Jon Arbuckle is a Dumbass
Every day, Jon Arbuckle of the popular comic Garfield wakes up to go about his daily business. Somewhere along the way, an insane cat named Garfield fucks things up with cynicism, making Jon look like a dumbass. Hilarity ensues.
I have a question, Jon: Why don't you get a new cat? One that doesn't eat all of your food, allow mice to roam freely around your house, and hurts your social life would be nice.
But, alas, Jon's own thickheadedness prevents him from seeing the problem. He thinks it's his fault that he can't get a date, but I assure you it's all Garfield. Who sabotages the meals Jon prepares for his dates? Garfield. Who hides in the trunk and comes out in the middle of Jon's dates? Garfield. When Jon's date has had a pail of water poured onto her, who do you think did it? Garfield.
Does the author think we enjoy these comics? I don't. I think it's like getting a good gum slicing. Give the guy a break.
If Garfield were my cat, I would personally put him to sleep with one too many cyanide pills in the lasagna.
Does Jon think up any brilliant schemes like this? No! Because he's a dumbass! And yet, people enjoy reading about things they can relate to, so Garfield continues to be a popular comic.
Dumbasses read about dumbasses.
