"Odie isn't a dog" is one I saw on another iceberg. Since several incarnations of Odie show up in several of Garfield's Nine Lives and God makes it very clear that cats are the only animals with nine lives, Odie isn't a dog.
god prob knows that he is being lied to so he just allows garfield and odie fuck around in the mortal world for his amusement. well thats my headcanon anyways.
The fact that the internet collectively came together to turn Garfield into this satirical horror commentary on our society will never fail to amaze me.
yep, and do you heard of The Binding of Isaac? The og creators of The Binding of Isaac created an agreement to the creator who created TBoI Antibirth to created the final DLC of the original game.
Hey everyone. I'm the creator of the original iceberg image. First of all thank you SO MUCH for making this video and i'm really glad I could help with it. Also so many people have asked why I didn't include r/imsorryjon and the answer is because I wanted to stick with official Garfield stuff (with a couple exceptions). If it were on there it'd probably be around the surface of the iceberg.
@@swimminginthestars_ I should have responded to this a long time ago but no problem. I'm so happy that my chart and this video made people more interested in the comic.
However she did leave out one important detail... Garfield's dad IS mentioned in the comics. SEVERAL TIMES AS A MATTER OF FACT somewhere in the first 17 fat cat 3 packs
the garfield window cling fad of the 80s and the subsequent crime spree of people *breaking into cars to steal the cling ons* is one of my favorite pieces of garfield lore
Dude Lyman canonically being in Jon’s basement next to bones is terrifying, especially since I think that was his last appearance. Edit: I now know it wasn’t his last appearance, nor is that game really canonical. But, you can’t deny it’s very fucked up that somewhere out there in the Garfverse, Lyman is in Jon’s basement.
I know he appears in the forest in the 3d animated Garfield show, I think he was pretending to be a monster to scare of poachers or something. I don't know my little brother used to watch it all the time
@@slayyourday1548 in that episode it is explained that he was a wildlife researcher in australia or something of the sort, so thats the cannon explanation I guess.
So I guess it kinda make sense why he hated Mondays. There are some episodes from the _Garfield Show_ where Monday is basically Garfield's "Friday The 13th".
I swear drake, you're like th Garfield effect frome super eyepatch wolfs video, I watch one of your videos and then I see all of your comments on random videos I have saved that I haven't seen yet
Garfield and his 9 lives absolutely traumatized me as a child. It was my mum's favourite childhood comic so she gave it to me buuut it was not what I expected. Was obsessed though
There was a ride in PA called "Garfield's Nightmare" at the theme park Kennywood. It was a water ride where you went on a boat past comic strips and full sized statues and told a decently sized story. It was recently converted to another ride called "The Old Mill". Thats just an interesting Garfield tidbit!
My dad knew Jim Davis as a kid. My grandma would take him to the theatre in Muncie and Jim Davis would draw comics for my dad while my grandma was doing rehearsals.
Since you're literally the only person who'd appreciate these, here are my Garfield facts about myself: • I have read every single published Garfield comic from 1978 to 2011 where he switched to digital. • I grew up about 15 minutes from Fairmount, Indiana where Jim Davis grew up and passed a sign with Garfield on it every day. • I frequented a Children's Museum where there was a recreation of Garfield's house built inside, as well as several Garfield themed attractions like a green screen self insert video game thing and educational material. • I took several art classes done by Davis. I've always been interested in cartooning, animation, and comics, so he was big inspiration for me. • Odie is my favorite character. • Ironically I liked the Gnorm Gnat character more than Garfield because he was a bug and I was more of a fan of bugs. • I had a grandfather figure who was the carpenter who built Davis' house and would occasionally bring me sketches Jim did for me. (All lost now.) • Jim would frequent a bookstore I worked at during college and he'd sign random copies of Garfield collections and hide them on the shelf. • I was first in line to read his Mr Potato Head comic. It was shit.
This is amazing. Garfield reminds me of the fans of simpsons and sonic. The creativity and cursed vibes from the fans creations are kinda alike. The simpsons fans recreated the whole manga of akira with simpsons characters. Sonic fans created Sonic Dream, a really weird and cursed game that I think even markiplier made a video on, and one fan comic creator even got an official job working for sonic. Idk, they're just vibing
Biased but Thomas the tank engine fandom should be there as well. There's a full stoner comedy parody movie based on the Thomas and the Magic Railroad and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
was made aware by a good friend of mine that my art featured at the end of this!! can't watch it at the moment, but i wanted to say thank you! -twinvenus (hey that's me at 21:49!)
