I
asked readers to analyze the enduring popularity of cartoonist Jim Davis’
Garfield. If you did, thanks. I appreciate it. I know why I read Pearls,
Dilbert, Speed Bump, and Peanuts. But Garfield? “We live in a time when we feel
guilty about not exercising and over-sleeping and over-eating, but Garfield’s
cool with that. I think that is what people really appreciate about him,” Davis
told the Washington Post. A Thai researcher who analyzed 624 “Garfield” strips
found that the two most frequently occurring themes were 1) Jon’s silly ideas
or actions when dealing with women and 2) Garfield’s gluttony.
