There's a part of me that thinks he knows this but he desperately fumbles around for anything to post about that might get him attention or engagement

I honestly don't think that's it, considering how little attention he's getting and how little effort he is putting into getting it.

Edit: he did use the #cumshots hashtag which resulted in more traction than his tweets have gotten before, so maybe I'm wrong.

Garfield is the only thing that has ever gotten him attention from the wider internet so he keeps going back to it.

If he cared about this thread he would give us Nathfield Episode 4 or tell us what Egeez is.

This 100%. He would see us as “fanvestors” and would be aggressively trying to sell us nonsense.

Yeah he should absolutely not be notified of the forums, but it's hard to deny he'd be an amazing poster for those 8 or so hours before he'd get perma'd.

The six month count down to nothing is so hilarious to me.

First of all, if Garfield is in danger, why wouldn't you "save him" right away. Why give his cruel and perverted masters HALF A YEAR to damage the ip, or directly cover Garfield in gak #cumshots?

Secondly, in six months Nathan won't even remember this was a thing. This is the Google review lawsuit thing again.

Thirdly, even IF a "hostile takeover" of licensing rights was a real and possible thing: Nathan wouldn't have the capital do it. Even if he was in good terms with Sony, he can't buy licensing rights anymore- and presumably, a forced acquisition would be more expensive.

Maybe go back to trying to pass the world's smallest cereal box as art.

He’s going to pay for a glorified Cameo from Jim Davis where he reads off Nathen’s script, “I, Jim Davis, creator of Garfield and respecter of the world’s youngest Garfield licensee Nathen Mazri, hereby bequeath all rights of Garfield to the world’s youngest Garfield licensee Nathen Mazri, from henceforth until eternity.”

Everybody hates escort missions, Mazri has been out there doing side quests and gaining better skills + inventory to keep Garfield alive through the Nickelodeon boss battle

If you haven't seen the Jim Davis video that Nathen played in an endless loop on all of the monitors in GarfieldEATS, I think it's in the OP somewhere and it's pretty weird.

I'm not sure the price Viacom paid for Garfield was ever disclosed so maybe no money changed hands and they just informed Jim Davis that he had six months to give it up.

Nathen Mazri, the anti-pope of Garfield IP rights ownership. Which country will host him to use his claims to further its ambitions?

It's funny, when I was wee I liked Garfield, and I still have a soft spot for him now that I understand the soulless, corporate creation that he is. I can kind of respect Jim Davis in a way, for creating something just designed for making money via comic strips.

I actually found an old book someone gave me in ~1997, a pocket Garfield book called "Have you booted your computer today?", where each pair of pages contains some text, and a bit of Garfield art to go with it,. Not even a comic, just a series of disjointed "jokes". The first page got me thinking - someone was credited with all the writing, and it wasn't Jim Davis. The artwork was literally drawn by "PAWS Inc", not any one person. The cover and spine of the book proudly proclaimed at the book was "By Jim Davis". He's like some kind of licensing genius, like how every drawing of The Simpsons has "Matt Groening" written on it.

But what I really meant to say was I definitely don't think Garfield would be safe with Nathen.

So in that post Nathen tagged a bunch of Canadian media outlets, including @WeAreMel. I'd never heard of it, so I decided to look into it. Not only does it appear to have stopped posting back in 2022, its posts are, uhh...



Their instagram is wild too, with several NSFW posts including "Where In My Brain Is My Spank Bank" and "I Fooled The World Into Thinking Nintendo Made A Naked Mario Toy"

I'm still almost completely certain that the whole "unreasonable landmonster destroying young entrepreneurs" thing was a bullshit lie to cover up the fact that the business failed and went bankrupt but even if that somehow wasn't the case it's clear that he would fail again only maybe the second restaurant would take a little longer to go under

The landmonster thing came about when Nathen was really upset that he had to pay rent for the restaurant and he didn't want to.

As far as I can tell from the little I know about him Jim Davis seems fine. Tried to do a comic he really liked before Garfield, struggled with it a while and it didn't take off, then just went hell with it, might as well do something just really commercial then and found success.

No less ethical than getting a soulless corporate job or whatever -probably quite a bit more than most- and a lot better paid, so good for him.

People say that Garfield was designed to be popular like it's some sort of shameful revelation, as if real cartoonists are supposed to subsist entirely on the laughter of children.