There’s a few lake house properties on the hunting land my dad hunts at, there is an old dude who puts little figures on stumps by the dirt road to the field. One of them is a Garfield figure so whenever we pass it I say “hello there Garfield”

I remember when I was a kid, I would spend a lot of my spare time reading through Garfield comics in my elementary school's library. I can't say I'm as much of a megafan as you, but Garfield has always had such a special place in my heart because of it. I had no idea there was this much media out there about him though, this was a wild ride! Thanks for sharing
6:03 THIS!!! This game is my oldest internet memory and as I get older it’s actually just one of my earliest memories period. I couldn’t have been older than 3-4 when I played it, and it scared the absolute hell out of me, but I played it like every day and managed to beat it a few times. I replayed it years ago before flash died and it was actually still pretty fun :) warms my heart to see it here
My favorite fan edit of Garfield is the one that removes thought bubbles from the comics. I'm pretty sure Jon doesn't know what the animals think in the thought bubbles and the edits just truly show how insane he is.
I went to watch Garfield and his 9 lives. No idea how it did it, but it managed to make me cry. After how surreal many of the segments were, the return to normalcy at life 8 was such a relief.
i had so much whiplash when you said you were born in 2002, i was asking myself "how are you 18 then" and then i was forcibly remembered of the passage of time and that we live in 2020
the fact that the "garfield minus garfield" book is considered near the bottom of the iceberg is so wild to me. that book was in my elementary school library - i read the book years before i knew the website existed, and until i watched this video, i was under the impression that the book had come first!
I love this whole thing. I know original Garfield is lame, I know it's tired, but I love it. I love it ironically and unironically. I just like Garfield. He is pleasing to look at. He is so.. round...so larg. I bought a Garf at an animecon for 5 bucks of an old dude selling TMNT toys and he is what I will leave in my will.
I still love Garfield comics, I don't care what anyone says. For me. it's a nice warm slice of comfort food. Plus I like how Jim Davis has a sense of humor to support certain parodies of his work.
This video reminded me how much I love Garfield. I watched 'His 9 lives' last night and haven't stopped crying over 'Diana's Piano'. I don't trust anyone that doesn't cry at that!!
The “Garfield Alone” comic gave me nightmares growing up. I remember staying up late, reading through my dad’s massive collection of Garfield compilation books, and coming across this one. I was horrified yet enamored with it. I kept coming back to read the comic long after I first discovered it, even though it was my worst nightmare. Thus, a psychological horror enjoyer was born.
The true difference between Heathcliff and Garfield is that... Heathcliff doesn't take shit from anyone, and literally beat anybody up who are 10x larger his size.
As a child i used to religiously watch the first live action garfield movie. by the way my mom tells it at some point in my life i would not be able to go to sleep unless she put on the garfield movie for me. to this day i love the movie. when you said that the movies were widely hated i had to do a double because i was actually surprised by that statement. man the power of nostalgia.
i was obsessed with garfield as a kid (i must have taken out every garfield book my library had multiple times), so it was weird just how much i knew! awesome video, great to listen to while i do work.
*furby spider* (Edit) wait, if Garfield is living and dying infinitely does that mean that he’s just suffering an infinite death? If so, then y’all better start making Garfield death memes instead of diavolo death memes rn
I personally like to think that the Garfield Alive comic and Garfield Minus Garfield are linked. Like, Garfield is stuck in purgatory while Jon is stuck in a depressing reality.
I watched "Garfield and Friends" every Saturday as a kid in the '90s! Also, I loved the "9 Lives" TV special too. It was a little creepy but I loved it, especially the Diana segment ( even though it ended a little sad 😔) the different art styles all intermixed made it a wild ride.
If I ever land a movie role that requires me to cry on cue, I only need to hear someone say the *title* 'Diana's Piano' and I'll be bawling in seconds. That short has never failed to tear my heart right tf out since I watched it as a kid and all the years after that, not *once.*
It's sad that so much plastic and parts wound up in the ocean, but the fact that it was specifically Garfield phones and it was washing phones up on the for over 30 years just gets me everytime it's just. It is kinda hilarious
this reminds me of a garfield plush my mom gave me when i was younger. it was hers when she was a kid (she was born early 70s so this thing is OLD). i should go find it
Great video izzy. Very informative. However i was hoping to see more of the 'im sorry jon' which i guess its called. I have seen these artworks passed around online of Garfield in disturbing horror imagery and was genuinely confused as to why someone would pair Garfield into horror imagery. But this video still kind of explains it sort of.
