Garfield

[English assassin]

on a related note, someone named Tailsteak decided to humanize Jon of "Garfield" by re-drawing Jim Davis' work and taking out the thought balloons that make up a majority of the humor of the comic (ie. garfield is not like normal cats in that he doesn't talk/think/have word balloons).

Yeah, that just about sums up how "funny" I find Garfield. I had kind of assumed because of the whole cat/eating/dumb man schtick Garfield's target audience was 40 something divorcees but I guess I was wrong.

Possibly Garfield is less unfunny than Peanuts, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Edit: you know what? The Org hits gold. I checked out those redrawn cartoons and damn me if they HAVEN'T gone from being unfunny cat jokes to a searing expose of the meaningless of Jon's pathetic delusional life. And hence to modern life in general. This is Art folks, happening right here. Hats off to the guy who had the idea.

Garfield was never really that funny to me.

Well that's about how I think about it, though the frog was worse, admit it.

Of course the frog was worse.

If you be disrespecting Peanuts, I'm going to cap a snake on your plane.
