I thought I was aware of all the internet perversions of Garfield, the horror stuff, the “Garfield minus Garfield” (and many similar re-mixes), but wow… the videos alone go so far beyond what I was aware of. The whole thing is fascinating. That such a banal, shallow, cliched comic (with its weird undercurrent of cruelty towards really all of its characters) should inspire such flights of fancy. Precisely because of that banal, shallow, cliched, cruel ubiquity.
Also, the Lovecraftian Garfield images only date back to 2018? It seems like it’s been around for a lot longer than that. Seems like they’ve been around… forever.
