Hey, Garfield is the (second) funniest comic I know, SoCalian. And I've read a lot comics. So too bad for you that you don't like him, but don't run it into the ground.
Garfield is horrible. Garfield USED to be funny when Jim Davis actually had them move around and made characters outside of the house. Now he's just burned out and lazy. Most "Garfield" strips are the exact same frame only with different text (look at your first comic up there). Most of the character is gone - what happened to Nermal and Arlene? When's the last time Garfield ate lasangna or kicked Odie off the table? Now they just complain about having no life day in and day out. It is boring!
I used to love Garfield and still do...it's just that Jim Davis seems to have hit a cartoonists block. I'm getting quite tired of the "Huh...I'm bored routine".
Jim Davis doesn't need to worry about any cartoonist's block; he handed the strip over to a staff years ago. The only thing he contributes to it now is his signature.
Garfield used to be wonderful, but now it's gotten old and bland. There are the rare ones that make me laugh out loud like the third one in the 1st post. This is why Dilbert is king, he hasn't and probably will never get old.
I couldn't agree more. Garfield used to be hilarious, but now it's painfully boring & repetitive.
Can't hold a candle to Far Side, or Calvin & Hobbes. Now that's 2 comics that have been around for YEARS, and are still funny(granted they're not being made anymore)
Even Get Fuzzy & Boondocks are way funnier then Garfield, I'd rather stab my eyes out with a rusty hypodermic needle I found laying in the gutter then read a Garfield book published after 94'.
