I have fond memories of the animated show, so I suppose I'll say yes. Close though. Especially considering Garfield is better without Garfield.

SuperNiceDog won the Guru contest. Good job.

No. Not really.

Only funny part is the cartoons. The comics are just like Dilbert to me. Just....there.

Yes, based on the animated show. Though it's definitely true that the modern comics are better without Garfield.

You should never be surprised when someone feels differently about something at this point, all things considered.

You misinterpreted what I meant. Of course I know that people have different opinions. I was just surprised that it was split after the first eight responses.

Nice catch!

As for me...

Yes, I love Garfield, but I know him almost exclusively through the old cartoons. My experience with the comic strip is extremely limited, and I haven't seen any of the live-action movies.

Yes. It's very hard for me to dislike a character that is both a cat and a fan of pasta.

We clasped our hands, our hands in praise of a conquerors right to tyranny

Yes

Never got the whole "Garfield is never funny" angle. Now I haven't read any in the last 10 years, but while the humor is subtle sometimes it's there pretty often. Especially since a lot of the same people turn around and praise Calvin and Hobbes which I feel has this problem a lot more often. Calvin and Hobbes often feels more creative/interesting than funny. (and I actually like Calvin and Hobbes, mind you, just saying it lacks funny a lot of the time).

Although really, most Sunday morning comics are bad. There are a ton out there a lot less funny than Garfield or Calvin and Hobbes.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

No. You have to go out of your way to make Garfield funny. Lasagna Cat and Garfield without Garfield are the only times I lauge at anything Garfield related.

Nicely done, SuperNiceDog. Super nicely done.

The comics themselves are pretty lame and formulaic, but I like the character. Even if Garfield without Garfield is better, and the Garfield movies are awful.

Yes.

Yes. The original comic was pretty good though I assume at this point they're completely rehashing old jokes.

Remember when the Garfield comic strip was legitimately funny? It hasn't been for like 15 years, but it was pretty decent before then.