lmao thats one thing I took away from that video too. I mean, I'm still younger than her by 1 year, but idk I guess I got used to assuming that most content creaters are a lot older than me
i came to your channel for the art drama stuff, but your newer videos are actually AMAZING. you have potential to become really big in the future, and when you do, don’t forget us! thanks for making such awesome content, and keep up the absolutely phenomenal work!
this is why i subscribed to you “i used to think of myself as a pretty big garfield fan before i saw this” i didn’t even know i knew a lot of garfield “lore” when i would talk to my friends about it until one day when i was telling my friends some real crazy cannon shit they were like “how do you know this” and i fell down this rabbit hole
i love garfield so much he’s epic what i don’t love is when people try to make garfield a spooky boi he’s just a fat cat who likes lasanga not a lovecraftian beast
Me too, I love Garfield and I grew up looking at the tv series and the reboot of Garfield, mostly the reboot. I loved how much the comedy and satirical sarcastic nature of Garfield gave him a great character aspect and I adored that. But when the whole thing of the I’m sorry John, and the entire spooky scary thing came around (mostly the lovecraftian and Zalgo thing with Garfield came) I really disliked it because it took away what mainly created what Garfield is.
@@TheSwanqueenAndTheEldricth More than that. It was a disgrace. It sickens me to think people see our lasagna God that way. I'm writing this as I am about to be taken to the great beyond as a sacrifice, and they will use my body as meat for their lasagna offering. Garfield deserves no less.
This is both one of the greatest and most unsettling vids I’ve ever seen, up until I was about 10 years old I was obsessed with Garfield and extremely deep into his fandom and lore, somehow I knew a large amount of these things but a lot of the stuff you covered surprised, amazed and even shocked me! It’s 3am and my brain is slightly freaking out from both the nostalgia and the horrors of the garfield’s 9 lives things… because those were so terrifying and amazing to me as a kid lol. This was such an amazing video and I Thank you for that! I normally don’t comment on things but dude you blew me away honestly. I’d love to see more vids on Garfield and his lore :D
I know a lot of kids found it scary but 9 Lives weirdly helped me understand death as a part of life and how our pets can only be with us a short time. That and Disney's Thomasina are what I thought of when the cat I'd raised since childhood died after 19 wonderful years together. And they really brought me a lot of comfort and closure.
someone should make a whole video about that 'Jon' thing!
no gorefield?
Right! Too bad nobody's done it yet... nobody at all.
I was hoping we would see you here, I figured you'd been tweeted at repeatedly already so I didn't bother. ;)
Garfielf.
I was HOPING you would see this!
"Odie isn't a dog" is one I saw on another iceberg. Since several incarnations of Odie show up in several of Garfield's Nine Lives and God makes it very clear that cats are the only animals with nine lives, Odie isn't a dog.
that would explain why god was so easily convinced
Man this is a big breaker but pretty interesting at the same time
He is a dog. In nine lives, there are various dogs reminiscent of odie, but it would make sense because odie does not appear in all iterations.
god prob knows that he is being lied to so he just allows garfield and odie fuck around in the mortal world for his amusement. well thats my headcanon anyways.
I thought the "cats have nine lives" thing was just a saying
The fact that the internet collectively came together to turn Garfield into this satirical horror commentary on our society will never fail to amaze me.
The internet does that with a lot of things and boy am I proud of them for it
That’s because he is.
you are all correct.

he turns himself into lasagna, funniest shit I've ever seen
"No, Jon, I am not going on a diet. I am not going on a diet!" says Garfield as he shrinks and transforms into a lasagna.
He calls himself lasagna field funniest shit ive ever seen
he turns into lasagna
but he's still alive
so he eats himself

Garfield hates mondays cause monday literally tries to kill him. There were some garfield show episodes of this

When she said that I thought "Oh my god, she's a child!"
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I PLAYED GARFIELDS SCARY SCAVENGER HUNT,,,, DEADASS MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD GAME
I went to watch Garfield and his 9 lives. No idea how it did it, but it managed to make me cry.
After how surreal many of the segments were, the return to normalcy at life 8 was such a relief.
i had so much whiplash when you said you were born in 2002, i was asking myself "how are you 18 then" and then i was forcibly remembered of the passage of time and that we live in 2020
the fact that the "garfield minus garfield" book is considered near the bottom of the iceberg is so wild to me. that book was in my elementary school library - i read the book years before i knew the website existed, and until i watched this video, i was under the impression that the book had come first!
