garfield is a queer icon and im tired of pretending he's not, he's for the queers who are just a little bit eepy, for the queers who just want to eat and laze about, he's also canonically an enby who goes by he/him pronouns

idk i just decided to make this space for anyone who wants to post garfield memes and general garfield related stuff because there's like only one other garfield comm on lemmy that i could find and its just one guy posting the garfield comic that was released today 45 years ago (unironically pretty cool though ngl)

Rules: all the normal stuff no bigotry, no doxxing, etcetera. I reserve the right to moderate as i see fit but i dont think i'll be too overbearing with it (any bigotry will be pretty harshly modded though)

I am not a fan at all. I have always viewed Garfield as something to fill some blank space in a newspaper which has somehow grown out of control. I am genuinely curious, however, what huge fans of Garfield see in it / get from the IP.

I read all the Garfield strips as a kid, and watched most of the shows and movies out at the time. I have strong memories of picking up as many compilation books as I could from the local second-hand bookfair (along with Calvin and Hobbes, Footrot Flats, Peanuts, etc) and reading them over and over.

Nowadays I don't really read the comics anymore, but I think Garfield is great fodder for memes.

Soon as I read "Footrot Flats" I knew you were either an Aussie or a Kiwi.
