To play it safe, let's make sure they're not too similar, so he shouldn't be a hungry fat rear end, or have sarcastic thought bubbles." "So what does he do?"

He had one phrase many strips ago that he just gets reworks as an anagrams and then draws a panel for. Next week: Hard dent room

Every single one of those are better than the whole Garfield oeuvre, excluding the dog semen one.

Yeah I thought Heathcliff would be mediocre because I was only exposed to the cartoon, but once I started seeing the actual comics they're pretty great

It’s a zombie strip run by the kid of the last artist, who has essentially decided “gently caress it, I’m going weird”. It’s wonderful.

Yes, duh. I get the reference, but that doesn’t mean the joke makes any sense. No wonder people prefer Garfield.

It's not genius or entertaining to me, it's just kind of incomprehensible, and sometimes generically bland, and there's a lot of "reference instead of punchline" strips too.

Heathcliff is basically a Dadaist comic strip.

When I was a kid I got made fun of because I got Heathcliff books from the early 80s that my mom bought from garage sales instead of all those shiny Garfield collections from Scholastic mail order forms that were sent home with us. I'm glad to see it's still going strong.

I was a big Garfield fan for a while but I'm not entirely sure how I got into it. I think I went to see both of the Bill Murray movies in the cinema when they came out.

I was going to say that Garfield's hatred of Mondays is a reflection of the fact that he actually loves Jon but can't admit it, so he expresses it by hating Monday when he gets left alone. But then I remembered that Jon is a cartoonist and we see him work from home, so Garfield doesn't even really have any indicators for what a Monday is.

Garfield hates Monday not because of work but because Monday has a supernatural hatred for Garfield and frequently the universe itself will bend to make terrible things happen to him on that day. This is Garfield Canon.

I'm pretty sure for the longest time there was a running gag where on Mondays Garfield would inexplicably get hit by a pie in the face.

There was a series of strips where Garfield was killing spiders in various creative ways and the punchline to each one was Jon finding the dead spider and screaming. I think those are the only ones I still think are really funny
