A Pack of Kobolds posted:Jim Davis thinks so, as long as his checks clear. From that Globe & Mail article: The implication of that quote is that Jim Davis has received less well-rounded concepts from the restaurant industry sector. It really seems a crime those haven't been published or written up somewhere.

Is it some weird kind of money laundering, like they want to have Loony's so they set up suppliers for this insane pizza entergagement, and they buy stuff from their suppliers are jacked up prices and the restaraunt fails but they've gotten the money in and they can.. I dunno buy Canadian politicians or something? And the fact it's so garish and stupid is like their defense that it can't be money laundering?

CJacobs posted:Garfield Minus Sanity The whole concept of Garfield is insanity. It's ostensibly a funny comic about a cat who hates Mondays and like Lasagna. Can you imagine that trying to compete in today's world of webcomics if it didn't already have a readership?

Pastry of the Year posted:Food & Wine did a Garfield Eats writeup The people... the guy, the guy with this idea, it's somehow morally right that this moron do no real work in his life and he fail upwards forever because he's born to money, whereas ordinary people who are not born to money work to the bone every day and worry about health care and stuff.. And everything about this is so loving stupid it's kind of unbelievable. I mean if this was a viral prank by all these media outlets and there was no real location I dont think i'd be surprised.

Sleeveless posted: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. On the other hand, Calvin and Hobbes is good. Garfield is. I don't even know how to describe Garfield.

Tato posted: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. 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.

Big Beef City posted:Imagine being so rich that your globe trotting father sends for you after two years just to gently caress the poo poo out of your mother to celebrate having even more money. Rich people almost have to create a false reality where their wealth and privilege is earned, and they, therefore, must be smart and capable people. Otherwise, they have to acknowledge that they're basically loving monsters. That's why you get idiots like this guy and Trump, failing upwards via their money and insisting they are good businessman, they just got unlucky or whatever.

I love that he had to qualify it like this: 1st Garfield fast food restaurant in Toronto. Have there been other Garfield fast-food restaurants? Other Garfield fast-food restaurants in North America? Canada? risk-taking business owners I guess risking your dads' money is a risk. “youth is an asset, not a liability” — Nathen Mazri Haha he pull quotes himself. Jesus. Awesome unhinged rant where he makes clear that no bad review could be legitimate, and even if it was it wouldn't matter because of the impact to "risk-taking" business owners, obviously all negative reviews are made out of spite. Maybe people are spiteful because they came expecting edible food?

veni veni veni posted:Of all of the things itt I can't wrap my head around the lasagne tissue box still takes the cake. Like, it was full of lasagne right? So you are supposed to take the tissues out of perfectly good tissue box and stuff them in a box that had lasagne in it? Even if they somehow had a way to make it so the box wasn't covered in lasagne remains. WHY? WHY? gently caress Maybe the whole point is just to get you thinking and talking about it. Like one of those commercials that makes no sense and has no real reference to the product. Somehow though I doubt Nathen "spelled wrong" Mazri is some n-dimensional chess master.

The White Dragon posted:his daddy was born into an oil barony, nathen makes donald trump look like a pauper I don't think that's accurate, I think his dad is wealthy but wasn't born into generational wealthy in the same way that DJT was and Nathen is similarly... I'm guessing his daddy has 10-25M US in that range, but manages money for people from what I recall looking into, so stands to make a lot more over time. DJT inherited something like 200m in what like 1970? He should be worth billions by now.

steinrokkan posted:He's the son of a billionaire Middle Eastern (Saudi, IIRC) businessman. Nathen himself is the tpical failson who spent his early years appointed to various positions in his dad's empire, so it's safe to say the costs of running Garfield Eats was basically pocket change. I thought we looked into it and he's not actually the son of a billionaire, more like a ten millionaire, a guy who manages money for billionaires?

I'm sorry I think you'll find he's actually an extremely entergaging youprenteur who pushes the paradigm of brand generation and marketing with his young hip and fresh tactics of being batshit insane and also connects with the kids these days because he's so young and has a vision of spending his dad's money, and if our "democracy" is anything to judge by (the US that is) Mazri is a future PM of Canada. Thank you I will take no questions.
