I guess all that is left is to dig into whatever bullshit he put into his self published "Arabiolosis". Judging from his twitter, its probably all fake-self help b.s. with a smattering of right wing bootstrap pulling. Pretty rich coming from an silverspoon heir.

Any political bias in the book would be pretty irrelevant, since Nathen's 10 Laws to Convert from Feeling Species into Thinking Species make little sense grammatically, logically, or psychologically.

I found a late 2022 podcast about Nathen's book Arabiolosis by Terrible Book Club.

It's their 30 Aug 2022 podcast, currently at the top of this list:
https://www.owltail.com/people/IO6e5-nathen-mazri/appearances

It's 1.5 hours long, and pretty funny throughout. Some highlights:
  • On GarfieldEATS: "There were other very bizarre things about this, besides the concept and the fact that the food was largely terrible."
  • On Nathen's videos: "The Tommy Wiseau levels are off the charts when you watch anything with Mr Mazri in it."
  • On Nathen himself: "There might be something askew mentally which makes me a little concerned."
  • On Arabiolosis:
    • "When you are fabulously wealthy you'd think one could hire a loving editor."
    • "It's really just the thoughts you have in your head before they're organized... this is stream of consciousness 'Draft zero' material."
The podcasters dissect the book well, picking up on some of the major problems with Nathen's attitude, writing style and his 10 Laws to Convert from Feeling Species into Thinking Species. Lots of laughs. :)

But is Garfield really celibate?

It boggles belief how Nathen repeatedly namedrops large corporations and now a government agency, intimating they'll be Egeez clients when they've agreed to no such thing.


Edit: He should report himself for false merchandizing.

One (of many) description online for his book says that it's partially about his struggles with bipolar disorder, but it's literally never mentioned in the book or even alluded to at all.

A google search reveals that the only web mention of "bipolar" in relation to Nathen, outside of forums, is on just one book vendor's webpage for his book.
https://www.booktopia.com.au/arabiolosis-nathen-mazri/book/9781504982641.html

Weird, because you'd think the blurb on that page would have been provided by Nathen himself.

Did the license fetishizer make an unlicensed run of masks? By ‘no account manager’ he absolutely means ‘wasn’t in contact with anyone at all’ right

He's being honest here. He explained in a recent interview about how, before his GarfieldEATS license was cancelled, the middleman agency he dealt with re licensing issues had staff cutbacks and stopped returning his messages for months.

He did admit they believed he was a quirky, difficult customer. Before the ghosting, they met with him about weekly to check up on him. After the ghosting, he managed to contact their CEO via their LinkedIn, at which point it was broken to Nathen that he'd lost the license.

Nathen provides a video screencap example of his ChatGPT bullshit in action here:

https://x.com/nathenmazri/status/1724291159269212541?s=20

I'm guesstimating it's just a rebranded frontend for the standard ChatGPT, with minimal changes.

Solve all your business licensing-related issues by text-querying a good ol' infallible AI!


Edit: The screencap video plays way too fast to read much of the screen output, so you have to change the play speed and/or hit Pause a lot. Nice design, Nathen!

Based on my knowledge of the general spirit of the Garfield cartoons he created (I was a Garfield fan for years as a young adult, can take it or leave it now), Davis might well be described as a salty but sweet old man.

Garfield is salty, Jon Arbuckle is sweet. Also the gal whose cup of dog cum Jon drank in that one strip was sweet. I think about her often. :biglips:

I for one appreciate your service, CodfishCartographer, or we would have missed out on multiple lols. (And I'm loving glad I didn't pay 50 bucks for one myself! Ten bucks maybe, tops, I'd be prepared to pay.) If you create a crowdfunding page to try and recompense your GarfRECIPES "book" cost, I'd chip in a buck o' three for sure.
