Garfield by Jim Davis for November 04, 2016

Why not?

Even if Mr. Davis retires or when he passes away (whichever comes first), “Garfield” will still figuratively exist… in the fans’ hearts. Just like Charles Schulz with “Peanuts” and Bill Watterson with “Calvin and Hobbes.”

Is this foreshadowing something?

An excellent question, Mr. G.

We all have a different concept of reality.

A world without garfield is possible, but not desirable.

Aye Trantoro815, t’would be a dull boring world indeed

where’s your proof Jon!

Hair color. Check. Attitude. Check. Remind anyone of a certain presidential candidate? Narcissistic, perhaps.

I don’t remember a world without Garfield

Garfield will NEVER go away!

Why, Garfield?

Because.

That’s why.

This would make a very existential Garfield Minus Garfield.

And you know this… HOW?

Since cats think they are gods this is pretty accurate.

Because the world doesn’t revolve around you, Garfield. In fact, I’m just pointing it out there that the world doesn’t revolve around any of us.

GARFIELD MINUS GARFIELD VERSION

Panel 1Jon: The world existed before I was born

Panel 2Jon: And it will exist after I’m gone

Panel 3(Jon staring away silently)

Of COURSE cats own the Universe. They just hired God to be the Property Manager.

Yeah, WHY? My existentialist philosophy tells me the the Universe began when I was Born, and it will End when I End. The fact that the Population of the Planet has more than Doubled, Technology went from B&W TV’s to even homeless people having Computers in their pocket. 70% of the species on Earth are endangered, and the fact that we are running low on Food and Clean Water… All this shows that Garfield and I are Correct in our existentialist reasoning.When I go, the World Ends.

The world was preparing for him…and it will remember him.
