It's nice to see Garfield being a funny melodramatic cat again after so much fan content depicting it exclusively as an eldritch monster or in a depressing way.
I agree. The amount of comments celebrating it made me worry they were all a joke, I just assumed he was going to transform into something. This is much comfier.
Everybody is talking about Garfield not being a cosmic horror for once- Meanwhile, I'm surprised Jon somehow lasted 50 seconds without screwing up his date 😅
It's a complete turn of the tables from what has become the standard in the Fandom, John is not the show's punching-bag and Garfield is still a melodramatic sentient cat, a surprise, but a welcomed one for sure!
How i picture gorefield sometimes is that jon died but he just couldnt handle the pain so he created jon threw hallucinations and tortured him when jon tried to run . as a punishment
personally the melodramatic animation and silly vocal performance coupled with the genuine heartbreak of the melody and chords really hit me hard. People so often treat their heavy feelings as a joke to cope and fit in. For me the "oh" at 0:42 is almost a 4th wall-breaking look of surprise that real emotions slipped out in this silly animation.
This has gotta be my new favorite video ever. As a Garfield enthusiast this just makes me so immensely overjoyed. The animation presented is at another level, as well as the way the characters are portrayed, both with their actions and how they’re shown. Jon needing Liz to help him with his bow tie just screams Jon Arbuckle. Garfield looks so adorable, as well as big and lazy, and as he should be. The fluent movement is pleasant on the eyes, and the backgrounds are amazing. My favorite detail is the portraits of Garfield and Odie on the walls. It’s nice to see Odie even for a little bit as he is absent for the duration of this masterpiece. It feels like this exquisite song was created specifically for a Garfield animation. According to the video essay “What the internet did to Garfield” out of hundreds of Garfield comics, (not every single one but still a lot) Garfield did not attempt to console Jon about his miserable existence, nor try to make him feel better even once. Even with this information being apparent, I always thought that Garfield deeply cared about Jon, and not just because Jon buys him food and whatnot. In this obscure Garfield book where Jon and his pets go camping, a panther attacks them, and Garfield risks his own life to save Jon and Odie. Garfield also fears being alone, evident from a nightmare that he had that spanned a few days worth of comics. His worst fear is being away from his family. I apologize for that tangent, but I just find the entire premise of this animation to be cute, considering it is widely believed that Garfield simply views Jon as the pathetic imbecile that supplies him with lasagna. I simply want to thank you for creating this. You have no idea how much this has improved my life. You are truly a hero.
I love the idea that Garfield legitimately felt like he was losing his place in the family when Jon and Liz started dating. That's why he reveled so much in the "we're BACHELORS, baby" punchline. Because being a bachelor with Jon was nice and cozy and it was just the two of them always. He didn't want it to be ruined.
@@corenlavolpe6143I like to think of it that in a way, despite Garfield himself having a girlfriend, he feels like Jon wouldn't be able to make time for him anymore because his girlfriend would be getting in the way. Maybe it's also because he feels territorial over it, Jon's girlfriend, just going in his house and stealing his time with his owner? In his perspective, I'd also feel bummed out over it. I'm just sharing my idea, I don't mean any offense to you. Your thought is understandable :)
@@howmuchyouwannabet3440 Luckily, once they started going steady, Garfield kinda just accepts her. She kills a spider in front of him, and, since he hates spiders, he just holds Jon’s face and says, (marry her). The way to Garfield’s acceptance is arachnid slaughter.
@@ScuttleBugReal I don't know what spreading misinformation has anything to do with that, but there's actually a web horror series called Gilbert Garfield. It's just Garfield with Gilbert Gotfried's distorted face in it.
