So, I am a big Garfield & friends fan. My first Garfield book was when I was vacationing in Colorado with my grandma and my cousin showed me the book "Garfield takes the cake." But, I always had a different outlook on Garfield comics, and as so, I will share that outlook with you.
I will start from the Garfield timebase at the beginning of the year 2007, and work my way up to the lastest comics.
And I will only explain ones that I want to.
First panel, Jon and Garfield often spend their whole day staring at eachother, hoping somebody starts a conversation. Although, I'd like to add the fact that Jon cannot hear Garfield's thoughts, only read them by his body language and facial expressions. In the next panel, Garfield's teeth are over-exaggerated, even for a cartoon. Cats have pointed teeth. And another thing that gets is the fact that he's
laughing. I don't think a cat has very much lung capacity.
In the last panel, Jon goes back to serious face, telling Garfield that they ought to make a resolution, and you can tell that from his face, he knows it's quite a futile effort. Whereas Garfield tries to cease the moment and be the funny cat, as you see his main drive is to be better than Jon.
First panel. God, this is silly. Jon wants Garfield to lose 50 pounds. For Garfield's weight, as a cat that would be more than eighty percent of his body weight. And that would also kill Garfield.
Second panel, Garfield again uses the moment to build up an insult to look like a superior cat. But again, Jon does not understand him as he has the same expression as always.
Last panel, Jon notifies Garfield that he's only kidding, as you see. But really, though, is he kidding? He's told Garfield the same thing over a basis of thirty three years, why would he be kidding now? Oh yes and Garfield is being the typical Garfield.
Why is he intentionally putting his pants on backwards? What would make somebody do this? If it's not intentional, no wonder he ponders about seeing a therapist. This guy is a nutcase.
And the second panel is funny because he screams so loud right in there. I don't know how to explain it, but it's silly for the fact that he just realizes it's a problem, and yells it even when nobody around to his knowledge understands. This guy really needs help.
The last panel concludes is unusual, as Garfield doesn't crack a joke. All he does is state that Jon made an entire resolution about not putting his pants on backwards. As a small resolution, it seems nothing happens in the house at any time. I would expect him more to say something like "And it's anybody's guess to how he even got out of bet this morning".
The first panel shows that Jon has a chance with Liz. It true shows when a woman loves you so much, when they are the ones giving
YOU candy. It warms my heart that Liz cares so much about Jon, and not just Garfield. They're the perfect couple. A boring, socially disfunctional man and an interesting, caring woman. As you see, Garfield is shocked in the first panel from the fact that he's getting fudge.
The second panel is odd, just sort of a super lightning nothing going on.
The last panel is funny, Garfield is so shocked that he's both getting fudge, and the fact that Liz couldn't eat it all. What a concept indeed.
Again, it had to be done intentionally. Jon could
NOT have noticed this. He wears jeans, I think he could tell the difference between jeans and a sweatshirt.
"There's something wrong with my richard"
Implying Garfield is not the one giving a headache, how the hell could Jon see Garfield from behind himself? Jon can't hear Garfield.
Or more in-depth, what if Garfield is actually a Tumor inside of Jon that makes him hallucinate?
The first panels includes the dog's first appearance in the year of 2008. So far, the strip tells us dogs take things too seriously in the world of Garfield. And Garfield tops it off with sarcasm.
Either Garfield slept five times in the day..or it was his best out of five naps he considers out of all his naps for the day.
Either way, Garfield needs braces in the second panel
Either the Yarn ball has control over his "body", or Garfield didn't get a good day's rest.
Seriously, this is Jon's pastime.
Being as boring as hell.
And it seems Garfield is just always trying to pop out a gag, no matter what.
Why would he make a snow version of something he despises?
Should I go outside and make a snow raisin?
And did Garfield just waste food?
Jon should just kill Garfield, he does nothing important except undermine Jon.
How the hell does somebody mistake a toy ball ringing for a phone ringing?
Jon is an idiot.
Jon has tumors.
And Liz must be blind.
Jon must be made out of money, I mean he keeps spending money on birds and fish for Garfield to eat.
And hasn't anybody noticed that Garfield is a cold-blooded killer?
You lost since you're moving in the next strip.
Jon's sarcasm is always funnier than Garfield's because Jon isn't trying to be as hurtful and mean.
If a ball of yarn's child would be a smaller ball of yarn, wouldn't that mean that the piece of string is a result of incest?
