I wrote to Jim Davis a year ago about these. This is his reply: It was Halloween, and I wanted to play with everyone's biggest fear, being alone...I felt that, that was scarier than ghosts and rattling chains. Also, if you go back and look at other years, he sometimes does themed weeks for Halloween and other holidays.

I remember these from a collection I read while growing up, I never understood and truly didn't read the last two because they were just not funny nor interesting. However Jim Davis said he found the idea of Garfield imagining future strips while starving to death laughable: http://www.boingboing.net/2006/08/09/death-of-garfield-my.html

Well of COURSE they are real. Paws Inc hires about a bijillion unknown graduates of that art school where you draw the pirate and the turtle, chains them in a basement, and forces them to draw idiotic jokes about Mondays and Lasagna so that Jim Davis can LIVE IMMORTALLY.

Of course, this PARTICULAR series was during summer break, when all they could find was Canadian artist Dave Sim...

yea summer break in october...

Oh, different artist, that explains it. I was wondering why entire rooms were being drawn, why Garfield was shown from various angles, and generally why this wasn't the usual copy/paste-change-world-bubbles that Jim Davis normally uses. Lazy bastard.

Ignore this comment, I'm writing to the future: HELLO TWO THOUSAND TEN! REMEMBER TWO THOUSAND EIGHT? YEAH? REMEMBER WHEN THIS CAME BACK ON TOP VIEWED? AGAIN? HA! AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAPPENED AGAIN 'CAUSE YOU'RE READING THIS!! HA!! GUESS ROBOT WIVES HAVEN"T BEEN INVENTED YET, EH? WELL, I'M GONNA GO DO 2008 STUFF NOW. BYE.

I'm writing to the past. Dear 2005, Gas prices will climb to four dollars a gallon. Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith will die from a drug overdose. Transformers will suck. Remember Democratic vice presidential hopeful John McCain? He's a running as a Republican now. Britney Spears and Tom Cruise will go batsh*t. YTMND will be purchased by Viacom and become YTMNV. Stamps will last forever. Jesus comes back... also c*cks

i can confirm that my penis is soft due to the epic f*ggotry and fail this YTMND exudes

judged

The comics may be real, but is Garfield dead? I don't know - but I take everything wikipedia says with a pinch of salt.

this ytmnd does not cater to those who read slow. 1star

^^ awesome, thanks for confirmation.

WAYT WUT R POINTING AT??? THOSE EMBEDDED COMMENTS????

They're real, I have those at home

you suck much cock

As real as those are.. it still doesnt make sense how he got there.

hhmm, happy cat will not be amused. but i never really liked garfield so 5'd for his apparent death though he seemed alive in those god awful films.

orginal and well put together earns you a 5.

i would have fived this, but it takes f*cking forever to get to the point, you don't need five title cards at ten seconds apiece

nedm...:'-(

slightly too fast.

this is so very strange :'(

+1

These are very old, so I am gonna say no, he isn't dead.

I ate a pea for your CACK kkk ja pee meee enfkjdnskljfnakldsnfk;nsd;ak

While Garfield has polevaulted over the shark, any theories that he's "really" dead are just that, theories. And yes thats a real line of strips. It apparently scared so many of his readers that Davis never did anything so creative again. A shame.

Oh no! I ordered french fries with my haunted hamburger

+1

"though he seemed alive in those god awful films." Where is the real ghost of Garfield to destroy every copy of those horrible movies. If any Hollywood execs are reading this DO NOT TURN OLD CARTOONS INTO LIVE ACTION!

Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer!

+1

He's a demon on wheels!

music was so horrible and distracting I had to close it

-2

It was a dream you moron. It was in response that the artist felt that Garfield had no depth to the character and that he was only singularly focused (gluttony) and so he had Garfield go through an epiphany.

+2

let's hope he is...

BEES

-1

I can confirm they are real, I remember reading them in the paper :D But wow, Wikipedia is WRONG. I followed Garfield untill the mid 1990's when it started to suck, and let me enlighten all: In the beginning, Jim Davis tried to run his comic like For Better or For worse, and have various plots to follow, subtle meanings, ect... Remember Nermal? Layman? Ed? Garfield's mom? Anyway, early in the series, Garfield runs away from home, and really does come close to starving to death, but he just happens

NEDM?

+1

?MDEN

to meet his mother and father, who take care of him, and Garfield Mentions how his week of starvation has changed him forever... And he eventually gets home, and every once in a while after that untill Jim Davis turned into a pathetic sell out, if you watch closely you can see he tries to allude back to Garfield and his trauma, and that's what this is, except the most blatant... Davis was trying to get people to realize how important the things we take for granted- food, water, loving family, really are.

+1

The text kinda falshed too fast for me to read it all ^^;

-1

funnier than Jim Davis

you ass. now i'm strangely depressed. but nice job anyway 0_o

Hey now, I'm a silly goose, and I say those are intriguing strips. But the most recent story line with the Liz Jon relationship pretty effectively counters any near death delusion explanation. The same may hold true for Lost.

NEDM. That would explain why the movie was such a huge failure.

+1

I can also confirm that it isn't fake...

Great and insightful presentation.

I actually have the original book where those came from o_O

-1

man thats depressing...Jim Davis must have been having a hard time with Orsn the Pig and Wade the Duck

Garfield is awesome, but yeah. Real.

And aye. Garfield was indeed a great strip in the early years.

-1

Wow, those comics are strange. Great presentation.

"this is a dream..."

I remember these strips.

wow research ... That sent shivers down my spine.

Yup, 100% real. I don't really get it though. Very nice YTMND, very nice theory.

you fail because they are real

-2

It's pretty obvious that he was imagining the whole thing. Jim Davis actually did a lot of these within the series, where Garfield let his imagination go a little too far. So no, he is a alive, healthy, and still funny.

I remember those comics too, I used to buy the Garfield books and they're in one of them. As for the theory on wikipedia.. bunk.

In any case, I wish he were dead.

-3

These were the comics Jim Davis created after his cat, who inspired the stip, died.

Garfield isn't based on any Cat Jim Davis owned. In fact, Ironicly I don't think Jim Davis has even owned a cat.

GREAT

The comic was to show that imagination is a powerful tool. as long as garfield use his imagination he lives a good life, but the strip was made in halloween

1'd for fake.

garfield? DYING?! NEDM!!

+2

1'd for who f*cking cares about garfield

NARV

i do

Couldn't stand the music =/ and first glance, I wouldn't find them depressing. Reinforcing that people need their families was important in the late 80's.

1978!

It was a dream sequence you moron

I like Garfield

Who reads garfield? WHERE ARE THE ORIGINAL GOOD YTMND'S

-1

YTMNDs idiot. Nothing belongs to ytmnd, so nothing is YTMND's.

"My heart belongs to Ytmnd" -?

+2

I have that series of comics in a garfield book somewhere. Garfield used to actually be pretty funny around this era...now its just lame.

I think it was pretty clear that it was all his over-active imagination. But +4 for finding a few Garfield strips with more resonence and storytelling than the rest of them combined.

That's f*cking crazy.

Oh man, f*ck you. This was the most depressing thing ever. I'm leaving this unvoted.

NEDM!

+1

I think Jim Davis was trying to be profound, by teaching his readers about imagination and taking things for granted....deep.

Either that or he was tripping acid and listening to Pink Floyd albums.

that was amazing

I liked Garfield. The movies sucked dick though.

Yes, they are real. I remember reading these when I was but a little kid, and being like... o_O

f*ck, where the hell was the NEDM? I'm really upset now.

+1

Yeah, I found those in a garfield book I had when I was a kid and never really "got" them.