@@Poly_0000 It is when you let it consume your life and worry about it all day every day for a full week. Specially when you're 18, healthy, got accepted into the college you wanted and have literally no reason to fear death, at all.
as a garfield buff id like to inform you that it's a common theory that garfield hates mondays because then jon has to leave for work. garfield loves jon and just doesn't know how to express it. beautiful animation btw i love your way of simplifying him
This is so much sadder when you remember that in one of Garfield’s nine lives, he had to be separated from his owner for a while because she found a love interest, so they couldn’t see each other for a really long time. Poor garf is probably reliving that experience
I love how you can interpret this as Garfield being sad for feeling replaced or ignored but to me this feels more like Garf doing a dramatic song and dance because Jon planned for their date to be at a fancy Italian restaurant and told Garfield he had to stay home
There was a week long story arc in the comic strip where garfield suddenly gets transported to an old abandoned version of the house. No one but him is there, and he gradually grows neurotic and delusional, seeing illusions of Jon and Odie. He finally admits that he's afraid to be alone, and everything suddenly returns to normal. It may have been his imagination, may have not, but it shows Garfield has a fear of loneliness and can't handle being by himself and forgotten.
i love how at 0:25 garfields framerate increases and his shadow behind him drags across the shadow of the doorframe it feels like a garfields just Sat there while jon's away and we're watching sped up footage of it the shot is so short but cleverly communicative. very awesome

absolutely! art as a whole is so natural for humans to be drawn to and to create, to listen and be heard. but theres something about the art of animation that i find so immersing.. hehhehe thankyou :)) i appreciate that!! i reckon it was my third or fourth rewatch when it clicked
I had an orange cat. Many people said that our dynamic reminded them of Jon and Garfield. I loved him more than the waking world. I had him as my iPhone wallpaper, he took up my memory on my phone as well with how many photos I had of him; I never used to take photos before I adopted him. This made me think about how he likely felt when seeing me leave the apartment. It made me so happy to see how excited he was to just see me come home, or wake up in the morning. I don’t think that’s something we in every day life get to experience with other people, them being ecstatic about us merely existing. It means the world to us when we see someone or something express how we mean the world to them. That’s beautiful. Maybe we should all be more like our pets and just show people how much they brighten up our worlds, by just simply being in it.
I lost my dogs a little while ago and it hurts... a lot. I don't think I'll ever stop missing them and just the thought that I'll never see their stupid drooly faces again makes my throat hurt. And I will never forget the looks on their faces when I would come home from school or college. One of them, Brutus, would lay on the window sill every day just before I got home and watch out front of the house for me to arrive - this was quite impressive considering he was a fat bastard of a bulldog haha. I regret a lot from when they were still here and I wish I could have done better for them, but reading this helped me remember that me just coming home and playing with them every day was enough for them and they loved me despite everything. Thank you stranger, I really needed that today.
no one is talking about it so i feel the need to say this from one artist to another, not only do you have a genuinely pleasant and fantastic art style, you're clearly extremely skillful in both drawing and coloring/shading, and your animation skills are top quality. This is one of my favorite animations currently and you should really be proud of yourself for making it! also i love how towards the end the singer kind of sounds like a higher-pitched garfield.
I also really like that this is normal Garfield AND something a cat would actually do. He wants to spend time with Jon but gets sad(and dramatic) when he leaves him alone! If you ever make a full version of this, I hope it ends with Jon coming home and petting Garfield.
You’ve probably gotten a lot of comments about this already, but the way you drew Garfield is so much superior over his ‘9n model’ version. You didn’t just make him cuter, something about his expressions makes him far more visually appealing to watch.
