1988
Not posting here, just sharing the Link of the Day: YouTube’s LASAGNA CAT.
Scratch that, you can view the strips in chronological order on a better viewer at lasagnacat.com. Not that I have bad 80’s nostalgia, or anything but…
Where has this guy been all my life? (Apparently at ComicCon, boy did I miss out.) Is this performance art, reenacting lame Garfield strips in front of a live audience? And then a pretty much unrelated music video, for no reason? I certainly hope so. Here is my favorite.
He has the Jon hair down to a science, although Garfield looks strangely deflated. I kind of like him this way. I also have no idea why I thought Garfield was so funny, other than a) I was eight, b) everyone was doing coke, and c) I still think Odie, Lyman, and Nermal are totally hilarious. Especially the one where Garfield steps on a food bowl and thocks himself in the face, for some reason. Plus you know there’s some obscure off-color Garfields back before Jim Davis was famous for producing 1 book every 9 mos. or whatever - seemed like forever in those days because I was a pre-pubescent adolescent and couldn’t wait for that crap to come out. I also owned every Garfield plush (possibly two of each) and goddammit, I still love lasagna.
But no, I will not see the hideous CGI nightmare that was Garfield: The Movie, starring Jennifer Love Hugetits, i.e. Squinky Eye with Dead Rodent for a Hairdo. That would be blasphemy.
Quote of the Day: I’m using the CAT BRUSH!!!
man, i thought that shit was funny too. what the hell was wrong with us? and yeah, i had some plush, i think i had odie as well as garfield.
We had all the same plushies! I won’t insult you by asking if we’re the same age
