1427: Garfield Around the Web WTF
Garfield Around the Web WTF |
![]() Made by: Craig Wittler |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
This strip takes an image that was presumably used on the Garfield "About" page on GoComics at the time of submission and switches the order of the social media icons to spell out an acronym with a profane meaning. As the profane word involved wasn't itself invoked in the strip proper, the transcript, or the author's notes, this strip was able to make it through the Square Root of Minus Garfield content standards.
The image itself still exists in the GoComics archives as of this writing even after the controversial rework of April 2025, but is no longer used on the current version of the Garfield "About" page; the current interface still has the social media links, and the lack of a website link on the current interface lines up with garfield.com having been shut down on 2020-06-19.

Garfield's page on the gocomics.com site has a graphic with links to Garfield's Website, Facebook, & Twitter. But a small change in the order of the icons can make a different message.
