Hopefully he sees my posts. I actually have several things in common with Nathan, such as going to the same school as him. I'm also fascinated by the business world and think Garfield is one cool cat!

Notice me Nathan....

This has been going on for 4 years, and there are many important moments on that journey that new thread comers might like to see linked...

How would people feel about a new thread with an op that documents the many important milestones with links to posts and garfield media?

I am not in any way suggesting closing the thread, rather, much like Nathen is doing about every 72 hours, it might serve to be reinvented.

Not sure if that’s the joke but he’s trying to:

A: Establish Nathfield as a “totally unique from a copyright perspective” ersatz Garfield

B: Re-open Nathfield Eats

Neither of these things will happen because Nathen is delusional but this is what he’s trying to do. It’s even plot point in the last podcast episode.*

* I really wanted to put “plot point” and “podcast” in air quotes as well but I feel like it’s too much at this point

BigBadSteve posted:

It'd be funny (and rather tragic) if he did open Nathfield Eats then got shut down a few months later by the DMCAmonster.

What food and drink items would he sell? One might be, "NathJuice... only Nathfield can cleanse this bitch of an earth, but this will cleanse your colon!" Orange, of couse, maybe with added prune juice.

Finally, a way to get Entergaged, because a background song, a wav file of I guess a Garfield catchphrase, and a youtube video all start playing simultaneously.

This entire website and product is hilarious as hell, please visit it if you want to die.

He’s from Dubai I think?? It makes a lot of sense in the way he comes across as an alien attempting to act like a successful human businessman. Except in his case he’s trying to mimic a western capitalism tech/young CEO after google translating all his source material.

Or the Fatal Farm guys are back with their end game Garfield poo poo.

So I tried figuring out where the gently caress the money for this came from. The answer is an amazing failson story. Nathen Mazri's dad is an investment banker called Hayssam El-Masri. He manages multi-billion projects that look like this.



Masri senior also runs a capital firm focused on the food and beverage industry, and a company that manages Canadian food franchises in the Gulf states. Nathen Mazri used to work for his dad's company, along with his brother Mohamed. He also ran a marketing company in Saudi Arabia, sponsored by fellow failson Shiekh Fahad Abunayyan. Here's Nathen giving a very confusing presentation to Saudi prince Mohammed bin Saud Al Kabeer.

But Nathen is not just a businessman, he's a Renaissance Man. In true failson fashion, he's also a UCB graduate, a failed director and actor, and an author published under a vanity label. This is the sole production of Mazri Pictures.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRvo9kpZLX8

His "self-help memoir" is something else.



MAZRI'S 10 LAWS TO CONVERT FROM Feeling species into Thinking species

Nathen Mazri has become like a prisoner for injustice, like a soldier fighting for his life, and like a survivor thriving out of the kingdom for his freedom. All Nathen wanted was to feel alive.

Nathen, a young Arab-Canadian man is leaving Laval in the French province of Quebec with his family to settle in a soon to be discovered a tyrannical kingdom of Arabia in the middle of the desert sinking his soul in monotony, an unspoken epidemic, and defeated by suppression for over 12 years of his life lingering with broken dreams, Scoliosis, sexual identity crisis, bipolar disease, and the struggle to claim true elusive love.

So Garfield Eats is either being bankrolled by his oil investor dad, or is being funded directly by some other Gulf failson with his own index fund. Meanwhile his Chad brother Mohamed still works directly for his dad, while creating his own oil-based crypto which the Saudis are probably going to use to fund terrorism or something.

Nathen did an incredible interview with The Globe and Mail, which explains why the gently caress he chose Garfield. The whole interview is insanity.

Goupons – like the company Groupon, or Garfield-branded coupons?

Like “coupon,” but I just used G because of Garfield. I’m all branded. How did I connect to Garfield? It’s really destiny. My mother used to bring me Garfield comic books. She used to hide them behind her back, and whenever I’d get an A or A+ – maybe a B+ – she used to come and surprise me with them. My first language was French, so I learned English with comic books.

And there’s relevance – Garfield does eat pizza, lasagna, coffee, spaghetti. It makes perfect sense. I’ve done my research in order to infuse the same brand values with it. So it’s not Garfield “themed” – it is created with the intention of building a GarfieldEATS empire or chain.

... It took me about a year to [perfect the recipes with a chef in London]. We hopefully will be known for our GarfieldEATS “secret sauce.” It is orange-y. So orangey. No artificial colours. No preservatives. Tomatoes, when you blend them, they become orangey.

quote:

A lot of these plans deal with popular tech buzzwords. If people see them together and wonder how realistic that is, what is your response?

Come check it out. I haven’t even started. Look at our boxes – our pizza boxes all have perforated lines, so that our pizza boxes become pizza plates. We call it our “re-box” program. Our lasagna boxes become tissue boxes – the top part is perforated like a Kleenex box. I haven’t even started. We want to enter into robotic kitchens. We want to be able to do mass production. We want to invest in artificial intelligence.

This is the mysterious other guy on the website, who is probably scamming him.

quote:

You list Pascal Haider of Austria on your website as a partner – is he your only investor?

We both finance it, but he’s my co-founding partner. We’re equal. [Reached by phone, Mr. Haider confirmed the two were the company’s main investors, but declined to say how much each has invested.] He came with me, and met with Jim Davis, and I just feel – everyone asks me if I’m excited. I’m actually nervous because I feel a huge responsibility for this cartoon. And if I screw it up, I feel like it could be jeopardy for the entire business, the entire legendary ecosystem of Garfield and the 400 licensees of Jim Davis. So I have a huge responsibility: the pizza must be delicious. And you know that our pizzas are Garfield shaped?

I actually passed by it last night but it was late and closing soon so I didn't get a chance to order anything.

I might be back in the area today. If so I'll at least try and grab a Garfaccino.
