from here: https://www.thestar.com/life/2019/06/07/we-tried-the-pizza-and-lasagna-at-new-garfield-themed-restaurant-and-heres-what-happened.html

I counted six pepperoni slices on the entire pizza and as a co-worker bit into a slice, she said, “I’m not sure if I ate the pizza or the box. The crust was really cardboardy and the pepperoni didn’t taste real.”

The lasagna didn’t quite match what I saw on the menu, either. The “cowboy cut strips” looked more like ground beef and I couldn’t taste any of the tomato sauce that’s pictured on the lasagna on the menu.

Is one of the services available from the Garfield Eats app one where instead of food being delivered to my house it is, in fact instead a man that looks and dresses like Jon Arbuckle who breaks into my home and screams at me for not getting out of bed and being too fat and lazy?

Man it's wild how my esteem of Jim Davis and Bill Watterson has basically inverted over the years. I used to admire Watterson as a principled genius and then reading his commentated collection came away feeling like he was an obnoxious crank who just turned his comic into a mouthpiece for his arguments with his publisher.

Jim Davis let Garfield Without Garfield get published and only had Lasagna Cat remove his contact info from one of their videos while Watterson is still issuing takedown notices on fanart and student animations out of spite.

It seriously rules that Bill Watterson destroyed his life and his sanity in the name of maintaining the purity of *newspaper comic strips*, a medium that was already decades past it's prime at the time and which was already fading into irrelevance with the internet springing up over the course of its life. Of he really truly cares about pure expression of creativity unfettered by editors and advertisers people have been using the internet for 20 years and the only thing stopping him from doing the same is pure misanthropic spite.

Meanwhile Jim Davis is Rich and comfortable and indirectly inspires teams of weird outsider art that has far more purity of expression than Bill Watterson's Shower Arguments With His Agent As Laundered Through A Fictional Child #639

You're right, Watterson totally should have licensed some official stickers of Calvin pissing on things. He would be a good and respectable man today if he had done that.

There are no stickers of Garfield pissing. Because Jim Davis is pro-active and took charge of things. You have Garfield suction cupped to windows, but never pissing.

Bill Watterson's apathy has led to Calvin pissing everywhere, world-wide. No car manufacturer logo or religious symbol is safe. Just a boy pissing over everything we hold dear. All because Bill Watterson didn't have the guts to take control of his creation.

The circle will be complete when Bill Watterson finally dies and someone sticks a Calvin pissing sticker on his headstone.

TBH I don't really hate Watterson for not wanting his stuff to be merchandised to hell and back. He's pretentious but the world doesn't really need more plastic poo poo from China that's just gonna end up in a landfill anyway.

I'm glad he isn't all over social media or something, he'd probably be a huge turd.

This is an interesting take. Have you considered that the reason there are no Garfield pissing on things stickers is that nobody gives a poo poo about Garfield other than laughing at the existence of Garfield? And Watterson absolutely proactively took control of his creation, he didn't want it merchandized. I would say Davis sold out, but I don't feel like cartoons about a fat cat that hates Mondays are really artistic to begin with it's just an inexplicable thing that caught on.
