Garfield's hardly ever particularly funny... but that's GREAT! :D

Ruby - Up until about 8 months ago I'd agree with you. Garfield lost his "fastball" in the mid-'80s, and was consistently one of the worst comics. It only stayed around because of its iconic status, its memory in people's hearts and minds.

Then....

SOMETHING happened. My bet (and I have no knowledge of this, but I literally wish I could bet on it) is that Jim Davis got himself a girlfriend. Or laid. Some reason to be funny again. Garfield started to be funny now and again. it's the damndest thing. (Check out Monkey Barn for some more examples of this.)
