if/when Jim Davis ever has the sense to retire
didn't he stop making the strips himself back in like the '80s?

according to Slate:
In his 1982 interview with Shapiro, Davis admitted to spending only 13 or 14 hours a week writing and drawing the strip, compared to 60 hours a week doing promotion and licensing.But today Davis spends even less time on the strip than he used to—between three days and a week each month. During that time, he collaborates with another cartoonist to generate ideas and rough sketches, then hands them over to Paws employees to be illustrated.

...which makes about as much sense as David Lynch employing an art department to illustrate The Angriest Dog in the World. JDav should definitely computerize that shit.

I'm not sure if this is Jim Davis releasing 30 years of pent-up self loathing or Jim Davis's ghostwriter outing himself as a sleeper agent for the anti-Garfield cabal, but I like it.

ha, thanks (xpost). I'm not sure what impulse led me to research the dimensions of cormorants in the fall of 2013, but there must have been a reason for it. ilx profiles are a sorely underappreciated art, but I saw a really good one the other day (just wish I could remember whose)

Garfield is actually terrified because Jon has taken to filling the creamer with dog cum.

I remember reading the cum drinking strip as a child and being confused

I'd be way more concerned if a child wasn't confused by that strip.

this is a surprisingly good thread, ilx should be put in charge of editing a one-volume "all the funny garfield strips" edition.

Why is an anthropomorphic cow slapping Jon? Why is the punchline revolving around the fact that he burned the patties? Shouldn’t the cow be mad about him eating cows in general? Why isn’t Jon terrified at the sight of this monstrosity? Why does this comic exist? pic.twitter.com/SwFFYn1sm0— Garf Gab (@GarfieldFanArt) September 28, 2018

Full disclosure: I also have a framed sketch of Garfield addressing me by name. I think this might just be a Hoosier thing. But also I was ten at the time, so

Jim Davis is a native of Indianapolis.
It's no excuse, but it does provide context.

Never noticed that his ears connect directly above where his eyes squeeze together.
What a freak. Put him down.

Not Indianapolis per se but not too far. He lives within almost literal spitting distance of my family homestead so it wasn't uncommon to just like see him disheveled and shopping at the mall or something, presumably while his staff was hard at work on the latest Garfield strip.

Hate to say it, but if your capital city and largest city also contains the state's name, everyone's just going to think of the two as one and the same.
Unless there's a cool city up the way like Tulsa.