i’m not even sure why i’m so sad but god this is gut wrenching for some reason. the use of garfield specifically almost makes it feel like a metaphor for loss of childhood innocence to uncaring adults, or more specifically, the feeling of abandonment or betrayal by a trusted adult. it evokes that feeling to me of being a child and dealing with emotions you can’t put to words or just don’t understand, and feeling so deeply angry and betrayed by those with power over you and/or those you love. being forced at a young age to consider wether the people you hold dearest to you, particularly parents, actually have your best interests at heart, feeling like you might start having to protect yourself from the people you thought were there to protect you, and the utter overwhelming loneliness and feeling of powerlessness that comes with that. begging to understand, but not being able to. the attempts to self-comfort and eventual apathy towards those you used to love so much. searching for an escape. crying out for help. feeling like your entire world is being torn apart and the only thing you can do is stand there, in the doorway, in the dim light, and watch it all happen. the adults are talking, and they’re talking about you, and you’re not allowed to say a word. all you can do is press your ear to the door, and listen. or maybe it’s funni animation about funni lagsangagsa cat singing funni song heehoo
For Garfield, his day to day schedule never changes. He has no responsibilities whatsoever. So there’s no feasible reason he would hate Mondays for his own sake. Monday starts just after the weekend, which means after two days of Jon being around constantly he’s suddenly gone off for work presumably. Garfield doesn’t hate Mondays because he just doesn’t like Monday. He hates Mondays because he loves Jon and just doesn’t want to admit it
Even if we take that jon, as a cartoonist, works from home lile another comment said it could be that jon stays the most part of the day in his studio where garfield isn't allowed to enter
Well, there's also the fact that there was a running gag through several early Garfield strips where something bad would happen to Garfield on Mondays, such as getting a pie thrown at him.
I love that some of the poses and facial expressions feel like theyre right out of the original comics, and some are really cute and stylized🥰Amazing all round!
This is so cute I love it! It feels like he is feeling lonely/jealous because Jon is giving more attention to his human lover than his pet. That's a very cat emotion. When my mom started seeing my dad, her Siamese basically threatened to kill him haha Love this animation a lot
Back to rewatch this a bunch more times in a row. I love your animation so much! It's got a lot of life and Garfield's melodrama makes me giggle, especially when he's under the spotlight and then makes the ._. face
WAHH I LOVE THIS the sudden overly-emotional lipsync at the end really brought it together would love to see more silly animations like thisbin the futuree
This makes me want to draw sad Garfield art 😂. This is so beautiful. From how expressive his eyes are, to his dramatic pose. Plus the animation is so smooth like wtf.
This is beautiful, it is animated so well, I love everything about the movement! This totally feels like something that'll blow up and end up being recommended randomly for years! I sure hope so
I was very close to have a panic attack when I found this animation. The beautiful song mixed with the expressive animation made me feel heard for a moment. Right now I'm in a point in my life where "the ground is skinking under me". But finding this video (and then listening the full song) gave me a chance to breathe and get more calm. Thank you so much for making it. It saved me from a very bad moment.
Praying for you🙏🏻🙏🏻 Keep going my friend, you’ve got this!! I love you, and I’m sure there are others out there who to do as well. Hard times make us stronger, and if you’re still here you still have a purpose I promise you. There is a God who loves you as well, and I wish you all the best.🫶🏻🫶🏻💗💗💗

I honestly can't explain how well the color scheme, style and music correspond to each other so well. THIS IS SO WELL DONE! (Also, I love the slight glitch effect)
LOVE the way u draw garfield. so very cute and so very sad. beautifully animated and the aesthetic fits the song perfectly. so cool how you actually had varying levels of cartoonish-ness (bigger hands, shorter arms, bigger eyes, etc.) for him in different scenes so that he fit the feeling better, without breaking the cohesion of the animation. super impressive. keep it up!
I love how Garfield is being such a melodramatic sassy feline right now. So in his feelings. This is kinda in line with some of his behavior when he’s not pretending he doesn’t give a shit. On top of that he doesn’t turn into this primordial being. It’s just very comforting, realistic, VHS filter and actually some good multimedia seeming animation.
I know it's already been said but this is a really refreshing take on Garfield visually and tonally (yes I know it's a pre-existing song). Would love to see something like this in an official context.
Wow, this is amazing! The subject, style, and rhythm of your animation all flow so perfectly with the music in a way that's both cartoonishly goofy and beautifully touching. Not a depiction of Garfield I expected to see, but it'd explain a lot of his behaviour. Favourited! Thanks for sharing it!
At least leave Garfield a nice lasagna if you won't take him with you, Jon :< Or a stack of lasagnas... Or was a stack of lasagna just a single lasagna? _Time to start a lasagna debate._ Anyways, delightful animation work, Jacadamia!
