Garfield (comic strip)

everyone's talking about how he's in the basement. But his head was IN THE OVEN IN SCARY SCAVENGER HUNT 2

Did you know that Garfield and Friends was going to just be U.S. Acres without Garfield, but since no networks would pick it up because Garfield wasn't a part of the show, U.S. Acres had to be one third of the show?

I feel like we should add a proper list of character page in a manner not unlike Garfield's family or the Arbuckle family for characters in a piece of Garfield media. When I say "a piece of Garfield media," I generally mean every installment in a series like Garfield and Friends or the 20th Century Studios films, for example. This could be beneficial as it provides a place for characters that doesn't have enough information to sustain a page for the time being or at all (i.e. Garfield's father prior to the 2024 movie) and to provide an index for every character in that accompanying piece of media (established or otherwise).

Since Garfield's 45th Birthday is on Monday, I think it would be fitting to add pages on Anniversary campaigns for the franchise to the Wiki.

On June 18, 2023, Cathy and Robert Kothe will be appearing on an episode of the MeTV original series Collector's Call with their world-record Garfield collection. The episode airs at 6:30 PM EST.

Description:

"With over 6000 unique pieces of Garfield memorabilia, it’s no surprise Cathy Kothe holds the Guinness World Record for the largest collection dedicated to the lasagna-loving cat. As a young child, she became enamored with the Sunday comic, and that love snowballed into a house filled with orange tabby cats. We’re joined by Cathy’s husband, Robert, who embraces life amongst the orange felines and refers to himself as Cathy’s greatest “enabler.” The couple co-authored a book, “Loves Garfield,” documenting their collecting adventures over the years. Nancy Vega, the President of the Garfield Gathering, joins us as we explore this massive collection, and she’s found one Garfield collectible that Cathy doesn’t have to offer in an enticing trade."

I am curious to see what content is exclusive to The Wide World of Garfield, even if I wouldn't download any copy from the internet due to security reasons (nor that anyone would on their usual account or anything other than a virtual machine of any kind). I am particularly curious about character biographies and if the 2000 Paws, Incorporated logo was present on it, given that it was seen on the CD-Rom.

Packaging that contains screenshots of the CD.

I wonder if anything unique is present on it, and if it would be added to pages on the wiki if it is unique.

1. Are we allowed to add the MSN copies of the recent daily strips?

2. Can we add the older United Feature Syndicates/Universal Press Syndicate copies of the strips? What about the select 1995 - ~2000 strips on GoComics (duplicates or otherwise)?

3. Are reference links to GoComics (non-duplicate strips, as well as Garfield Classics strips) and Garfield.com (archived links of the full version of the versions of select strips and those last officially seen on the site) fine?

4. Are watermarked pictures of footage fine if the watermarked copies are the only available copy available (easily accessible or otherwise; i.e. Garfield and Friends quickies not seen on current releases)? I would also ask if pictures taken via a camera would also be acceptable with the same logic.

5. Where did the information of Nickelodeon's take of Garfield.com (the version said to have launched in October) come from?

6. Are officially uploaded content (content uploaded to the Garfield [Official Garfield] YouTube channel, Garfield and Friends, THE GARFIELD SHOW OFFICIAL) fine to link?

Could anyone please tell what date and year was the past Sunday strip depicting Garfield encounters a zoo-escapee lion?

Since Nick has SpongeBob as its official mascot, but can Garfield be secondary Nickelodeon mascot? Like how Universal has Minions after Woody Woodpecker. This would make sense since Garfield is orange line a Nickelodeon logo.

Here are the influences and inspiration for Garfield.

What else I missed?

Regarding from the poll I posted: https://garfield.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000031043, here’s my possibility concept I made: this here is a screenshot of the Universal‘s Islands of Adventure theme park I took and add phase line of what the future Garfield section would be like. I’m imagine if this Garfield section would be pier-themed, like DCA’s Pixar Pier. What did you think?

Where can I find the original, un-edited versions, of those comics?
