according to a new biography charles schulz considered garfield "the ugliest, most vicious and insulting character" he'd ever seen.

looking at those pictures, it struck me for the first time what weird design all the garfield characters have. jon barely even has a nose.

and why does his hair change colour halfway down the back of his head?

national treasure fwiw

can someone find a picture of jon on a date with his gf

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"I found that my cat was completely unresponsive to my overtures until I turned off the refrigerator There was obviously some kind of electrical field interference created by its motor that got in the way of my vibratory connection with Tiger. I bought a new refrigerator but I had to send it back because the same problem occurred. I tried out two more before I found one that doesn't affect Tiger. We now have a much closer relationship and are much nearer to being able to energize through the dance. The thing with the refrigerators certainly made me wonder about how all our electrical appliances and how they affect us!"

where's that site with the garfield comix with garfield's dialogue removed?

I kind of had a crush on Jon Arbuckle as a wee lass...(when I was, not him (I'm pretty sure he never was a wee lass))...

All of these Garfield music videos are pretty awesome, especially "Head Like a Hole" and "Suicide Is Painless".

pp thinks jon is blonde too!

ps: pp is under the impression he is blonde

Yes but he's also under the impression you are blonde.

I hope by this he just meant that Garfield sucked, because the ugly, gross Garfield from the early comics is actually kind of amusing even if the jokes aren't.

You mean the early '78 strips where he's this laconic dropping lard mountain?

yeah, that's a better garfield visually imo.

drooping i mean.

haha yeah that's a much better image for a cat that tells one liners imo.

wtf jim davis

but they would need nasa-grade suction cups to keep 78 model garfield affixed to car windows!

haha no i agree o.g. garfield is fantastic.

I think bringing back tank Garfield means we'd have to revive Lyman, too. Is the world really ready for someone as bland as Lyman?

for a bland guy lyman sure generated lots of rumors...

Hahaha, is that why he went away? And yet they kept Nermal.

wtf

AMG review:

America's zaniest lasagna-eating, owner-abusing cat curates this collection of contemporary jazz/blues/smooth R&B songs themed around his life. No stone is left unturned in paying musical homage to our favorite orange feline. Whether commenting on his mischievous abuse of Odie the Dog, eating too much lasagna, or loathing Mondays, Am I Cool or What? covers it all. Starring a wide-ranging ensemble of artists, including the Pointer Sisters, Natalie Cole, Patti LaBelle, and Lou Rawls, this is a perfect way to not only introduce children to many of these musical styles but to do so in an extremely fun atmosphere.

4.5 stars

Well at least they went ahead and got in the Lou Rawls song.

it's dollar bin staple in america, tbh

I have spent years looking through dollar bins & never seen this thing. Apparently I have a vision problem that prevents me from seeing musical Garfield tie-ins.

So appropriate that it was on GRP too, as this piece I typed up notes.

there is literally no more common dollar bin staple than Garfield jazz CDs, stop OMG FRONTING

I've never seen a garfield jazz CD in my life

went into a German bakery with my shitzu and they were playing Patti LaBelle

OH WOW PRINCESS TAMTAM MY THEORY IS SO FUCKING MISGUIDED

I guess it is!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/AmICoolorWhat.jpg

so, um, this was the first CD I ever owned.

<3

my parents bought it for me (from a bargain bin? who knows) when I won an award for my score on the Johns Hopkins Talent Search, which was a standardized test aimed at getting parents to pay $$$ to enroll their "gifted" kids in correspondence courses at Johns Hopkins. I was disappointed that there weren't more Lorenzo Music (the voice of Garfield) voiceovers. iirc he shouts "here it comes!" during the breakdown in the middle of "Shake Your Paw" and I think John Arbuckle makes a brief appearance, but that's about it. what I really wanted was a soundtrack to the Garfield & Friends TV series, but I guess that's never gonna happen.

there's a great segment on that show where Jon gets a new job at some big shot high-rise office, but he's worried that his new boss will think he's weird because he accidentally comes in to work without his pants on, and out of nervousness he starts singing "doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, dooooooooo!" but it turns out the boss loves him because he, too, comes to work in his underwear, and "doo wop, doo wop, doo wop, dooooooooo!" is his favorite song. they sing a duet (which is def. soundtrack material) and generally get along like old friends, but in the end Jon gets fired because his boss thinks it's weird that he bites his nails.

this may or may not be the same episode in which Jon tries to kick his habit of wearing tuna fish as a hat by playing a record of a soothing voice saying "I will not wear tuna fish as a hat" on repeat all night while he sleeps.

whoa jon was always pretty fucked up but hes really gone down hill

lol

also lol @ "won an award for my score on the Johns Hopkins Talent Search, which was a standardized test aimed at getting parents to pay $$$ to enroll their "gifted" kids in correspondence courses at Johns Hopkins" I won some kind of award for that too but never went to JH for the classes. I don't really remember the details now.

ha, it's a pretty big ego boost for parents to be told "YOUR 11-YEAR-OLD CHILD IS PERFORMING AT A HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL," & even more so for kids who don't realize they're being solicited. my parents took the bait and enrolled me in the correspondence course for like $300. I was really into Jim Kjelgaard back then (which is weird because I was also a hardline "hunting is murder" environmentalist), so for one assignment I wrote a 20-page Kjelgaard pastiche about a game warden who, while chasing evil poachers through the woods, found a turtle with a broken leg and nursed it back to health at the log cabin where he lived alone. I also wrote an epic poem about a squirrel. every month I'd send in one of these assignments and I'd receive feedback from a REAL PUBLISHED POET from Cape Cod who kinda had nothing to do with Johns Hopkins aside from the fact that they paid her. it actually improved my writing skills a lot and made my middle and high school English classes super easy, so I guess it was worth it in the long run.

I also wrote an epic poem about a squirrel.

great gag about 1.5 minutes in when Garfield flips on the tv and an announcer is reciting the names of different cuts of french fries in a monotone while the fries pass by on a conveyor belt.

I was never really into the garfield comic strip too much as a kid but I definitely remember Garfield and friends being one of my favorite shows for a while

the ones where jon keeps getting swindled by that car salesman named (haha) 'mr schwindler' or something like that were classic.

the tv show was entirely written by mark evanier (jack kirby's old assistant and recent biographer, also sergio aragones' long-time collaborator on 'groo') so it was always pretty funny. lots of the same kind of humor as 'groo' -- semi-vaudevillian shtick, non sequitur running gags (remember the 'klopman diamond' garfield used to mention all the time?), etc.

you forgot to mention the talents of lorenzo music

is there anything in here about arbuckle strip?
