Friday Again Garfie Baby

Paying attention in class to draw this rarepair i found yesterday

[garfiscool]

Garfield and Frank from the November 30th 1980 Sunday strip I presume?

Right at the beginning of the 1980s, my favorite era of the beloved fat orange cat. Garfield looking awesome as ever.

[epicsandwich301]

As per usual, correct! I do wonder if Frank has ever appeared again. Never seen him since

[garfiscool]

I don't believe so, he's most likely a one-off character used for the joke unfortunately.

This is how it feels whenever I reblog someone who has Garfield as their profile picture.

bitch!! Halloween costume!!!

[garfiscool]

Now this is a costume I can get behind. Halloween is one of Garfield's favorite holidays, as stated in Garfield's Halloween Adventure.

now I tried to make a somewhat convincing Garfield comic

[garfiscool]

This could totally be the plot of a modern Garfield. I wouldn't be surprised if this plot showed up in the daily comic at some point in the future.

GARFIELD EVOLUTIONARY TIMELINE

1976: Proto-Garfield, side-character to Jon

1978: Earliest properly-recognizable Garfield, visual overhaul accompanies syndication and retitle of comic to Garfield

1979: Transitional state between proto-Garfield and 80s Garfield, marketed by increased anthropomorphization and larger, cartoonish expressions, while retaining a realistic body shape

1980-1984: 80s Garfield, facial structure has largely stabilized save for dimensions, noticeable retention of quadrupedal motion in most situations

1985-1992: Emergence of modern Garfield, shift towards predominantly vertical locomotion, expansion of feet, facial structure begins to horizontally compress and vertically extend

1989: [REDACTED]

1993-1999: Continued anthropomorphic shift, separation of head from torso and reduction of belly fat, noticeable

2000-present: stabilization of modern Garfield, head size reduced in final proportion alteration. Jim Davis had divined the final, perfect version of his pop culture homonculus.

...but the end of the road for one man is a broad horizon for the next...

[garfiscool]

My favorite Garfield is 1980-1984. He's still mostly cattish but has enough human properties especially in his face to be engaging and relatable.

"Dodge this."

[garfiscool]

Reminds me of his catchphrase "Whoever invented [...] should be drug out into the street and shot." Which I suppose is why they chose the 1980s design since that's when he was saying that.

Cartoonist Jon surrounded by his muses

[garfiscool]

Garfield, fat as ever. More of him to look at which is great because he is awesome.

what are your thoughts on jon arbuckle?

One of my all time favourite fan comics is about Jon. It takes a look at his life as a comic creator living with his cat, dog, and partner. Its really cute and I personally found it extremely touching. I cried the first couple times I read it just because of the feelings it gave me about being an artist. I definitely recommend people check it out.