Damn, you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn even if you tried. The point of the song's lyrics were right there, man. They were right. Fucking. There. And you missed the point entirely.
Oh from the outside this is 100% Garfield doing the “sad cat wail of wanting attention”- 10/10 nice work, it’s nice to see Garfield just acting like an affectionate housecat-
Hey! So I absolutely love this piece! Its so awesome and has such fluid animation and feeling to it so I actually showed it to some friends and my illustration professor. My illustration professor is actually someone who worked on the original Garfield Comic Strip and currently still works with Garfield. He is still actually in contact with Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, and actually sent him the video with a couple other people who worked on the strip with him. I wanted you to know that Jim Davis has now seen your work and loved it and so did others who worked on the original Garfield strip! I hope this can continue to inspire you to make more and keep up the hard work! ❤
I made a garfield cult at school, it has a locker with no handle that my friend figured out we could open with forks, and now we have a garfield shrine, and I'm going to make a meeting today to talk about this masterpiece. edit: end of school year locker clean out, had to bring the stuff back home. doing it again next year though!
@@rosibel-RBFC so, basically, we have 9 or maybe 10? no, 9 i think garfield comic books, 1 newspaper comic with garfield in it, 5 drawings of garfield, a garfield figurine, a tip jar (because people started tipping us), and some uncooked lasagna noodles.
I love this..I can’t help but keep watching. It gives so much nostalgia. It’s been so long since I seen normal Garfield. And you even you the older style of the characters from the comics. Thank you.. P.S. I find it very funny at the beginning where Garfield waves his hands and also find the last scene funny as well cause it’s like Jon saying “Garfield, you wanna come along?” Hehe
I interpreted this as Garfield having separation anxiety. Pets can recognize our routines when we get ready to leave the house, and start to act anxious, or cry out. Poor kitty Garfield 😔
You gotta love how Garf's design blends into the darkness growing around him~ And at 0:29 this cascade of magenta and teal really blends in with the rest of the video 😮 Bless this VHS Garfield and math rock guitar 🙏
I dont care if this is physically impossible to happen or even reach the creator at all, i just want more of specifically this. Garfield in your art style. It is perfection 👌
I literally cannot express how this video makes me feel lol. The shot of Garfield's open mouth saying "JON" makes me feel feelings. Love love love this and it will remain an inspiration of mine forever!
Oh ballin I love this song, hopefully JW francis gets some more attention after this, lord knows they deserve it. Also, awesome animation, I really enjoyed this and its refreshing to see a more traditional take on Garfield

this feels like that one fever dream that's trying to tell you something important
Fax bro
This Garfield Content - Truly a breath of fresh air! 👏
The idea, the song, the expressive animation, the way you draw Garfield, I love everything!
I rewatch this whenever it pops into my feed again. It's so cute and always makes me smile 😁✨
no one is talking about it so i feel the need to say this from one artist to another, not only do you have a genuinely pleasant and fantastic art style, you're clearly extremely skillful in both drawing and coloring/shading, and your animation skills are top quality. This is one of my favorite animations currently and you should really be proud of yourself for making it!
also i love how towards the end the singer kind of sounds like a higher-pitched garfield.
Aw wow thank you so much
This is not my favorite animation just because I have seen one way better, just search "the mind electric by lonely man's Lazarus"
The fact that the singer sounds a bit like Garfield makes this even better than it already is
especially at 0:28 lol
They added you to vs. Gorefield on Friday Night Funkin. Congratulations! :)
@VariantDrive Agreed
@VariantDrive I disagree Mr Go and Jo.
“I know the feeling, I really do. The ground is sinking, right under you.”
Gets me every time.
How do you not have replies?
I also really like that this is normal Garfield AND something a cat would actually do. He wants to spend time with Jon but gets sad(and dramatic) when he leaves him alone!
If you ever make a full version of this, I hope it ends with Jon coming home and petting Garfield.
