Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this… uh… Garfield thing. I ain’t too good with these fancy words and all that, but I’ll tell ya what I know, ya hear?
So, this Garfield… he’s a cat. A real fat, lazy cat, if ya ask me. Folks been readin’ ’bout him in them… comic strips, they call ’em. Been around for donkey’s years, this cat has. I heard tell he’s been around since like… 1978 or somethin’. That’s a long time, even for an old lady like me. Makes him… let me see… well, pretty darn old that’s for sure.
Now, this Garfield 2011 July, that’s what they told me to talk about. Seems like back in July of 2011, folks were still readin’ ’bout this cat’s shenanigans. Every day, they had a new little story ’bout him. Like, one day he’d be eatin’ lasagna, the next day he’d be kickin’ that poor dog, Odie, off the table. Just a lazy, good-for-nothin’ cat, that’s what he is.
- He loves eatin’, that’s for sure. Always stuffin’ his face.
- And sleepin’. Don’t think I ever seen a cat sleep so much.
- He’s always makin’ fun of that Odie fella. Poor dog just wants to be friends, I reckon.
- And then there’s Jon, his owner. A real pushover, that one. Lets Garfield get away with murder.
They got these things called apps now, you know? On them fancy phones. And you can see all these old Garfield comics on ’em. Every day from July 2011, just like lookin’ at the newspaper back then, only now it’s on a little screen. You can even pick a day, like, say, July 27th or July 24th, 2011, and see what that darn cat was up to. Folks sure do love lookin’ at that cat, even though he ain’t nothin’ but trouble.
I heard some folks sayin’ he’s like 46 years old now, in people years. Can you believe that? A 46-year-old cat! Must be all that lasagna he’s eatin’. Keeps him goin’, I guess. But they say that’s human years, cat years are different I reckon, so in cat years, he ain’t THAT old. They told me, see, that he’s still around, still makin’ them comics.
Now, some folks got all worried a while back, thinkin’ Garfield died or somethin’. He didn’t die! Just some silly story they made up, tryin’ to be all deep and meaningful. Garfield’s still around, eatin’ and sleepin’ and bein’ a pain in the neck. That’s just how he is.
And he’s got this girlfriend, Arlene. A pink cat, can you believe it? Always battin’ her eyelashes at him. He don’t seem too interested, though. Too busy eatin’, I guess. Or sleepin’. Or kickin’ Odie. That cat ain’t got time for romance, seems like.
So, this Garfield… he’s just a cat. A cartoon cat, mind you. But folks seem to like him. Maybe it’s ’cause he’s so lazy, and we all wish we could be that lazy sometimes. Or maybe it’s ’cause he’s so grumpy, and we all feel grumpy sometimes. Or maybe it’s just ’cause he’s funny, in his own way. I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure: that cat’s been around a long time, and he ain’t goin’ nowhere anytime soon. Especially not if there’s lasagna around.
So, that’s the lowdown on this Garfield 2011 July thing. Just a bunch of stories ’bout a fat cat. Nothin’ too complicated. But folks seem to like it, so who am I to judge? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make myself some supper. And no, it ain’t lasagna.
Garfield comic strips are funny things. Makes ya laugh sometimes, makes ya shake your head other times. But that’s life, I guess. Full of lazy cats and silly dogs and folks who just let ’em get away with murder.
And that’s all I gotta say ’bout that. You want more, you go look it up on that there internet thing. They got all sorts of stuff on there, if you know where to look. Just be careful, though. Lots of nonsense out there too. Just like that Garfield cat… full of nonsense, but still kinda lovable, I guess.
Garfield’s characteristics are pretty clear. He’s selfish, for sure. Always wants what he wants and never thinks of others. He’s sarcastic, always saying mean things, but people think it’s funny, go figure. Lazy, that’s his main thing, don’t think I’ve ever seen him do a lick of work. But… and this is the strange part… he’s got a way about him, an endearing way, they call it. Makes ya like him, even when he’s bein’ a pain.
Anyways, that’s the story, as best as I can tell it. This Garfield fella, he’s somethin’ else. A real piece of work, that cat is. But hey, he keeps folks entertained, and I guess that’s somethin’. Now, I gotta go. Got things to do. Unlike that lazy cat.
