You have no idea what you're talking about. Trashing entertainment that was before your time looks VERY ignorant. This video didn't bother to mention the record Garfield book sales year after year back then and those books featured hundreds of five to seven frame Garfield comic strips and they were hilarious. I'm SO tired of seeing young people watching ONE video about something before their time and deciding that they know everything about it. Garfield was one for the record books back then. I was in high school and Garfield was all the rage. Trashing what you don't understand is dangerous territory to tread. Appreciate Garfield for what it was and not for what you THINK you know. The comic strips back then laid the groundwork for some of what is popular today. But many of you choose not to respect that and it looks oh so ignorant.

When I was 18... 18 years old, I saw for the first time in my life... I saw an image of clarity. I saw a comic strip... a three panel comic strip that, though simple as it seemed, changed me... changed my being, changed who I am... Made me who I am... Enlightened me... The strip, Garfield, the comic strip was new... no more than maybe a month and a half since inception, since... since coming into existence... and there it was before me in print, I saw it... a comic strip... What was it called? Garfield. The story here is of a man, a plain man. He is Jon, but he is more than that... I will get to this later, but first let us say that he's Jon, a plain man. And then there is a cat... Garfield. This is the nature of the world, here. When I see the world, the politics, the future, the... the satellites in space, and... the people who put them there... You can look at everything as a man and a cat... two beings, in harmony and at war... So, this strip I saw; this man, Jon, and the cat, Garfield, you see... Yes... hmm... It is about everything. This... little comic is, oh, lo and behold... not so little anymore. So yes, when I was 18, I saw this comic... and it hit me all at once, its power. I clipped it, and every day, I looked at it, and I said "Okay... let me look at this here. What is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful?" Jon Arbuckle, he sits here, legs crossed... comfortable in his home, and he reads his newspaper... The news of the world, perhaps... and then he extends his fingers lightly, delicately... he taps his fingers on an end table, and he feels for something... What is it? It is something he needs, but it is not there. And then he looks up, slightly cockeyed, and he thinks... His newspaper's in his lap now, and he thinks this... Now where could my pipe be? This... I always come to this, because I was a young man... I'm older now, and I still don't have the secrets, the answers, so this question still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks... Now where could my pipe be? And then it happens... You see it, you see... it's almost like divine intervention, suddenly it is there, and it overpowers you... A cat is smoking a pipe. It is the man's pipe, it's Jon's pipe, but the cat... this cat, Garfield, is smoking the pipe... and from afar, and someplace near, but not clear... near but not clear... The man calls out... Jon calls out, he is shocked. "Garfield!" he shouts. Garfield. The cat's name. But, let's take a step back... let us examine this from all sides, all perspectives... and when I first came across this comic strip, I was at my father's house... a newspaper had arrived, and I picked it up for him, and brought it inside. I organized its sections for him and then, yes, the comic strip section fell out from somewhere in the middle, and landed on the kitchen floor... I picked up the paper pages and saw, up somewhere near the top of this strip... just like Jon, I was wearing an aquamarine shirt. So I thought, "Ah, interesting. I'll have to see this later." I snipped out the little comic, and held on to it... and five days later, I reexamined it... and it gripped me, I needed to find out more about this. The information I had was minimal, but enough... An orange cat named Garfield... Okay, that seemed to be the lynchpin of this whole operation, yes. Another clue... a signature in the bottom right corner, a man's name... Jim Davis. Yes, I'm on to it for sure. So... one: Garfield, orange cat, and two: Jim Davis, the creator of this cat... And that curiously plain man. I did not know, at the time, that his name was Jon. This strip, you see, had no mention of this man's name, and I'd never seen it before. But I had these clues; Jim Davis, Garfield. And then I saw more, I spotted the tiny copyright mark in the upper left corner. Copyright 1978 to... what is this? Copyright belongs to a... PAWS Incorporated... I use the local library and mail services