Garfield is a tired-out sack of shit about a fucking obese cat who eats all the food in the house and is probably from Boston. His owner's ambiguously gay and strangely attractive.
One of the worst comics in the newspaper, second only to The Family Circus. The setting always consists of the same countertop, and involves Garfield eating food or smacking a spider with a rolled up newspaper.
Shit like Garfield is adored by the masses, while The Boondocks is yanked from papers because it might offend some white people.