✨*llevame contigo*✨
You’ve probably gotten a lot of comments about this already, but the way you drew Garfield is so much superior over his ‘9n model’ version. You didn’t just make him cuter, something about his expressions makes him far more visually appealing to watch.
i’m not even sure why i’m so sad but god this is gut wrenching for some reason.
the use of garfield specifically almost makes it feel like a metaphor for loss of childhood innocence to uncaring adults, or more specifically, the feeling of abandonment or betrayal by a trusted adult.
it evokes that feeling to me of being a child and dealing with emotions you can’t put to words or just don’t understand, and feeling so deeply angry and betrayed by those with power over you and/or those you love.
being forced at a young age to consider wether the people you hold dearest to you, particularly parents, actually have your best interests at heart, feeling like you might start having to protect yourself from the people you thought were there to protect you, and the utter overwhelming loneliness and feeling of powerlessness that comes with that.
begging to understand, but not being able to.
the attempts to self-comfort and eventual apathy towards those you used to love so much.
searching for an escape. crying out for help.
feeling like your entire world is being torn apart and the only thing you can do is stand there, in the doorway, in the dim light, and watch it all happen.
the adults are talking, and they’re talking about you, and you’re not allowed to say a word.
all you can do is press your ear to the door, and listen.
or maybe it’s funni animation about funni lagsangagsa cat singing funni song heehoo
It's the second one but damn
Fuk, way too close to home mate, way too close.
Me too
yeah i think its just a it’s funni animation about funni lagsangagsa cat singing funni song heehoo
Your dad left too huh
This is honestly relatable because my biggest fear is being forgotten about by my friends and family
I cant stop watching this.. Theres something so comforting about the animation and the perfectly fitting song.. I watched this like 50 times today..
OMG TY FOR THE HEART
Me too

For Garfield, his day to day schedule never changes. He has no responsibilities whatsoever. So there’s no feasible reason he would hate Mondays for his own sake. Monday starts just after the weekend, which means after two days of Jon being around constantly he’s suddenly gone off for work presumably. Garfield doesn’t hate Mondays because he just doesn’t like Monday. He hates Mondays because he loves Jon and just doesn’t want to admit it
Even if we take that jon, as a cartoonist, works from home lile another comment said it could be that jon stays the most part of the day in his studio where garfield isn't allowed to enter
@@galacticpotato833He probably has some secret lasagna in there.
@@dejus_e YES, and there jon keeps his coffee stash
Well, there's also the fact that there was a running gag through several early Garfield strips where something bad would happen to Garfield on Mondays, such as getting a pie thrown at him.
damn, who knew recontextualizing a comic cat is actually kinda sad.
I love that some of the poses and facial expressions feel like theyre right out of the original comics, and some are really cute and stylized🥰Amazing all round!
This is so cute I love it! It feels like he is feeling lonely/jealous because Jon is giving more attention to his human lover than his pet. That's a very cat emotion. When my mom started seeing my dad, her Siamese basically threatened to kill him haha
Love this animation a lot
SO CUTE!!! MASTERFULLY CRAFTED JACA, this is a work of ART
Back to rewatch this a bunch more times in a row. I love your animation so much! It's got a lot of life and Garfield's melodrama makes me giggle, especially when he's under the spotlight and then makes the ._. face
damn
didn’t expect to see you here
😔
Whoa it’s Chip! How have you been?!
oh hey chipflake
WAHH I LOVE THIS
the sudden overly-emotional lipsync at the end really brought it together
would love to see more silly animations like thisbin the futuree
This makes me want to draw sad Garfield art 😂. This is so beautiful. From how expressive his eyes are, to his dramatic pose. Plus the animation is so smooth like wtf.
i've rewatched this so many times. you've given me a new song to obsess over and an animation that has left me a sense of melancholy
I feel that
0:16 Garfield’s hand movements have me rolling on the ground 😂
He’s Italian now:)
LLEVAME CONTIGO!!
The intro is so nostalgic, like I really have loved Garfield my whole life
This is beautiful, it is animated so well, I love everything about the movement! This totally feels like something that'll blow up and end up being recommended randomly for years! I sure hope so
I was very close to have a panic attack when I found this animation. The beautiful song mixed with the expressive animation made me feel heard for a moment. Right now I'm in a point in my life where "the ground is skinking under me". But finding this video (and then listening the full song) gave me a chance to breathe and get more calm.