I love this whole thing. I know original Garfield is lame, I know it's tired, but I love it. I love it ironically and unironically. I just like Garfield. He is pleasing to look at. He is so.. round...so larg.
I bought a Garf at an animecon for 5 bucks of an old dude selling TMNT toys and he is what I will leave in my will.
Me, too. I've never NOT been left smiling by a Garfield thing.
i feel like garfield actively influenced a specific smug expression onto artists' art styles and i love it
larg.
the fact that garfield has daddy issues is hilarious
I still love Garfield comics, I don't care what anyone says. For me. it's a nice warm slice of comfort food.
Plus I like how Jim Davis has a sense of humor to support certain parodies of his work.
Never forgiving Jim Davis for the jumpscare in Garfield's scary scavenger hunt. 9 year old me TRUSTED YOU JIM...
This video reminded me how much I love Garfield. I watched 'His 9 lives' last night and haven't stopped crying over 'Diana's Piano'. I don't trust anyone that doesn't cry at that!!
You forgot "Gorefield" the SCP based on Garfield.
@capital-copycat 2003 huh. Colour me hiding under a rock.
The “Garfield Alone” comic gave me nightmares growing up. I remember staying up late, reading through my dad’s massive collection of Garfield compilation books, and coming across this one. I was horrified yet enamored with it. I kept coming back to read the comic long after I first discovered it, even though it was my worst nightmare.
Thus, a psychological horror enjoyer was born.
I cant believe you made this and didnt bring up gorefield/I'm sorry jon ONCE
The true difference between Heathcliff and Garfield is that... Heathcliff doesn't take shit from anyone, and literally beat anybody up who are 10x larger his size.
Wonder who would win in a fight
so we just gunna ignore how jon kept someone in his basement ok i see
Jon Arbuckle is a fucked up cycle path 😬🤯😱😰

How was that so high up???
I see you haven’t watched MeatCanyon
i’m not even a fan of garfield but when i saw “garfield iceberg” you know i had to click
As a child i used to religiously watch the first live action garfield movie. by the way my mom tells it at some point in my life i would not be able to go to sleep unless she put on the garfield movie for me. to this day i love the movie. when you said that the movies were widely hated i had to do a double because i was actually surprised by that statement. man the power of nostalgia.
i was obsessed with garfield as a kid (i must have taken out every garfield book my library had multiple times), so it was weird just how much i knew! awesome video, great to listen to while i do work.
"In my glorious birth year of 2002"
Im old, Yusuke.
I was surprised by that too, she looks older than me
2002 gang!
Same
i was born in 2005. i can’t believe she’s only 3 years older than me
Where does she say that?
*furby spider*
(Edit) wait, if Garfield is living and dying infinitely does that mean that he’s just suffering an infinite death? If so, then y’all better start making Garfield death memes instead of diavolo death memes rn
Honestly, an AU where Diavolo takes care of Garfield is so stupid that it's funny.
@@servantofwrath7370 yes, I’m animating this, diavolo will die in the end, thus making it canon
I personally like to think that the Garfield Alive comic and Garfield Minus Garfield are linked. Like, Garfield is stuck in purgatory while Jon is stuck in a depressing reality.
Garfield is a JoJo reference.
@@TheAmazingSpiderPunk oh my god
I'm uncomfortable with just how much of this i already knew...
Where'd my Pipe go?
GARFIELD!!!
@@jordyn-laurette_is_spicy "Now where could my pipe be? Garfield!" Is the exact quote
"Lyman has appeared 69 times in the comics"
*Nice*
I watched "Garfield and Friends" every Saturday as a kid in the '90s! Also, I loved the "9 Lives" TV special too. It was a little creepy but I loved it, especially the Diana segment ( even though it ended a little sad 😔) the different art styles all intermixed made it a wild ride.
It's crazy how many styles Garfield has went thru
You are simultaneously the first and last person I would expect to do an Iceberg video on Garfield.
