Is it just me, or is Garfield a meme character near the level of Pepe? He's literally the source of a shitton of internet shit.

"Garfield minus Garfield" was the first off-kilter Garfield variation I encountered. The oldest strips like that originate from early 2006.

Their predecessor for all the "creepy Garfield" content might've still been in the source material, though. There was that storyarc where Garfield imagines that he's been abandoned alone in his home, and that "Garfield: His 9 Lives" TV special and the comicbook.

If something is unoffensive and wholesome, it is fun to corrupt, most people see Garfield as wholesome and unoffensive.

Paper Townes is the best borf star part for the record.

The meme goes way back to 1988 with the Nine Lives of Garfield, where one of Garf's incarnations is a lab animal with shape-shifting abilities.

reminder that garfield is just a shitty knockoff of heathcliff, which predated it by 5 years
