Garfield did not premiere in comics on June 19, 1978. That was the premiere of his nation syndicated run. He previously appeared in the Indiana newspaper The Pendleton Times.

3:43 What you say here isn't inaccurate, but I do want to correct that the general internet understanding of this isn't correct. Jim Davis joked in an anniversary book ONE TIME that Lyman might be in Jon's basement. The game you see here, Garfield Scary Scavenger Hunt 2, is NOT set in the Garfield home. It is set in a creepy haunted house, and every character from the franchise is depicted in some creepy way. For instance, you can find Liz' head hidden in the kitchen. But no one says Liz is dead!

In July 1986, it was Monday for a week. Mondays hate Garfield so much that they rewrote time itself just to torment Garfield for 8 days straight.

My brain started bleeding the second I heard "Garzooka"

According to Jim Davis, Lyman was drafted into the Vietnam War and died on the front lines. The idea that Jon isn't able to understand Garfield's thoughts doesn't hold up to scrutiny. They do actually sometimes directly respond to each other. It's possible he has an extremely refined sense of Garfield's body language, but there are times that Jon does things that would _require_ him to understand the exact wording of Garfield's thoughts. Garfield is unknowable, inevitable, and terrifying.

I remember as a real little kid first getting into Garfield, thinking that he could talk and everyone understood him. The fact that his lines were in a thought bubble while everyone else had speech bubbles didn't connect with me (I mean I was only like 5 or 6 at the time). Then one day after reading hundreds of Garfield strips by that point, I read a comic where Jon says something like, "Don't you just wish you could understand your pets?" After he found Garfield in some bizarre situation. And I remember how that one strip shook my whole world. Everything I thought I understood about Garfield had been flipped on its head. I started to reread comics I had already read and I suddenly was finding completely different ways to look at all of them. I'm not lying when I say that was a moment I'll never forget where my mind was blown, and by this dumb comic strip about a fat lazy cat of all things.

Don't know if you still read the comments here, but you could follow this up with Heathcliff since he's canon to the Garfield lore (specifically, he is addressed by Garfield in an intro to Garfield and Friends).

I used to get Garfield compilation books at the library and read them for hours. I love Garfield. (Also you forgot to mention the Garfield x Grumpy Cat comic)

Garfield has been breaking the 4th wall forever. He regularly comments about the script and sometimes you see the filming equipment in the original animated series.

'Monday' in the garfield universe was shown to be more than the day of the week. It's a supernatural phenomenon that occurs on mondays and simply makes harmful forces come to garfield on its own. For example, in one of the comics, Garfield wishes for a (1-10?) ton lasagna and that lasagna tray falls on him for absolutely no reason apart from the fact it's 'Monday'. 'Monday' just has the power to manifest things in motion such as cream pies and saws. If I recall correctly, which I probably don't, 'Monday' also has a visible, physical form.

Nice, you actually talked about the direct-to-DVD movies. For some reason, most people don’t even acknowledge their existence. It doesn’t make sense to me that such a unique and meme-able trilogy has not sparked any discussion on the internet. Also, bonus points for not making fun of the art style/animation. KZreadrs do that all the time with movies like Hoodwinked, and I think it’s low-hanging fruit and not very funny.

"Garfield and Friends Garfield is probably the prime Garfield in the eyes of many. I wouldn't know. I grew up with these." Oh, you poor, deprived child.

Garfield and Friends is the most realistic portrayal of a cat in all of television

This video feels like Sam O'Nella and Scott the Woz had a forbidden baby, and auntie Izzzyzzz helped with raising him.

I genuinely almost cried when watching the nine lives segment where Garfield’s owner plays piano.

Odie doesnt talk because garfield isn’t talking, we are reading his thoughts and cats communicate with body language so thats why we understand them, we are seeing from garfields pov. Cats and dogs cant talk, cats and humans cant talk, cats and cats can. His mouth doesnt move in the comics, only the newer cartoons and i think live action movie, but mot og cartoons either.

There used to be a ride when I was younger at my local amusement park that was Garfield themed. It was a boat ride, and there were little comics all throughout it, but over time, the eyes of Garf went black, and it was one of the most creepy things. But overall it was a really fun ride. I’m sad they took it away.

Listening to an existential crisis about Garfield’s status as a deity while sealed vessel plays is something I never knew I needed

There's just something about Garfield that is so enthralling. We all like the funny cat that hates everything and eats lasagna. And we all love Jon for how wacky and normal he is.

