The only difference between this guy and Musk is that he clearly has a garfetish, otherwise he'd be on the VC train to easy Street

I don't really understand any of this but there's something really charming about the garfetish in my mind.

Jim announced that he's going to put on weekly auctions all hand-painted Garfield comics made from 1978 to 2011. As Davis explained, he started drawing comics digitally using a graphics tablet  in 2011. Older comics, still, were sealed in a climate-controlled safe and Davis had to figure out what to do with them.

I think it's more like he contacted museums and stuff and nobody gives a poo poo about Garfield strips, so he's hoping the free market will solve his problem of storing his historic "art" so that future generations can "enjoy" it.

I posted a lovingly handcrafted oil painting of Jon making sweet love to Garfield in the cursed images thread (tagged NWS) and got probed for it. It is one of the greatest injustices of our times.

That's the thing, he's very smart at business which is why the comic is so bland.

GarfieldEats is a failure, but its very existence reminds everyone that Garfield exists and here we are, talking about a bland comic strip mascot through no effort from Jim Davis. It's not like he's the one sinking money into this insanity, after all.

theres a 0% chance they actually have a deep fryer so my guess is its baked
theres only one person working there because they get no business

nathen, still available for consultation. $120k for 10 hours of consultation + 10 hours of strategy.

Hmmm. But do you consult on increasing the entergagement levels of consusers??? Or just some dumb bullshit like selling products people want at reasonable prices?

Garfield does that thing where it's the same gag for a week or more at a time. Like Garfield smashing spiders, Garfield kicking Odie off the table, Garfield needs coffee, etc.
