While we are here, could I et some confirmation that voicing Garfield in the movies is as low as anyone would want to see Bill Murray go?

[powerbook867]

I think that he has to be at the bottom of the bucket...

[Andrew Stephens]

But Marmaduke is badly drawn, unfunny, intellectually lazy and ... not wait Garfield is... now I'm confused.

Got a classic today...

I swore I wasn't going to add anymore "unnecessary" RSS feeds, but I'm breaking that self-promise.

This comic's irony goes to 11.

The New York Times : Garfield minus Garfield

An interesting story. Seems Jim Davis likes the "minus Garfield" bit.

“I think it’s the body of work that makes me laugh — the more you read of these strips, the funnier it gets,” Mr. Davis said. As for Garfield himself, “this makes a compelling argument that maybe he doesn’t need to be there. Less is more.”

Thanks for the heads up design219.

Proof that Jim Davis really doesn't care anymore and that he is just going through the motions as long as people pay him.

They've been awful lately.

The with or without? I never see Garfield.

[Dakar the Fourth]

The withouts.

Too bad the randomizer is busted (or at least temporarily down)

I fear that our best work is in the past.

Really? I quite enjoyed this one:

[Dakar the Fourth]

I guess I really like situations that make him come of as completely delusional or downright pathetic, rather than just nerdy.

[- - e r i k - -]

So like this one?



or this one

[Dakar the Fourth]

No, I could see the first happening to a reg loser.

The second I much more inline with what I crave. Random breakdown = awesome.

Completely delusional AND downright pathetic... now we're talking my game.

[Spheric Harlot]

I agree!

Best one I've seen, so far.

[- - e r i k - -]

There's also a book out now, sanctioned by Jim Davis himself. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing…

[Laminar]

[Dakar V]

The best part is I know exactly what the original is like.

[osiris]

It's about time that psycho was locked up.

more evidence:

[Laminar]

Love it.

[shifuimam]

That's actually really sad, only because I know firsthand what it's like to be interminably, morbidly depressed.

I just feel sorry for Jon. He's not funny; he's pitiable and pathetic.

Also: It stuns me that papers keep Marmaduke around even when they have to cut back on the number of strips they publish daily. It's possibly the worst comic on the planet.

[Chuckit]

Oh, come on. Garfield is not srs business.

[shifuimam]

I'm just saying...Jon Arbuckle is REALLY pathetic.. If I weren't on meds, some of those strips would probably end up making me cry and hide under the covers for the rest of the day.

Just sayin'.

[Dakar V]

For Better or Worse has to be one of the worst strips out there. Also, the endless and indecipherable Phantom.

That and Marmaduke get my votes. I used to read the comics every morning at breakfast (until college, at which point I stopped eating breakfast).

[shifuimam]

I used to like For Better or Worse because it had an actual story line, but then it got pretty obnoxiously politically correct. I'm not a fan of comics preaching to me unless they are specifically political (e.g. Mallard Filmore, Doonesbury, etc.).

Oh yeah, I almost forgot Family Circus. The very definition of terrible.

Family Circus makes Garfield look like fine art.

[adamfishercox]

Comics that must go: Cathy, Marmaduke, Ziggy, Garfield, Family Circus, Prince Vailant, Dennis the Menace.

I think Pearls Before Swine nailed Family Circus.

[adamfishercox]

and this is why i love that comic strip.

this thread needs some Sarah Palin FAIL pics

no need, mentioning her is fail enough.
