When it comes to Odie, I can best describe him as the original Ferb, where they don't really need words to convey what they mean. It's like what Red says in Pokémon Masters "Words are unnecessary."

[@Mini_man170]

Famous words: bark bark

[@Blueblur_33]

He literally calculated how many quarts of milk

[@night_theme]

I feel like he either prefers to bark, or he’s mute.

[@SethBryant1982]

In one episode of the old TV show didn't the cats use a machine to dampen his intelligence in order to prevent him from ruining their plan for world domination since he was the only one that found out about it? I remember that. So the cats did it.

[@Riley.-sJoy]

@@Banana807ik the creator said that but in the newest Garfield series they find Lyman

[@gobstersquad3570]

I think it’s because, that one scene when the cat villain tried talking to humans, and all they heard was “meow”, I think odie was supposed to be a clue to what humans really hear, it’s not that he can’t talk, because obviously Garfield understands him, it’s just they wanted to show us that the animals appear to be barking or meowing and what better way to show it, than taking the “sidekick” and making them “not talk”.

[@david.K.K]

Odie was SO DAMN hungry that he had to say it

[@davidparr4636]

He's like Ferb if he actually said what he was thinking you would have realized the actual futility of your whole existence.

[@stomper1232]

In the 3D animated direct to dvd movies he can talk a little bit, but the continuity is a little weird there as Jon can understand exactly what Garfield is saying

[@4K_Asahi]

Not assuming it's called something like "mind read" or that Jon just knows what Garfield needs; same for Odie

[@lugialover2496]

Odie was also smart in the 3D Garfield movies like Garfield's Fun Fest when he needed to be. He solved those riddles during the journey. Odie is smarter than we give him credit for.

I dont wanna think about this movie anymore than i have to. That movie was one of those that i would watch if there was literally nothing else.

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

There was an episode of Garfield and Friends called "Mistakes Will Happen", where Garfield and Odie watch the titular episode in response to letters they've received from viewers saying they spotted mistakes on the show. The episode is ripe with both animation and dialogue errors, all done on purpose. At one point, Garfield asks Odie, "Can you believe Pete trying to scare us like that?", to which Odie tells him, "I don't know, I'm kind of scared."

[@MasonSansoucie]

I want every single episode from Garfield and Friends and Odie doesn't speak I'm hungry 🤨

[@Jade-nc4iu]

It's the book

[@richardhernandez4529]

don't forget in Garfield Gets Real movie, he has spoken in the movie saying "My Bone" as he jumps off to get his bone above the flames

[@amandareeves5101]

I love those characters that never talk and then only once twice, they actually say something.

[@laurapatricialimamartinez862]

In fact, in the movie, they show us that the animals aren't able to speak like humans, but in this cartoonish world, humans seems to be aware of the intelligence of some animals, and that's why someone created an app that's able to translate some of the common animals when they speak, such as cats and dogs (or just for the laughs, but it works, so it doesn't matter). Edit: Why did I write this in Spanish is beyond me 😂 Sorry for that.

[@god-m8h]

he was thinking not talking so wrong

[@Theskullgamer895]

On “The Garfield Show” season 3, episode 16, Odie becomes really smart and talks

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

Hilariously enough, in the animated movie, Odie is voiced by Harvey Guillén, who also voiced Perrito from Puss In Boots 2, he voiced 2 dogs in 2 animated movies, good dog.

[@niallmcgrandles9156]

Odie s barks are so cute and adorable ❤🥹

[@beauwalker9820]

There's actually an old Garfield comic strip dating back to 6-15-1980, and featured in the fourth collection book "Garfield Weighs In" where Odie briefly says something in a thought balloon. Said comic is so old, it features the mysteriously disappeared Lyman, Jon's room-mate, and Odie's original owner.

[@user-bu5qn8iv1e]

He’s so smart that he knows if he actually talks his owner might know that he can talk and he might get suspicious and think that’s not actually animal

[@jmc5661]

I always assumed it was because he was shy or something

[@user-bu3gp3us8q]

Odie was literally the gromiit mixed with Lisa Simpson of the movie 😅

[@thesunsetparkclown2987]

Maybe Odie only talk when Lyman is around and since Lyman went “missing “ years ago, Odie refuses to talk

[@cwmofficial240]

Actually, there was another time Odie was able to talk. In the movie "Garfield gets real", Odie said the words; "My Bone!"

[@The_Blue_CherryXXL]

In the comic, it wasn’t a speech bubble. It was a thinking bubble.

[@stevetheslayer2330]

There's a difference between thinking and talking in a comic It's called thought bubbles and word bubbles In that case word bubbles can be understood by everyone and the reader, while thought bubbles can only be understood by the animals and the reader and nobody else

Bro doesn't want to pay taxes