Thank you so much for making it. It saved me from a very bad moment.
Praying for you🙏🏻🙏🏻
Keep going my friend, you’ve got this!! I love you, and I’m sure there are others out there who to do as well. Hard times make us stronger, and if you’re still here you still have a purpose I promise you. There is a God who loves you as well, and I wish you all the best.🫶🏻🫶🏻💗💗💗
stay safe out there
The artist, JW Francis, never fails to put me in a good mood no matter how I feel. Dream house is absolutely stacked with happy dance songs!
It's the opposite for me, stuff like this is usually the things that cause panic attacks lol
Jon amm...take me wit-take me with you jon
jon a-a i'm freaking sad,a-i-a-im-take me,je-jo-.. LLEVAME CONTIGO 🗿🍷
j-jon you see i'm freaking sad,a-a-a i'm gonna depress if you don't take me Jon
jon a-HOLY SHIT IM FALLING JON,S-SAVE ME JON
JON *unintelligible sounds* , NOOOOOOOOOOO-
This is genuinely so beautiful and really describes the feeling of being forgotten
I honestly can't explain how well the color scheme, style and music correspond to each other so well. THIS IS SO WELL DONE!
(Also, I love the slight glitch effect)
No because this actually is so appealing. THANK YOU for making this
The Little clip of Garfield standing while the light moves with the lyrics: "I know the feeling, I really do." Hit on a strange unknown level.
LOVE the way u draw garfield. so very cute and so very sad. beautifully animated and the aesthetic fits the song perfectly. so cool how you actually had varying levels of cartoonish-ness (bigger hands, shorter arms, bigger eyes, etc.) for him in different scenes so that he fit the feeling better, without breaking the cohesion of the animation. super impressive. keep it up!
i was like "oh yeah silly sad animation" to "WHAT NO- IT WAS YOU BEHIND THIS ANIMATION THE WHOLE TIME
0:40 Love that sound and face. All worth. Also, glad to see non-creepy Garfield stuff out there still.
I love how Garfield is being such a melodramatic sassy feline right now. So in his feelings. This is kinda in line with some of his behavior when he’s not pretending he doesn’t give a shit. On top of that he doesn’t turn into this primordial being. It’s just very comforting, realistic, VHS filter and actually some good multimedia seeming animation.
Take me jon, i'm fricking sad
Take me with you. Holy shit im falling
JON HELP MEE
I know it's already been said but this is a really refreshing take on Garfield visually and tonally (yes I know it's a pre-existing song). Would love to see something like this in an official context.
Finally, the beautifully animated emotional Garfield content we all needed in our lives!
bro this is so sad like IM NOT CRYING UR CRYING😭😭
Wow, this is amazing! The subject, style, and rhythm of your animation all flow so perfectly with the music in a way that's both cartoonishly goofy and beautifully touching. Not a depiction of Garfield I expected to see, but it'd explain a lot of his behaviour. Favourited! Thanks for sharing it!
At least leave Garfield a nice lasagna if you won't take him with you, Jon :< Or a stack of lasagnas... Or was a stack of lasagna just a single lasagna?
_Time to start a lasagna debate._
Anyways, delightful animation work, Jacadamia!
That Latias would want the Lasagna
I have watched this so many times and it always makes me cry. congrats on your art
Seeing jon succeed in something makes Garfield sad
How fitting
And Garfield just wanna come to ruin it lol
i think he just wants Jon's attention, as every cat does from their owner
ye
well that's not what the lyrics are conveying at all really
Damn, you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn even if you tried. The point of the song's lyrics were right there, man. They were right. Fucking. There. And you missed the point entirely.
