		<description>I have to tread carefully here because I draw a strip that got kicked off the comic page of the UK Daily Mail a few years ago to make room for Garfield, so you might say &quot;Of course you hate him&quot;. But I tell you straight I hated that bland, unfunny strip and all its hokey characters LONG before it caused me to get the push. To my mind, most syndicated strips are pretty dead-tired. But yes, Garfield heads the list.</description>

		<description>(I seem to have a really long post, so once again, let&#039;s shorten it down.)

You know, I&#039;ve done &quot;a little research&quot; myself.  At the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.garfield.com/&quot; title=&quot;Official Site&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Official Site&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://garfield.nfshost.com/&quot; title=&quot;garfield.nfshost.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;garfield.nfshost.com&lt;/a&gt; search site, I looked up two well-known Garfield terms- &quot;lasagna&quot; and &quot;Monday&quot; to see how many results would come up.  As it turned out, both sites had less than 100 for &quot;lasagna&quot; and less than 150 for &quot;Monday.&quot;  With a new strip every day since its debut on June 19, 1978 (that&#039;s about 11,000 strips made since.) and with 250 strips made about lasagna and Mondays, that totals up to about &lt;em&gt;2 percent&lt;/em&gt; of the entire Garfield comic.  2 percent!

So basically, seeing a few strips or even as much as three books listed by the OP, Jim Davis can be dismissed as having &quot;no funny Garfield books. It’s all a myth. Garfield has sucked from day one and will continue to suck for all eternity.&quot;  Yep.  One &quot;Garfield Greatest Hits&quot; look at the comic and it&#039;s all we need to know that it ain&#039;t good.  According to that logic, then, what&#039;s so good about long-time artists like David Bowie?  Or Miles Davis?

The main idea is that if you truly dislike Garfield, then feel free to do so.  But please, there&#039;s no need to go forcing your opinion(s) upon others.</description>

		<description>(I seem to have a long post, so let&#039;s shorten it down, shall we?)

You know, I&#039;ve done &quot;a little research&quot; myself.  At the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.garfield.com/&quot; title=&quot;Official Site&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Official Site&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://garfield.nfshost.com/&quot; title=&quot;garfield.nfshost.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;garfield.nfshost.com&lt;/a&gt; search site, I looked up two well-known Garfield terms- &quot;lasagna&quot; and &quot;Monday&quot; to see how many results would come up.

So basically, seeing a few strips or even as much as three books listed by the OP, Jim Davis can be dismissed as having &quot;no funny Garfield books. It’s all a myth. Garfield has sucked from day one and will continue to suck for all eternity.&quot;  Yep.  One &quot;Garfield Greatest Hits&quot; look at the comic and it&#039;s all we need to know that it ain&#039;t good.  According to that logic, then, what&#039;s so good about long-time artists like David Bowie?  Or Miles Davis?

While I do agree that some of the more modern comic strips tend to be quite mediocre, Jim Davis does seem to be providing a breath of fresh air with some changes brought in.  Heck, nates mentioned Charlie Brown hitting a home run back in 1993 just months before this happened- Jon finally gets Liz (and just after Jon proposes to Liz in the second movie- tie in, anyone?) during a rather mixed-up date.  All these years of trying to get the right lover, he finally succeeds in late July of 2006.  And the strip has gone quite a bit uphill since then.  Not as significantly as the strip was in its prime, I&#039;d say, but uphill nonetheless.

As far as I&#039;m concerned, at least, Garfield isn&#039;t as repetitive as oft-described and deserves more credit than people tend to give it.  As Jim Davis himself said on &quot;30 Years of Laughs and Lasagna&quot;, &quot;This whole line of work is to make people happy and smile.  Getting paid for it is just a bonus.&quot;  Well, Garfield tends to make me happy (peer pressure from Garfield haters notwithstanding), so it looks like Jim Davis is happy enough for that, not that he&#039;s getting another buck because someone bought the newest compilation book or a rare collector&#039;s plate.  In fact, he even stated on The Daily Record, &quot;I would like to slow down on the business side of it, but I always want to do the comic.&quot;

I think the main idea is that if you truly dislike Garfield, then feel free to do so, even if, I&#039;m afraid, your &quot;hatred for Garfield burns with the intensity of 1,000 white-hot suns.&quot;  But please, there&#039;s no need to go forcing your opinion(s) upon others just because you find Garfield to be &quot;the epitome of evil and hatred in the world.&quot;  It just isn’t right.</description>
