Funniest Garfield Comics Celebrating Their 30th Anniversary
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Some of Garfield's funniest strips have just reached their 30th anniversary. Garfield has delighted young and old for more than 45 years since it premiered in 1978. Jim Davis' newspaper strip about a cat with a love for lasagna is still running strong today with new adventures daily, a variety of merchandise and even a new movie set for May 2024 starring Chris Pratt.
"The best thing about how it's handled, though, is the use of common comic elements to emphasize Garfield's lack of respect." 8 Garfield Gets a Threatening New Neighbor April 2, 1994 "Beware of the Dog" signs have become a classic running gag in the Garfield franchise as the titular cat often comes face-to-face with less-than-friendly dogs while outside. However, this comic takes the cake as the absolute best. As Garfield is shown walking outside, he comes across a "Beware of the Dog" sign that seems to have trailed off while the owner was writing it.
The April 13, 1994 strip features Garfield after eating a plate of cookies as Jon asks what happened to them. Garfield tries to come up with an excuse, but Jon immediately gives up by telling him to just wipe the crumbs off his face. Whether this was pre-determined or coincidental, the fact that these two comics connect is absolutely hilarious. It plays into the theme of wondering about the future in a way only Garfield can, making it one of the comic's absolute best meta jokes.
This is a pretty funny way of showing how much food plays a role in Garfield's life. He's always so quick to assume that anything on a plate is something edible, so he's developed a Pavlovian instinct to eat anything he sees. This essentially establishes that Garfield's stomach has taken a priority over his thoughts, making him far more at risk of eating something accidentally that he shouldn't.
3 Not Even Bricks Faze Garfield's Appetite April 27, 1994 Garfield has proven time and again that he will eat pretty much anything. In the same month, he even showed that he'll consume what he thinks is food, even if it might not be. However, this hilarious gag shows that Garfield is willing to eat inedible things if he must. Jon is shown bringing a cake out, telling the reader that he's secretly put a brick inside.
