I've started to feel like I'm looking through Garfield's eyes when I see these strips.

How refreshing (and surprising) that an artist would find a derivative of his work beneficial. I wonder if they entered into some kind of mutual agreement.

Yes the *ahem* was not really what I wanted to mean, it looks a little harsh sorry about that Miss C.
Next time I'll post in silence

Deja vu.

When you consider that his conversations are all one-sided even with Garfield in them, it makes about the same sense.

Agreed. Totally legit post. I'd been wondering what Jim Davis thought of the morphing of his comics. I'm kinda glad he likes it, because its about a hundred times funnier than regular Garfield.

I'm guessing the ahem has to do with the fact that this same site was reported on Neatorama a little over three months ago. But I still don't think an ahem is warranted since this article is about Jim Davis' reactions more than anything else.

Christophe, what's the *ahem* for? The previously featured link works for me.

Wow I love those videos! Acted out by real people shows how lame it really is and the music videos after are surreal

In reality, Garfield would be dead, so it makes total sense. And a weird guy like Jon just can't function without his beloved pet.

Maybe Jim Davis should try some shrooms and he would actually have a new perspective on his comics, Garfield died LONG ago.

It's a bit creepy when you read them. It's as if Garfield passed away and Jon just hasn't realized it.

"Mr. Davis, who has been drawing Garfield for 30 years.."
Riiiight.
Now that's funny.
