albany academy posted:Lmao please tell me this is real It's as real as you want it to be. Jim Davis is in a kind of sweet spot, I think, where he could probably do anything he wants with Garfield and no one would notice, but he would still keep on getting paid because of cultural inertia. There always has been a Garfield, at this point, and there must always be one. In a thousand years time, Garfield will still exist. If humanity has progressed, he will be on coffee mugs in the offices of starship captains. If humanity has regressed, wasteland barbarian hordes will rampage and pillage under his banner.

That's definitely real. Jim Davis strikes me as the kind of guy that would go out into the dessert, take dmt, go on a trip where he fucks himself inside Garfield's mouth and then come out of the trip with the resolution that he should just keep doing the same stuff and not change anything because he's just so great. Hallucinogens don't work on some people.

ghost emoji posted:jim davis is paid by the us government to support the lasagna industry a google search for "lasagna consumption on Mondays" yields no results for any academic research on the subject... my theory: people know about Garfield and sometimes eat lasagna on Mondays possible setbacks: finding a control group of people who don't know about Garfield

people who are not good at emotions, nonetheless trying I feel like I just got punched in the face with melancholy. My heart is a 1992 toyota corola wrapped around the oak tree of your indifference. If love were a bar I'd be a Schlitz, but you, my dear, you'd be a mid-shelf bourbon. |

a polter geist who does your chores for you but fucks them up ... for example washes your whites with brights, makes your bed but doesnt do hospital corners, uses hand soap to do the dishes instead of dish soap, etc.

Police were shocked after searching the man's property revealed more than 300,000 unpaid and undocumented workers. "This kind of thing just doesn't happen here. This is a tight knit community, we look out for one another. There's only about 25 of us up here... well, at least that's what we thought....."

*Santa getting wheeled in on one of those Hannibal Lector things with the spit mask* Judge: What are the charges? Bailiff: 3 billion counts breaking and entering, 2.5 billion counts attempting to entice a minor, 5 million counts false imprisonment with the intent to run a sweatshop, 2.8 billion counts- Santa: (interrupting) Ho Ho Ho and I would do it all again too, just to see the look on all those children's faces! Judge: (banging gavel angrily) Get this monster out of my court room! Now!

Hugh Malone posted:Cathy made me legit sad when I was a kid What if Cathy was a subversive feminist meme designed to discourage young women from falling into the hellish existence that is low-level corporate work, like being secretaries, by virtue of Cathy being such a sad and unfulfilled lump? Could Garfield be the same? By showing the raw unprocessed horror of Jon's life, could Garfield be screaming to the world, "DON'T BE LIKE JON"?

They call them the funnies but I don't see what's so "funnie" about them. Garfield is morbidly obese, Ziggy is clinically depressed, The Family Circus is some kind of cult, Dilbert is trapped in a dead end job. They should call them the sadies

Yeah, The Death and Return of Beetle Bailey was a pretty dumb story arc but worse than that was Beetle Bailey: Infinity War where Beetle and the sarge had to kill Funky Winkebean for infecting Marmaduke with the infinity stone. Iirc they had to retcon the whole thing because it interfered with Garfield canon too much.

New From PBS: Mother Goose Murders Across the tracks from Sesame Street two detectives pull onto Gin Blossom Lane. Detective Dumpty: You, yeah you, come over here. I just wanna talk to you. You know the Muffin Man? Suspicious Man: The muffin man? Detective Piggie: The muffin man, lives down on Drury Lane. SM: Ain't never heard of 'im. Det. P: Well somebody fried his rear end last night. SM: Shame. But you know what they say, officer, if you can't take the heat... Det. D strikes the man in the stomach. Det. P grabs his partner and wrestles him toward the crusier: What the hell was that, Dumpty? You wanna lose your badge? Det. D yanks himself free, then leans back into his friends grasp: It's Karen, Lil' P, she. She left me. Det P: She'll come back. She always does. Det. D: Not this time. There's no putting this back together. SM crowding them: I want your badge number, pigs, I want your badge number. Det P: Oh, you wanna take this to a racial place? Is that what you what to do right now, because we are dealing with some real poo poo here, punk. SM: Hey, man, I didn't mean it like that. Look, ahh, here maybe you should just take this, OK? The man passes a flyer to the detective and backs away Det D: What is it, man? Det P, reading: 'I baked my biscuits, not long till the goose is cooked. I've got my bib on, I washed my hands, I'm coming for you -- the Din Din Killer.' |

Man, this director's cut of Ferris Bueller's Day Off could have really been something: SCENE: Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron are sharing a hot tub together. Ferris: Cameron, truth or dare. Cameron: Umm...truth. Ferris: Have you ever kissed anyone? Cameron (sheepishly): No. Sloane glances sidelong at Ferris, who gives her a slight nod. She gives Cameron a long, deep kiss. Sloane (grinning): How was that? Cameron (still sheepish, but grinning): It was...really great. Ferris: Your turn, Sloane. Sloane: Okay...truth or dare, Cameron? Cameron: Truth. Sloane reaches into her big 1980s teenage girl purse and pulls out a giant black revolver with wood grips and at least a six inch barrel. It's a .357 Magnum, easy, possibly bigger. She places it on the edge of the hot tub. Sloane: You ever killed anyone, Cameron? ---------------- |
