CastletonSnob Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Why do people shit on Jim Davis for merchandising Garfield so heavily? Why does nobody criticize Scott Adams for licensing Dilbert? I mean, Dilbert had his own FOOD in the late 90s with Dilberito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he went the completely other way, not licensing his characters for anything (as far as I know). That can be seen as the “noble” thing to do or whatever, preserving his legacy and all that. Which I get and appreciate, but at the same time, we live in a capitalist hellscape. So get that bag, Jim. Let that fuckin lazy, lasagna eating cat make you all the money he can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Well, no. Garfield was made specifically to be monetized. He wasn't created and later monetized. Garfield's entire existence is cynical, and Jim Davis is quite open about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Nobody hates Jim Davis unless he's pulled a Scott Adams and fell off the right wing cliff. Davis has done what I would do if created something worth a ton. Milk it for all it's worth and live a quiet life where I enjoy my wealth and don't read my name in the news. Now, hating the comic is all well and good. I enjoy Garfield Minus Garfield a lot more than the original comics. garfield minus garfield GARFIELDMINUSGARFIELD.NET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
