This is hilarious, or depressing, or just plain creepy, or all three.

It makes me giggle.

Worksafe, although if you loved Garfield as a child, I wouldn't recommend reading it. It will trash your childhood. No, I'm serious.

I did love Garfield during childhood, and my experience was very similar to the poster's - I just sort of grew out of it, and eventually came to the same conclusion that the article did - Garfield wasn't ever going to challenge anyone mentally 'cuz that's just not what he was designed for.

However, I do remember reading that series of strips in one of my grandfather's Garfield collections, and being seriously creeped out by it. So I could see the rest of the strips being Garfield deluding himself whilst slowly starving to death - it would certainly explain their banality, if nothing else. =D

(Also, existentialism!Garfield rocks. I laughed for hours when I first saw that page...)

The most memorable Garfield thing I have seen was the Garfield:9-Lives TV special. A few of the lives were done with the normal voices and style. There were a couple though that were completely different both in tone and visual style. I liked it very much.

I remember reading that series and having nightmares about it for a week. Seriously, I was like 8 or so, and I was clingy as hell toward my family 'cause I was terrified I'd wake up and be alone just like Garfield.
