Garfield cartoonist denies Jon drinks a cup of dog semen in comic strip

I read Garfield as a kid and liked it. I’d scoop up a big bowl of ice cream and read a collection. It’s a comic strip for kids and Davis has never made claims of it being anything more.

I think the Garfield and Friends cartoons completely tapped whatever creative juices he might have once possessed. You might recall it was right around then that the six-day bizarre is-Garfield-dead-or-something series ran.

And if I did want something more substantial, I’d reach for Bloom County, Far Side, or (of course) Calvin and Hobbes.

Am I the only one who has never quite been able to figure out what is so great about Bloom County?

I always figured Davis for a commercial hack so I was heartened to see him so eagerly embrace Garfield Minus Garfield. I kinda wish he’d take Garfield in that direction (not literally, just that shade of humor) for, say, the last six weeks of the strip.

I suppose someone here has to post the XKCD.
