garfield isn't really doing much in some of them. It's really just removing a witty remark to Jon's antics anyway.

Of course, there's exceptions but ... yeah.

what is this

Something one of Davis' easel monkeys whipped up. It's both illuminating and amusing to realize that one can't even tell.

Spoiler

Well, I guess you can, if nothing else by seeing that the comic is effectively in stasis. Even a Tim Buckley has improved by now.
