Stop raping my childhood!!!

[Kire]

The new Garfield movie is supposed to be just as bad as the last one. Growing up, those books made me laugh my ass off, and I couldn't wait for the next one to come out. This is wrong, Garfield is the bomb, he doesn't deserve this.

I totally agree, but I find it really hard to defend Garfield. Thanks to Maddox people are deadset against it as a one-joke strip. I mean, I guess I can see that... But Garfield served as my gateway to cartooning. I owe him for that.

Garfield is boring, and frequently has obvious, humor-free punchlines. Removing Garfield's thought bubbles (or Garfield altogether) increases the humor of the strip to a considerable degree.

I for one loved the Garfield comics... Sadly, Hollywood wants to ruin all that we hold dear.

DAMN YOU, HOLLYWOOD!!!

You're just mad because Holywood rewrote the story like they do with every other comic-to-movie...movie.

I'm just bitter because it sucks.

Hey, did anyone else ever make the creepy Garfield/Ghostbusters connection? Bill Murray played Petervenkman. Lorenzo Music voiced Peter in the cartoon, and also did Garfield. Now, Murray is doing the voice for Garfield. It's like payback...er something.

Well, actually: Garfield is a four-joke strip.

1. Exposing Jon as a loser
2. Garfield and either a love/hate of food
3. Garfield falls asleep
4. Odie get humiliated

Re: Stop raping my childhood!!!

I detested Garfield long before I ever heard of Madoxx.

More so that it just won't go away. Old cartoons have this strage kind of tenyear that keeps them in the papers long after they've lost anything that made them special or funny in the first place. Thus eatting up space for new cartoonists to come in. See also: Blondie, Ally Oop, Heathcliff, Marmaduke, Dennis the Meanis, etc. Of course, some would argee that these comics had nothing special or funny to contribute in the first place, but that's a whole different topic.

But Blondie is hot.

Re: Stop raping my childhood!!!

There's an endless hall of cryo-Blondies that Dagwood defrosts whenever the current one becomes even the least bit unattractive.

I like Garfield, but I see what your getting at: those comics really do suck, and I love the new ones like Pearls before Swine and Get Fuzzy.

Personally I don't think there's any comic strip joke that's worth a laugh.

Nonchalant repartee.

When I was a kid, I always prefered Garfeild to Calvin and Hobbes.

Now I realize there was something terribly wrong with me.
