In your own words and explanation, why are you a Garfield fan?
I am not a fan at all. I have always viewed Garfield as something to fill some blank space in a newspaper which has somehow grown out of control. I am genuinely curious, however, what huge fans of Garfield see in it / get from the IP.
This absolutely is!
I read all the Garfield strips as a kid, and watched most of the shows and movies out at the time. I have strong memories of picking up as many compilation books as I could from the local second-hand bookfair (along with Calvin and Hobbes, Footrot Flats, Peanuts, etc) and reading them over and over.
Nowadays I don't really read the comics anymore, but I think Garfield is great fodder for memes.
Soon as I read "Footrot Flats" I knew you were either an Aussie or a Kiwi.
Haha guilty as charged!
In truth, I am also not a Garfield fan lol. I just think GarfGirl's memes are very funny
I'm in it for the pussy

It's absolutely not because he is holding my family hostage.
....absolutely not!
Not a fan either. Garfield seems to be anti-funny, even somewhat banal. And that's the genius of it. Jim Davis has milked a cushy life out of it.