to track down the information I was looking for... Jim Davis, a cartoonist, had created a comic strip about a cat, Garfield... and a man, Jon Arbuckle. Well, from that point on, I made sure I read the Garfield comic strips, though as I read each one, as each day passed... the strips seemed to resonate with me less and less... I sent letters to PAWS Incorporated, long letters, pages upon pages... asking if Mister Jim Davis could somehow publish just the one comic, over and over again... "It would be meditative," I wrote, "the strength of that." Could you imagine? But... no response... The strips lost their power, and eventually I stopped reading, but... I did not want my perceptions diluted, so I vowed to read the pipe strip over and over again... That is what I call it, "The Pipe Strip." The Pipe Strip. Everything about it is perfect. I can only describe it as a miracle creation, something came together... the elements aligned... It is like the comets, the cosmic orchestra that is up there over your head... The immense, enormous void is working all for one thing, to tell you one thing... Gas and rock, and purity, and nothing. I will say this... When I see the pipe strip... and I mean every single time I look at the lines, the colors, the shapes that make up the three panel comic... I see perfection. Do I find perfection in many things? Some things, I would say... Some things are perfect... and this is one of them. I can look at the little tuft of hair on Jon Arbuckle's head... it is the perfect shade... The purple pipe in Garfield's mouth... How could a mere mortal even MAKE this? I have a theory, about Jim Davis... After copious research and, yes, of course, now we have the internet, and this information is all readily available, but... Jim Davis, he used his life experiences to influence his comic... Like I mentioned before, none of them seem to have the weight of the pipe strip... But you have to wonder about the man who is able to even, just once, create the perfect form, a literally flawless execution of art, brilliance! Just as in a ward... I think there is a spiritual element at work... I've seen my share of bad times and... when you have something... Well, it's just... emotions, and neurons in your brain, but... something tells you that it's the truth... Truth's radiant light. Garfield, the cat? Neurons in my brain, it's... it's harmony, you see? It... Jon and Garfield, it's truly harmony, like a... continuous, looping, everlasting harmony... The lavender chair, the brown end table, the salmon-colored wall, the fore's green carpeting, Garfield is hunched, perched... perhaps with the pipe stuck firmly between his jowls... His tail curls around. It's more than shapes too, because... I... Okay, stay with me... I've done this experiment several times. You take the strip. You trace only the basic elements. You can do anything, you can simplify the shapes down to just... blobs, just outlines, but it still makes sense... You can replace the blobs with magazine cutouts of other things, replace Jon Arbuckle with a... car parked in a driveway sideways, cut that out of a magazine, stick it in... Replace him there in the second panel with a... a food processor... Okay, and then we put a picture of the planet in the third panel over Garfield... It still works. These are universal proportions. I don't know... how best to explain why it works, I've studied the pipe strip, and analyzed Jon and Garfield's proportions against several universal mathematical constants. E, Pi, the Golden Ratio, the Feigenbaum Constants, and so on... and it's surprising... scary even, how things align. You can take just... tiny pieces of the pipe strip, for instance, take Jon's elbow from the second panel... and take that, and project it back over Jon's entire shape in the second panel, and you'll see a near perfect Fibonacci sequence emerge... It's eerie to me... and it makes you wonder if you're in the presence of a deity, if there is some larger hand at work... There's no doubt in my mind that Jim Davis is a smart man... Jim Davis is capable of anything to me... He is remarkable, but this is so far beyond that, I think we might see that... this work of art is revered and respected in years to come. Jim Davis is possibly a new master of the craft, a... a genius of the eye; they very well may say the same things about Jim Davis in five hundred years that we say about the great philosophical and artistic masters from centuries ago... Jim Davis is a modern day Socrates, or... Da Vinci... mixing both striking visual beauty with classical, daring, unheard-of intellect... Look, he combines these things to make profoundly simple expressions... This strip is his masterpiece... The Pipe Strip is his masterpiece... and it is a masterpiece and a marvel...