Oh from the outside this is 100% Garfield doing the “sad cat wail of wanting attention”- 10/10 nice work, it’s nice to see Garfield just acting like an affectionate housecat-
It reminds me of the episode of "Garfield & Friends" where it's titled "Getting Attention Garfield"
Hey! So I absolutely love this piece! Its so awesome and has such fluid animation and feeling to it so I actually showed it to some friends and my illustration professor. My illustration professor is actually someone who worked on the original Garfield Comic Strip and currently still works with Garfield. He is still actually in contact with Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, and actually sent him the video with a couple other people who worked on the strip with him. I wanted you to know that Jim Davis has now seen your work and loved it and so did others who worked on the original Garfield strip! I hope this can continue to inspire you to make more and keep up the hard work!
❤
Whaaaa! That’s crazy!! Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing it with Jim Davis!!
That's honestly pretty amazing, happy that the creator of Garfield saw this video
that final moment, it was ADORABLE!!! :D
Thanks for introducing me to this lovely song with such a smooth, expressive, colorful and adorable animation!!!
Sometimes I forget Garfield is an actual house cat so thank you for the reminder
I made a garfield cult at school, it has a locker with no handle that my friend figured out we could open with forks, and now we have a garfield shrine, and I'm going to make a meeting today to talk about this masterpiece.
edit: end of school year locker clean out, had to bring the stuff back home. doing it again next year though!
aight
Wait tell us more about it
@@rosibel-RBFC so, basically, we have 9 or maybe 10? no, 9 i think garfield comic books, 1 newspaper comic with garfield in it, 5 drawings of garfield, a garfield figurine, a tip jar (because people started tipping us), and some uncooked lasagna noodles.
Immaculate @@Sealington
@@Sealington Delightful
I wish i could help the Garfield cult community but alas. . .
Praised be the cat
This animation makes we want to cry a river for no reason
Besides that good job on the animation!
I love this..I can’t help but keep watching. It gives so much nostalgia. It’s been so long since I seen normal Garfield. And you even you the older style of the characters from the comics. Thank you..
P.S. I find it very funny at the beginning where Garfield waves his hands and also find the last scene funny as well cause it’s like Jon saying “Garfield, you wanna come along?” Hehe
I interpreted this as Garfield having separation anxiety. Pets can recognize our routines when we get ready to leave the house, and start to act anxious, or cry out. Poor kitty Garfield 😔
God, it really works that JW's voice actually sounds a lot like Garfield from the old cartoon.
I became familiar with this after seeing "Take Me Jon" from FNF Vs Gorefield V2, and it was pretty entertaining.
Beautiful, nostalgic, and refreshing all in one package. Thank you for making this.
You gotta love how Garf's design blends into the darkness growing around him~ And at 0:29 this cascade of magenta and teal really blends in with the rest of the video 😮
Bless this VHS Garfield and math rock guitar 🙏
I dont care if this is physically impossible to happen or even reach the creator at all, i just want more of specifically this. Garfield in your art style. It is perfection 👌
I literally cannot express how this video makes me feel lol. The shot of Garfield's open mouth saying "JON" makes me feel feelings. Love love love this and it will remain an inspiration of mine forever!
Oh ballin I love this song, hopefully JW francis gets some more attention after this, lord knows they deserve it. Also, awesome animation, I really enjoyed this and its refreshing to see a more traditional take on Garfield
Gorefeild:killed Jon relentless times
Cannon Garfield: hehehe I like lasagna
This Garfield:
Ive watched this so many times. Its just that the animation is so aesthetically appealing!
I’m dying of heart disease

@@KathrynCfascinating

LLEVAME CONTIGO 🗣️💯‼️‼️
🗣️🔥
THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOD I CANT STOP WATCHING IT. THE SONG, THE ANIMATION, THE STYLE, EVERYTHING IS JUST SO AMAZING ABOUT THIS VIDEO I LOVE IT SM!! WE NEED AN EXTENDED VERSION ASAP!!!
This is sad, it made me re-think about how we treated Garfield on internet.
JON LLEVAME CONTIGO
Im sorry John...

This feels refreshing. And just the ailment that I needed. From one Garfield fan to another, thank you so much! 🙂
I saw this yesterday and I gotta say, this is the best Garfield video ever to be created by someone!
