What's /co/'s honest opinion about Garfield?

Shitty Heathcliff rip-off meant to be as mass marketable as possible while losing the inherent nuance and subtleties that made Heathcliff so great. It's the pleb's comic strip.

Actually funny, witty, mischievous and dark in the 1980s, despite being intended as mass-market fodder.

Then Jim Davis got obsessed with his pal Brett Koth, who convinced him nothing was funnier than the visual humor of a squashed spider being used as a fake mustache.
From then on, Garfield was well-drawn but only mildly amusing stuff.

It is better now than it has been in years, but only because Liz as Jon's sometime GF brings a little more intelligence to some gags.

It's my favourite anime.

I almost cried at Jon's death.

For me it's just kinda there. I don't have any strong feelings towards it one way or the other.

Currently? I read Square Root of Minus Garfield from time to time.
I used to read older Garfield books back when I was a kid, those were pretty good.
It's like there was this creative gap between what was in the books and what was in the comics pages.
A willingness to get darker that wasn't there nowadays.

When I find myself having shitty days, Garfield Comics give me a hearty, sensible chuckle.
