I read the Sunday comics sometimes because my dad pulled them out to hang onto for bathroom reading (I never understood why the story kept jumping around so much in Brenda Starr and Dick Tracy) but my school book fairs definitely had a lot of collected editions of old Garfield comics I'd [ask my parents to] buy, too. Sometimes they'd do reprints of the much older collections with Lyman and poo poo in them. It wouldn't surprise me with Super Eyepatch Wolf being outside the US if he didn't get much besides rebroadcasts of the cartoon though.

Jon is still very much a loser in the cartoon though, basically every moment of him on screen is about how uncool and dorky he is it's just that the show also crammed in other characters like the buddy bears, the clown, US Acres, etc so a lot of stuff happened outside the house and 1/3rd of each episode was not even Garfield

By all accounts jim Davis is a pretty good sport about most things as long as they don’t directly gently caress with his meal ticket, which makes sense given how Garfield is an explicitly mercenary enterprise and his open, singular motivation was to make a shitload of money.

He also played with some stranger and darker ideas with the His 9 Lives series and those comics where Garfield hallucinates being abandoned, so he clearly doesn't mind these getting weird with it either. Actually this is why I'm not that interested in SEW's video, because what the internet did to Garfield is really an expansion on what Jim Davis had already done to Garfield.

Along with Pinky & The Brain, it was by far the most important children's cartoon for little me. And it's still amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbL-uxd4ZVw&t=243s My memory of the cartoon is that it did focus on Jon occasionally, and the Christmas Special is great for (among other things) giving us a view of Jon's country family.

Isn't the fake currency purchased with real currency? :E: And can apparently somehow be transferred back into real money? Not sure about that part.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Isn't the fake currency purchased with real currency? my understanding is this: there is one currency you can earn in game or just outright buy. buying currency causes a little popup asking if youre sure. the currency you earn in game is from making games for Roblox, so these kids are literally making the content for company scrip lol the exchange rate is $0.0125 robux = 1 dollar. i think the fact kids are being used as labor is way more concerning than the stuff in this vid, which seems a confused on its mission statement

The thing about Jon is that while he's always portrayed as the biggest loser in the comic strip and the spin=off cartoons, most people didn't really pick up on just how sad a life he leads. A big part of it is because, as the SEW video points out, the audience is always privy to Garfield's thoughts which gives off the impression that Jon has something resembling a rapport going with another character and it kind of makes the audience contextualize Jon as "That guy Garfield plays off of" rather than a character in his own right. Even the fact that all of Garfield's responses are just him thinking at Jon is kind of underplayed in the source material: I remember as a kid it took me a while of watching the show and reading the comics to realize Garfield couldn't actually talk and we were just listening to his thoughts. Also we kind of have the context of looking at the strip with post-Garfield-as-meme eyes. I remember that when the "Edit Garfield Strips to remove his thought balloons" thread was first active on here (And this was pre-2008, before Garfield really became a meme) there were a lot of people posting about how they didn't realize just how sad and pathetic Jon's life was.

Yeah, I was reading the strip in the newspapers when Garfield awoke to find he was the only living being possibly left on earth and... there was no joke. It was just one of Garfield's night terrors, I guess. The 9 Lives series was also wild as one of Garfield's lives ends on him about to brutally murder an old blind woman.

I played a lot of Ocarina of Time and learned a lot of the ins and outs, though I didn’t get into all the crazy bugs the game has. I think I had the version that came after the gold cartridge that still hadn’t fixed all that. Still, I think I learned something from that Running Shine video. I don’t recall knowing that ReDeads we’re blind so you could quietly tiptoe past them.

Bit of a tangent, but seeing Garfield get absorbed and reinterpreted by internet culture has me wonder about the longevity of its contemporary, Calvin and Hobbes. Do the books still pick up new readers, people who weren't millennials that grew up reading the comic? Mind you, I feel like C&H is a subject more resistant to memetic mutation than Garfield. Jim Davis wanted to make a profitable comic with the widest possible audience, so he kept his own voice muted so the comic could be all things to all people. C&H by contrast was very much a vehicle for Bill Watterson to ruminate and reflect upon the world, and as such all the characters and themes are tied to his particular viewpoint. Garfield was designed to be plastic enough that you can easily reshape him into an eldritch horror or a sassy goth girl; you can't do the same to Hobbes without feeling like something is wrong, that you're violating the spirit of his character somehow.

I don't know how much of the difference can be attributed to the writing alone and how much is just because of how pervasive Garfield is. Jim Davis engineered a media and merchandise empire while Bill Watterson is a hermit who breaks into hives if Calvin appears on a T-Shirt. Davis openly embraces his lunatic fanbase so long as they buy his poo poo and Watterson's primary hobby is refusing to give interviews.

Calvin and Hobbes doesn't need memetic potential to stay relevant because it's still Very Good and fresh, every now and then I see a strip get RTd on Twitter a lot without any alterations.

There’s always the pissing Calvin decal as well, though it’s rightly understood as a perversion of everything the comic represents.

It's very impressive how Watterson resisted any merch but comic collections when he could have been as omnipresent as Garfield if he'd wanted.
