Sadly no questions about 'The Pipe Strip' or Lasagna Cat.

Davis is basically the living definition of a hack but he seems like a nice man.

Doesn't he just get work experience students to do the strips for him?

Or is that the Guardian

Anything about that strip where Jon drank a dog's semen?

"I'm sitting here working on the writing right now," he says. "I see gags and I work with assistants on the strip and stuff like that. We do roughs and it all filters through me so that it has one voice. We all get together occasionally in the same room and draw and work on shapes of fingers and gestures and expressions and things like that so that if any one of us draws it, you can't tell which one did it."

I'm sure there was one where Garfield looked in a mirror and saw Snoopy reflected back. "I hate Mondays..."

I never saw it again in any of the books etc. I expect there was a copyright issue.

It's been going every day for 40 years. Give him a break!

Thought that said Jim Davidson for a second. Shame.

Yup, me too.

Yup, me three.

I was disappointed to learn that I had misread the title.

God almighty, the CiF commentators are dreary whining shits, aren't they.

For the record I liked the strip when I was young, perhaps it is a 'when you're young' thing overall, but so what. Also, Odie is the most uncannily accurate portrayal of a dog ever.

What about the one where the guy drinks dog cum

I don't know how many times we have to tell you this ISN'T a Jim Davidson thread

Petey Pate

This Garfield strip caused some controversy because it came out on Veteran's Day (the coincidence wasn't intentional).

I, Jim Davis, apologise for my strip where Garfield says "Happy Dumbass Veterans Day" to a veteran, and then the veteran dies of brain disease from being so dumb, and then Garfield unrolls the newspaper and the headline reads "KILL ALL VETERANS", and the newspaper is named "FUCK AMERICA". This wasn't intended to go out on Veterans Day and the timing was unintentional and regrettable

Gregory Torso

Does it explain why Jim Davdison thinks that garfields eat lasagna?
