As an 8 year old there was one thing that i looked forward to every sunday, considering that i could not wait for church to end, i would rush into the apartment that i lived in and sit on the couch for a second, to relax. I would then check if my grandmother had  bought the sunday paper(i lived with my grandparents, i would rather not explain why), if she didn't theni would walk into my room, i would play my ds, or read, or play with the knex set that i had.

However if she did buy the newspaper then i would search though the sea of tree pulp to find two things, the first being the crossword puzzle, i utterly loved those, and the second being the sunday funnies. (being born in  the year 2000 made it a bit late for me to love the classics, but oh well)

i loved the humor of  family circus, the witty jokes of pearls before swine, but my favorite one was garfield. i loved how the lasanga loving cat always  made it through what mischief he got himself into, and how he loved catching a few more hours of sleep, dreaming of lasanga. i would never think that there was more behind the life of this happy fat content cat...

part 2 :the shocking truth
A few days ago i was bored, surfing youtube, looking to see if   someordinairygamers had posted any new videos, particularly his haunted gameing and creepypasta videos. i  then looked up  cartoon theorys, like the  adventure time one, which did not effect me, or the smurfs nazi thoery, which i laughed at. i mean come on, little blue men nazi's? they might as well bring in a red indiana jones for crying out loud, but the theory made sense. i then  found a top 10 creepy cartoon theorys, so i decided to take a look. not many of them surprised me, i had read better creepypastas about these, exept the rugrats thoery, which semmed pretty legit, and kind of sad.

what shocked me though was that there was a theory on the garfield comic series, i thought that it would be a cliche theory that it was about a kid who thought he was a cat, or that jon was imagining it, but  this theory really shocked me to the bone.it told of a  series 1989 halloween comic  strips that jon davis wrote,entitled "alone".

It begins with our favorite cat waking up and complaining about the cold, and  saying that he is feeling an eerie sensation, saying that where he is isn't his home.he then walks into the hallway calling for odie and jon, and he looks all around the house, and realisez that he is alone. his concience tells him about how he doesn't know how alone he is, and the happy looking house turns sorrowful and abandoned.garfield makes up a few reasons why jon and odie are gone, and he picks up a picture of the trio, and realises that his home has been abondoned for years, realising that he hasn't lived there for years, yet he has.

He then  hears something, and sees jon and odie in the kitchen, jon offering breakfast to garfield. the food and jon dissapear, leaving  the poor cat in the abondoned house. garfield sees his life is a lie, that he is slowely going insane from starvation,  and that odie and jon have left or died, leaving him trapped in the forclosed  house with no one.he uses the only mental weapon that he has left.....denial, he denies that his life is a lie, and he hulicinates about  his happy "life" ending the comic,with a moral.

This comic tells us a number of things, that i have managed to put together.the abondoned house and absense of people is how we would view garfields life through  our eyes, like with the pyro from TF2. inside garfields mind however, he is dreaming up his past life, reliving old memories to keep the lonelieness away, like how the pryo thinks that the world is a big huge candyland. it also tells us that the whole comic series is a lie, that garfield has been making it all up, re-acting his past life, and adventures so he doesn't have to face the truth.he has slowely gone insane from hunger and lonelyness that he temperaraly  sees reality as it is, the truth too devestating that he seals himself into his fantasy life, and that as he dies, that his eyes close for the final time, seeing that his owner has left him to die............... but who knows, maybe, just maybe...garfield will open his eyes and see jon and odie by his side, ready to help him live his "happy " life......go on research this.. the comic exists.........
