I read a lot of Garfield collections as a kid, and I definitely thought some were great and some sucked. I'm looking through some and a lot would've been a lot funnier as a kid. But there's definitely some decent ones and some ones like....this.

I find it as enjoyable as any other newspaper comic strip, but my bar for those is pretty low considering the extremely low time investment required.

I think everyone had a bunch of Garfield books as a kid. I sure did.
My niece came over a while ago and brought some of the newer ones with her and I read them out of curiosity. Some of them were surprisingly funny - the quality seemed to go up since the last time I read the books (which was decades ago). --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.

I used to read the Garfield newspaper strips all the time as a kid and not sure why but the only Garfield strip I remember is where Jon is buying popcorn and Garfield says "With the barbecue sauce!"
That always stuck with me and whenever I see barbeque sauce I think of that strip. But I have no idea why, it wasn't even funny. --- Are you not....entertained!? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I enjoyed Garfield. The humor was kinda meh at times, but it was fun. I read the comics (some good, some bad), watched at least one of the cartoons (which I felt was alright at the time), the tv specials (which I still have fond memories of), and... I couldn't make it through the first live-action movie. And I've liked the merch.
If Garfield hadn't cashed in as much as it did, the overall reputation would likely be better. trivialbeing posted... it's often looked down upon compared to the likes of Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes and others, since it mostly just exists to sell merchandise I think it evolved to the point where merch became a big deal. However, Peanuts was big on merch, too. Most comics DO try to sell merch if they can. C&H mostly has a hipster appeal nowadays, which kinda ruins it for me. It was probably funnier than Garfield on average, but everything has hits and misses. The Far Side is absolutely adored, but most of the jokes didn't land, either. However, Far Side had interesting art, etc, which kept it going. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way. AhahahahMMH ...

Actually, I liked Garfield to such a degree that in middle school, I made a clay Garfield in art class. I was 12, and I used the strip where he gets so fat that his legs can't touch the ground. It isn't the best, but I'm still pretty proud.

If someone had told me that that was an old toy/piece of merch from the 80s, back before they invented quality control, I probably would have believed it. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.

Garfield was my absolute FAVORITE growing up. I had all those books. I distinctly remember one that made me laugh for the longest time. I was just Garfield trying to get on top of the fridge to the cookie jar and when he finally did, the fridge fell over on him. So after all that, he finally gets a cookie and it was Oatmeal Raisin. I still laugh thinking about it.

The comic was good until the turn of the millennium. Then it became aggressively mediocre (then again, even in its golden age, Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts, FoxTrot, and Big Nate were all better).
Garfield & Friends, on the other hand, was genuinely funny and well-written to beginning to end. In fact, it just got better every season. --- Depressed POS alert. SW-6764-3759-9672 | He/they | https://linktr.ee/KalloFox34 ... Copied to Clipboard!
