Why exactly does Garfield hate mondays? He's a cat, he doesn't have to wagecuck

You are confusing cause and effect. Garfield's catch phrase only resonated because people already felt that way about their lot in life, and arguably for good reason.

Wait, who doesn't enjoy shitting?

IIRC originally Monday was cursed for Garfield and he had terrible luck on that day with just about everything going wrong for him in unexpected ways. I don't think they do that gag anymore though idk.

>that pic
Because money buys nice things.

>Monday sympathizer
I bet you hate Saturdays.

Bukowski was a whiny drunk that did nothing but be a fuckboy and didnt even get famous until he was almost dead.
The only people that admire his faggot daddy-issues self are other drunks and wagecucks wishing they had actual skills to make money.
This whole horseshit whining about "ohhhh, how dare I have to WORK for money, ohhhh, how dare I be expected to develop actual skills and knowledge if I want to support myself" is the shittiest, faggiest goddamn thing ever.

Early Garfield pondered a lot of philosophical shit. Then it got more surreal and partially funny in the 80’s. 86 onward is when it got as awful as it is

Particularly the "grateful for the opportunity to do so" part. People forget that before wage work became the norm, most people were peasants or worse who lived in the kind of grinding poverty that has been all but eliminated from the first world. And that modern people in the third world flock to sweatshop work if it's available because it's a lot better than the alternatives.

He just has very bad luck on Mondays.

The problem is less that man needs to work to put food on his table, but that the vast majority of labor relations in the world today are exploitative. Even in first world countries where wageslaves are leading a comperatively comfortable existence. Yet slaves they remain, as they not only work to put food on their own table, they work so their bosses can afford luxuries and they work so state officials can live off their taxes. Most people work most of the year for the benefit of a small elite who reap most of the rewards of all that work. There is a reason why the richest 1% own half the wealth on earth (and rising) and the reason is not because they worked for it. The reason it that other people worked for all that wealth and the elite are in a position to syphon it off. If wealth was distributed more justly, people would not need to spend two thirds of their waking lifes under the heel of their bossman. They could enjoy more freedom and leisure. But the social hirarchy in our current system won't allow it. The workers need to slave away so that the 1% may live in obscene luxury. How can anyone be surprised that the workers would resent this? How can anyone be surprised they dread the start of another 40h work week that could be 20h if they weren't slaves?

Because Mondays hate him.
>SPLUT!

the protip is to find a profession you enjoy + being as independent as possible.
That way you satisfy your anti merchant complex and dont mind working, because you like it.
I aspire to be an illustrator for example.
Otherwise people work because it holds you over water, almost no one enjoys the average wagie job. I guess this is more of a poke at the american dream/worker spirit that was more popular and promoted at the time. Nowadays almost everyone genuinely hates work

this guy felt this way in 1975, while there were still powerful labor unions in most of the country, and before the first massive round of tax cuts for the rich that would define Gen-X's formative years, and before Wall Street learned that investors could make lots of short-term money by taking profitable and productive companies, shutting them down, and selling all their assets.

how would Charles Bukowski feel about Amazon's meat-grinding warehouses, about the no-benefits gig economy, about the 7-day work week everyone under 30 has?

>7-day work week

Indeed, the Mondays joke is if anything outdated. In today's economy, people hate every day.

that's just capitalism for you. The system america made itself. You need to be self standing, but yet a lot of mediocre people can't. They will rely on free market tactics that trap them, like merchants that let them do the dirty work
They are slaves to their survival, because you can barely survive any other way in this system, unless you are talented and skilled.
The only people rambling about this are infact the mediocre ones who know what could be but either dont try or are incapable of doing so.

He can’t tell weekdays aparts, it’s just a catchphrase.

So each time he feels sad or angry he thinks it’s monday

>The only people rambling about this are infact the mediocre ones who know what could be but either dont try or are incapable of doing so.

No they aren't. Though if someone who is rich says anything about this, people will ree that "you're rich yourself so you can't say anything!!"

Bacially:

>Poor person: "being poor and capitalism sucks"
Rich person: "Being poor and capitalism sucks"

Are there comic strips of him expressing his hatred for Mondays that are dated for days that weren't Mondays?

stuffing your face as usual

Because calendars merchandise. You have no idea how much money those things make

>>distributed more justly
Wealth isn't distributed, it's built. And who decides what is "just?"

Cringe.

Wealth is distributed away from those who build it, generally from bottom to top. That is just a fact. If wealth distribution was fair, those who build wealth would get to keep most of it. No more politicians who can freely waste the money robbed from taxpayers. No more banksters who get rich from manipulating numbers while doing nothing productive at all. No more landlords who receive a continous stream of rent just because they have hogged more real estate than they need in order to rip off those who do need it for shelter. There should only be one class of people, a class of workers who work to support themselves and not a myriad rent seeking parasites. That would be justice.

LOL

Try making money without workers.

Man finding this made be realized why they changed Garfield design to look more normal standing. This is just weird looking

Try getting a job without someone else giving it to you. Both are possible, btw.

Happens all the time.

I still don’t believe this one is actually in the movie, I still gotta actually watch the scene to know

Mostly the pies 'spluts'... At least in the animated adaptations...

My cat probably hates Mondays because that's when the garbage truck comes and it's loud as hell

I'm convinced this was a fan-edit, even if PAWS did get a kick out of it.

Garfield hates Mondays because Jon has to work and he misses him and he loves him.

That is really gay.

Garfield doesn't care what you think. Jon takes care of him. they're family.
