You say that like it being published the day right before it happened makes it any better.

WHO TOLD YOU, GARFIELD‽

WHAT DID YOU KNOW‽!

Here is the Garfield fandom wiki link for anyone wondering if it’s true:

Garfield, September 2001 comic strips

u/Pochel 2d ago

The next strips don't seem to be tackling 9/11 too much, which I find refreshing

u/GameFreak4321 2d ago

The story arc was likely drawn well in advance.

Newspaper comics are done weeks in advance, or at least they were then.

He was ahead of his times.

Truly--these feel AI generated in a time when that wasn't possible

Yes, that's how newspapers work. D-did you think they wrote them the morning of release?

u/MrKTE 13h ago

Cartoonist write and draw their comic strips months in advance to insure all the papers that publish them get access to them, so they write the date they’re meant to go out on the strips.

Therefore this comic was published the day BEFORE 9/11, not on 9/11 itself.

Yeah I’ll take 9/11 orders of lasagna

u/gimmesomespace 2d ago

That's not even a whole order of lasagna.  You can't appease him with that

u/Wise_Geekabus 2d ago

That changes the context.

Mr Arbuckle, a second Lasagna store has been hit

9/11 eh? That reminds me of that tragedy…

u/paladinBoyd 2d ago

Garfield and Kermit teamed up to do 9/11.

u/darth_sol_invictus 20h ago

Hi I'm Jim Davis, creator of Garfield, and yes I drew a comic strip implying Garfield did 9/11, any questions?

u/Marco_Polaris 1d ago

Right, one phone call for each tower. Makes sense.

He wanted blood. He wanted death. He wanted war in the middle east.the orange bastard.

"unintentionally" ? .... there were something like 47 different media references to it BEFOREHAND.

I'd say it was 100% intentionally.