[@oliviaw8914]

No! No! So close! You had me until the last minute. The subheadline in the paper was so obviously a bit of commentary on Lasagna Cat itself- their joke (that garfield takes itself too seriously) was given too much time and resources (as displayed by the production quality of what's effectively 4 hours of garbage) and ultimately led to a confusing ending. You can see how they aimed to make this joke- that jon arbuckle dies and is reborn over and over is a metaphor for the looping format of the comic- but is so overproduced it becomes a confusing "searching for interpretation" sort of mystery. The subheadline ties things together so nicely. It's saying that Lasagna Cat isn't some deep mystery with advanced social commentary and intricate secrets, it's just a simple joke (poking fun at Paws Inc.) that was given too much time and money. It's so perfect! I know this dot connects!!

[@Segadrome]

"We live in a society, Jon."

[@mat0378]

I think the line "unfocused joke granted too many resources and time" may also be a bit of self deprecation on the part of the content creators. I think the absurdity of the premise is what makes these videos so funny to me. Taking Garfield so seriously and for so long. Like a joke thats funny, stops being funny, and becomes funny again after its been overdone for so long. I think they are poking fun at anyone who takes it serious, which is Paws inc for sure, but Lasagna Cat is also taking it so seriously. I think you hit the nail on the head there with this video.

[@TheMightyPika]

Here I was thinking the joke of Lasagna Cat was using an instantly recognizable, easily grasped property and using it to tease people who take absurd things too seriously. The bukkaki video, the two teenagers filming a fight scene, an intellectual ranting for an hour about a comic strip, the artsy bullcrap in the last video, etc. All inherently stupid things taken with utmost seriousness. Putting Garfield there makes it impossible to be fooled by the fake serious tone these things desperately want you too believe.

[@billcipher2604]

Roman Jones I think the "fake serious and deep" tone came right after the channel became popular and people started overanalizing it. It's a way to make fun of people who think the channel is meaningful, filling it with fake deep stuff like the ending.

The three panel structure, with the first two panels setting up the joke and the third providing the punchline, is the default structure for daily strips, from Garfield to Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes, etc. etc. Most also have recurring themes, jokes and situations: for example, Calvin & Hobbes has the babysitter stories, the grotesque snowman, Hobbes sneak attacking Calvin at the front door, the philosophical sled rides, etc. The comic strips' creators had very strict deadlines and hardly any days off, which often led to stress and writer's block, as they had to come up with five strips and one Sunday strip a month in advance. On top of this, the newspapers limited the space and formatting of the strips, severely confining the creativity. Bill Watterson goes into all this in detail in the Calvin & Hobbes 10th Anniversary anthology. I agree that Jim Davis comes across as arrogant, and his strips aren't particularly memorable (at least not to me, but Garfield does have a huge fan base). But when you consider the situation of daily strips - the hard deadlines, large amounts of works, little pay (which is why most creators made their money through slapping their creations on products) - to do what he did for forty years is still an impressive achievement.

[@chaincat33]

I think I prefer Night Mind's conclusion. But this brings up a lot of points Nick missed, and adds up to make a lot of sense. Firstly, Jon started off as a comical, self-depreciating, self-insert for Jim Davis. Jim Davis has had two wives by the time lasagna cat did the sex survey results, keep this in mind for later. Combine this with how Paws inc view themselves and their creation, and essentially how Jim Davis views it. Lasagna Cat treats each comic as though it was actually something monumental, when it obviously isn't, but Jim seems to think it is. We get to the sex survey results, and this is where we're met with a discrepency. Jon is single. The character of Jon will always be a virgin. Jim on the other hand, has had wives, and so we can assume that for each wife, they have had sex, therefore two sexual partners at minimum, the only safe bet. This leads to them finally deconstructing Garfield completely. Garfield is, and has been for a long time, dead. The mannequins, the viewers, show this to Jim. But even so, Garfield has grown too big. Even if the comic has long since lost its luster, the character, the brand, and the associated spin-off media has simply expanded too much. Jim can't escape garfield. And he will die by Garfield, but not with it. No, once he dies, someone will succeed him, someone will keep telling the jokes. They have to. Even though it's long since run stale, they have to keep the brand as alive as possible. So they'll keep telling the same jokes, keep telling the same stories, keep running it deeper into it's own ditch. All because of Jim Davis's own ego-stroking project. Except, well, is it really? Is Jim really some desperate, self absorbed man, who gets worked up over sexual partners, eternally haunted by his creation's spectre? Probably not. Jim has already expressed that he knows Garfield the comic is, and has been dead for a long time. He just keeps doing it because it's necessary. Because it's what he set out to do in the first place. If he could drop the comic and focus entirely on managing the brand, he probably would in a heartbeat. Maybe even start a new comic to run into the ground. But at least he'd have a bit of life in it at the start.

[@owem6511]

To be fair, you have to have a *very* high IQ to understand Garfield. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical quantum superposition most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Garfield's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Dr. Seuss's literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Garfield truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in Garfield's existential catchphrase "**LASAGNA**" which itself is a cryptic reference to Jesus's epic The Bible. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Jim Davis's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Garfield tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin' personnel kiddooooo 😎
