lazygarfield

Made by: monterrang

Explanation

This strip takes the concept of laziness as told in the original Garfield strip (although perhaps better told via the later 3849: Laziness IS contagious) and exaggerates the core setup of the strip. The narrative of this strip is Garfield calling out to Jim Davis in vain over the strip's setup, only to imply that Jim had somehow died at his work station pressing a copy-paste button.

Although this strip was not meant to be a serious take on the subject, comic artists dying at their work stations is, in fact, truth in television; Johnny Hart of B.C. and The Wizard of Id fame, for example, was reported to have actually died at his work station.

The author writes:

my little comment: the original strip was trying to break the 4th wall with the laziness, not as if Garfield went this route for decades ololol

seriously what... -_-'

Original strip: 2018-05-05.
