The death of Garfield?
Created on: August 2nd, 2006
An examination of a really f*cked up series of Garfield cartoons from 1989. These are 100% legit.
EDIT: ok, thanks to everyone confirming the veracity of these strips.

Garfield isn't dead, you twats. I remember reading this specific comic, I used to be a huge fan when I was little and read every Garfield book when it came out. This was just a creative romp that Jim Davis and co. went on when they realized just how shallow the Garfield comics are. THESE AREN'T f*ckED UP. When I was f*cking 11 reading them I didn't think anything of it, they didn't scare me whatsoever or anything.
http://garfield.com/comics/comics_archives_strip.html?1989-ga891023 I went to the archives to check it out. Garfield has their entire history archived on their site. Interestingly, the only way garfield is actually funny is if you pretend garfield can't talk. just ignore his thought bubbles and pretend jon can't hear them. Then the whole comic turns into a look at a really pathetic guy in the grips of psychosis ^_^
That's awesome. I've always hated Garfield for the incredible lameness of it. Recently the only jokes run have been SELF REFERENTIAL, in which the joke is nothing but a slight deviation from the things that have been repeated hundreds of times previously in the comic.
Here's how the final comic should go: Jon finally gets laid (by a fat chick), Garfield becomes a nihillist, and Odie goes to college. Or some sh*t like that.

I think Jim Davis simply pulled a Christmas Carol on Garfield: Showing him what could happen if he continued to treat Odie and John that way. Of course, that could be moot because he went on doing it anyways, but this is sweet. I'd love to see him attempt a Drama comic, Jim Davis obviously has some genius.
Alternative theory: EVERYONE in the house -- Garfield, Jon, Odie -- died a few months before the strip in question. Garfield goes to some sort of cat purgatory, returns as a spirit to his abandoned house. When he comes back to Jon, they're all in some alternate reality afterlife, where they'll spend eternity. That's the only way I can explain him being alive at 28 with that fat belly.
Also: There was a story arc recently where Jon finally tongued with the hot vet chick. Garfield says in that strip that they lived happily ever after. There was a rumor they'd kill Garfield or end the strip there, but they're back to lasagna and Monday strips. A strip stuck in its time (the early 1980's), but I would :`( if Garfield were to die.
an imagination is a powerful tool it can tint memopries of the past, shape perceptions of the present, or paint a future so vivid that it can entice. . . or terrify, all depending upon how we conduct ourselfs today . . .
