It's always fun to shit on Garfield, but post some Garfield strips that you consider to be genuinely good

That's fucking lame.

"Protein-enriched drink formulated for pregnant dogs" is just the scientific term for dog semen

I'm almost certain this is a tongue in cheek explanation. It was dog semen.

obvious joke

This puts the old debate to rest, they can clearly read garfield's mind

i literally lolled. jon's still got it (when he deigns to write the comic)

The change in Liz's lip size is weird.

Hahaha! the joke is that Jon is weird!

Nah, that still works if you remove garfield's thought bubbles. She's just monologing to him.

I have read this strip translated to my own language, it is real

That would make more sense than having an open cup of dog semen.

Kek.

Delete this.

Clearly she makes enough money to afford the botox she always wanted.

I haven't read Garfield in ages besides the occasional posts on Yea Forums.
But the new Jim Davis' art and writing seems weird and off to me.

I liked the old strips like this better.

Is this a spongebob reference?

You'd think upsetting the status quo of three decades would have ruined the strip but no

Hah, an inside joke that is actually funny.

It's an edit

Oh.

I was about to go out and enjoy my day having seen this as an official comic but you ruined it. Thanks, user.

I'm genuinly suprised that after this long of time of Jon and Liz being together the story hasn't pushed forward of them getting married and having a kid. This seems like it would be easy writing for years to come as you could write a plethora of new jokes based around Garfield and a marriage, pregnant woman, and baby - teenager.

I never understood this arc as a kid.
Hell, I still don't.

There is a Garfield 3D movie where another edit made it in.

W-what was she doing with that cup of Odie's semen?

>tfw you can't help but read Garfield's thoughts in Lorenzo Music's voice

This is the natural order of the universe.

nazi legs?

That's clearly a sauvastika

Wouldn't the lasagna still be too hot for Goofield to scoop it up like that or is Joe just that big a wimp?

The second one.

>status quo of three decades
No. Only the 90's strips were unchanging and static. That was the era of non-stop recycled jokes with very little happening within the universe. During the 80's Garfield did stuff like join the circus, go on adventures, and meet relatives in his family. During the 90's, they occasionally made a trip to visit Jon's parents, and either go to the beach or go camping every now and then.

The 90's were somewhat of a response to fan reaction to some of the more experimental things in the 80's, made bland on purpose. Seriously, take a look at Garfield's Nine Lives sometime. Compare that to the 90's strips. Eventually Davis figured out Garfield had become well known as the newspaper comic that everyone knew but no one laughed at, and changes began in the early 2000's. Jon got a cell phone, Liz agreed to date him without being tricked into it, Liz became less of a supporting cast member and more main cast. Oddly Arlene still seems to be mostly unused these days.

Arlene does still show up, though. At least 16 appearances in 2018 going by the official site's search engine.

I think it was also partly because of the movie placing Jon and Liz in a relationship.
