As it turns out, Garfield is brilliant

[Great Rumbler]

What, I actually kind of like Garfield? Always have, actually.

Why? The comic is nothing more than a poor charicature of what it used to be, which wasn't exactly cream-of-the-crop to begin with. As it stands now, Jim Davis does virtually nothing, allowing his cohorts to mass-produce panels and punchlines in a never-ending assembly line of tired, worn out jokes that have been repeated ad nauseum for the past thirty years. All the characters that were actually interesting? Gone. All the adventures that Garfield used to have? Gone. Because those take too much time and too much effort. If you still read and laugh at Garfield comics, then you are part of the problem.
