Jon Arbuckle drops the F-bomb

[Whatthe]

So I was browsing TV Tropes. On their Garfield page, I noticed a snippet claiming that the movie Garfield Gets Real features a text-blurred version of this fan-edited Garfield strip:

I was curious, and checked the movie to confirm it. As it turns out, the strip is indeed in the movie, but the text is actually just too out-of-focus to read...except in one shot.

This is an unedited screenshot from Garfield Gets Real. Look in the bottom-right...

My...

My childhood...

[Tengukami]

Yeah, that's a really old Garfield shoppage. I first saw that in ... 2007 or 2008 maybe? Kinda surprised to see it in the official Garfield movie, but then, I'd never watch either of those films.

WHAT i am confused this must be a fake.

The comic strip is fake.

In other words, I really didn't even notice that the first time around. What the hell :wat:

[Bias Bus]

I figured it was fake, especially when you put the words 'Jon Arbuckle' and 'F-bomb' together. :V

Still managed to rape my childhood, though.  :qq:

Haha, his loneliness was too much for him....

Never was a fan of Garfield, though, so it didn't affect me much.

Now this, on the other hand, has completely altered my perception of the comic for life.

Hey. Guys? For those who haven't seen it...

This is from the actual comic. Read from that point on, until the "end" a few strips later.

Now rethink everything you know about Garfield and its author.

The one actual Garfield comic run that I really liked! YES!

I do remember reading some theory online where this was the end of Garfield, and that every comic after that was Garfield's increasingly paranoid attempts to recall all his memories of home as he starves to death in his new settings.

Please people, my childhood can take only so many blows...

I remember reading this from the Garfield books I had when I was a kid. Always my favorite part.

Garfield pre-end of the Cold War.

Hmph. Goddamn.

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

I died laughing at the OP.

But yeah, that "alone" storyline is p.sweet.

[Whatthe]

I wonder if whoever made the shopped strip is aware it was used in the official movie :V

The funny thing is, it's technically okay for it to be in there, since the movie is unrated (it went straight to DVD, so they didn't need to give it a rating).

[Drake]

The funny part is that it'd be pretty easy to photoshop any strip onto that screenshot.

My thoughts exactly.

[Serela]

Almost makes me want to rent the movie and check.

Oh god that's hilarious if it's true, though.

[Whatthe]

Okay, here's the proof!

This is Garfield Gets Real's Trailers page on the official Garfield website. Watch Trailer 2 (preferably in Large quality), pause it when the announcer says "found a way out," and compare that to the links in the OP!

(For more proof, near the bottom of the page, there's a link to the official Garfield YouTube channel. Watch the trailer there, pause it at the same point, and see the same strip!)

[Solais]

I actually tried to watch this movie. I stopped it after 10 minutes, because the movie itself raped my childhood several times, rather than some random edit.

And I still like Garfield, I read the newest strip every day.

[ふとくていなねこじょおう]

I really didn't like the movie much, and that new 3D model series isn't very good, either. I preferred the old drawn Garfield cartoons.

[XephyrEnigma]

that new 3D model series

It has it's moments, but yeah, its pretty mediocre.

...well I'll be damned. So it is there. o_o

[Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin]

Man ... I wonder if Tyler Durden was in the production crew.

Anyone else think that a movie about a cartoon character going to the real world should actually go to the real world to have a point, as opposed to just another CGI nearly identical landscape?

I hope not. Chances are that it'll be another cash-in without much real merit.