I'm very surprised that when talking about the time loop theory, you didn't mention how every year on the anniversary of his comic debuting, Garfield canonically gets a year older. He's currently in his fourties. Not only is that more than twice as long as a normal house cat lives, but he's also *older than Jon now*, despite being younger than Jon during the earlier years of the series (since, y'know, Jon is visibly in his late twenties whenever any piece of Garfield media shows him buying Garfield). Also, WOW, what are the odds you'd post lore videos for Flipline _and_ Garfield? I don't know how much overlap there is in that Venn diagram, other than me, but count me impressed. Next thing I know you'll be doing a video on the lore of Cool Spot, and then I'll know I'm dreaming.

You seem pretty wholesome which is rare today, thanks for the video! Love the beginning about Italy too! God bless you

Garfield is a one to one accurate representation of living with a cat. You assume they can talk, you treat them better then you'd treat most other humans and most times if you own a cat, its because you either dislike human contact or you don't have any social skills

It's been so many years. @Quinton Reviews may know for certain.

Probably the reason why The Garfield Show has strange dialogue is because it was originally in French and dubbed into English later. Also could explain why it’s CGI

You just reawakened some repressed memories in me or something because now i vividly remember watching the old cartoons, the tv show, and all three of the CGI movies!!!

You know, I remember growing up an avid Garfield fan, watching Garfield and Friends and a few of his specials and collecting his books for a decade or so before eventually wandering away from it. It was a normal franchise at the time. Coming back to it years later, the internet has... *done things* to Garfield that I would have never thought would ever happen to it. I'm not complaining; it's fascinating, but also really weird so see how warped Garfield has become. You're probably right, too, in that he'll likely outlive us as individuals. He'll likely still be altered long after Jim Davis dies. It's truly wild to think about.

Another weird thing is when you look at the back of Garfield books from the 2000's it has a website you can go on to play games and order more Garfield books, but every time I typed in the URL it brought me to a website called professor Garfield and I think it was like a calculus tutorial, but since I was like in eighth grade I didn't care and was annoyed at it

Idk how you stretch something as simple as Garfield and make it this massive chaotic video, but I love it. I think you should’ve focused on Garfield and friends a bit more as it has some weird stuff in it

I was printing it out on a canvas because I'm a huge Garfield fan. It's hanging on my wall right this second. I also have the original photoshop file from years ago.

I googled it as well, and I found Garfield Minus John, and I'm sure that's where you got it from. But where on earth did THEY get it? And how??? It is the EXACT one I made. I'm hella confused.

Never thought sealed vessel would go so well in the last part

Um ACTUALLY Odie does say things, he said "I'm hungry" on June 15th 1980, therefore its canonical that he can speak, he just chooses not to speak.

"this is my body and i'm a cat" is just so funny for no reason

Garfield’s 9 lives will forever be one of the most bizarre but fantastic specials ever

This video is the most succinct summary I've yet seen of why "Gorefield" is popular. Garfield is terrifying. Omnipresent, yet rarely acknowledged. He's everywhere and nowhere. He's the unseen god that subtly, imperceptibly, controls our lives.

Just the lore of _Garfield and Friends_ would be enough to fill and entire video (did you know that cats came from space and gaslighted humans into servitude? Or that Wyoming is a hoax by map-makers?) The most relevant piece of data (aside for confirming again that parallel universes exist) is that an strong enough imagination can alter reallity. This is important because of the infamous Halloween 1989 series of comcistrips in wich Garfield wakes up in an abandoned house without trace of Oddie or Jon, and in its desperation, brings them back into existence with his imagination. That's why no character has aged in decades, Garfield is keeping everybody alive with his powerfull imagination... he's basically like that mutant kid from the "Legends" two-part episode of the _Justice League_

13:30 I never expected to hear the soundtrack Sealed Vessel from Hollow Knight play while someone wildly rants about Garfield being a celestial being Yes, as someone who has a hyperfixation on this game, I have to point it out

In both life action Garfield Movies, Jon goes out of his way to save Garfield and Odie from a rich guy

that last rant with Hollow Knight’s Sealed Vessel OST playing in the background did something to my brain chemistry

Wasn't there a Garfield comic where he woke up in an empty house and all those he knew and loved were dead and in the end, it's uncertain whether or not it was just a bad dream he had or if the life he's currently living is the dream since the real world is gone? And of course there is a universe in the Garfield universe where there is no Garfield. Just Jon. Garfield Minus Garfield.

That little Gilbert Garfield cameo at the end made me really happy.

garfield is a secret deity who lives longer than regular cats, can eat more food, can't suffer any side effects from said food, and can be surprisingly quick and agile, claiming jon is raising a being that transcends this mortal plane.
