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.

    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.
