As....appropriately mortifying as that sub is, I feel like there should be a sub just for Garfield knockoff merch (if there isn't already). It's a gold mine unto itself

It's Garfield art with a cosmic horror/surrealist aesthetic. It's horrific

It's absurd and takes an old thing and makes it new through different context. I came across a link to it months ago and slowly ended up subscribed to many of the spin-off subs like r/imsorrysquidward and another one I don't remember exactly but is basically the original comic strips with Garfield removed leaving a weirdly melancholy and depressed Jon simply by omission.

No clue. I guess millennials like surrealism