If I ever land a movie role that requires me to cry on cue, I only need to hear someone say the *title* 'Diana's Piano' and I'll be bawling in seconds. That short has never failed to tear my heart right tf out since I watched it as a kid and all the years after that, not *once.*
What I expected: some fun facts about Jim Davis, some behind the scenes, maybe some early concept art
What I got: Garfield has met God
It's sad that so much plastic and parts wound up in the ocean, but the fact that it was specifically Garfield phones and it was washing phones up on the for over 30 years just gets me everytime it's just. It is kinda hilarious
this reminds me of a garfield plush my mom gave me when i was younger. it was hers when she was a kid (she was born early 70s so this thing is OLD). i should go find it
Did you find it
@@pinkman_ no, i never did. its probably at my nana’s house or in the attic
I feel like “Stu is god” is something i knew on a subconscious level but now that ive seen it in writing i cannot handle it
Odie being smart makes sense; I made a D&D character which was Garfield as a warlock with powers granted to him by Odie, who was Odin in disguise.
7:32 the exact second i unlocked a major long-lost nostalgia blast OMG
Great video izzy. Very informative. However i was hoping to see more of the 'im sorry jon' which i guess its called. I have seen these artworks passed around online of Garfield in disturbing horror imagery and was genuinely confused as to why someone would pair Garfield into horror imagery. But this video still kind of explains it sort of.
Aw man I was hoping there would be mention of “Gorefield”
Same
“In my glorious birth year of 2002-“
me: hOW AM I OLDER THAN YOU
And I'm younger than her being born in 2003 lol
lmao thats one thing I took away from that video too. I mean, I'm still younger than her by 1 year, but idk I guess I got used to assuming that most content creaters are a lot older than me
@@Cherryxarts content creators were always older, but now im starting to become older than some of them... It feels really weird.
I was born in 2002 too :)
that made me feel so old... so so old...
Izzzy, are you ever going to do a makeup tutorial?
I’m still not used to content creators being around my age
I had completely forgotten about Garfield and Friends but the opening of this video hit me with such a wave of nostalgia
Still the best Garfield cartoon
i came to your channel for the art drama stuff, but your newer videos are actually AMAZING. you have potential to become really big in the future, and when you do, don’t forget us!
thanks for making such awesome content, and keep up the absolutely phenomenal work!
You: "my glorious birth year of 2002"
Me, born in 1999: "As the days move forward, I grow ever closer the the embracing void of Garfield's kindness"
Thanks for making this! I'm a grizzled old punk rocker, a underground cartoonist, and life long fan of Garfield! Great video!
this is why i subscribed to you “i used to think of myself as a pretty big garfield fan before i saw this” i didn’t even know i knew a lot of garfield “lore” when i would talk to my friends about it until one day when i was telling my friends some real crazy cannon shit they were like “how do you know this” and i fell down this rabbit hole
I don’t understand why the tumblr people hate me
I'm sorry Jon.
we dont care jon,give me the lasagna in 10 seconds right now
The amount of Garfield lore....i love it
The algorithm has really shown me another hidden gem. I never tough I would enjoy a Garfield iceberg video, but here I am. Amazing video
i love garfield so much he’s epic
what i don’t love is when people try to make garfield a spooky boi he’s just a fat cat who likes lasanga not a lovecraftian beast
I would mind the modern Garfield deviations less if there weren't people insisting their meme cuts were better than the original comic.
Garfield canonically weighs 80 pounds more than me, and I don't know how to feel about that.
@@PIB2000 Garfield thiccccc
Me too, I love Garfield and I grew up looking at the tv series and the reboot of Garfield, mostly the reboot. I loved how much the comedy and satirical sarcastic nature of Garfield gave him a great character aspect and I adored that. But when the whole thing of the I’m sorry John, and the entire spooky scary thing came around (mostly the lovecraftian and Zalgo thing with Garfield came) I really disliked it because it took away what mainly created what Garfield is.
@@TheSwanqueenAndTheEldricth More than that. It was a disgrace. It sickens me to think people see our lasagna God that way. I'm writing this as I am about to be taken to the great beyond as a sacrifice, and they will use my body as meat for their lasagna offering. Garfield deserves no less.
This is both one of the greatest and most unsettling vids I’ve ever seen, up until I was about 10 years old I was obsessed with Garfield and extremely deep into his fandom and lore, somehow I knew a large amount of these things but a lot of the stuff you covered surprised, amazed and even shocked me! It’s 3am and my brain is slightly freaking out from both the nostalgia and the horrors of the garfield’s 9 lives things… because those were so terrifying and amazing to me as a kid lol. This was such an amazing video and I Thank you for that! I normally don’t comment on things but dude you blew me away honestly. I’d love to see more vids on Garfield and his lore :D
Oh man, the Garfield nine lives animated show unlocked some hidden memories in me. That stuff was art.
i'm surprised that there wasn't an entry called "bullets won't work Jon"
Gorefield
This video helped me realize I know a LOT more about Garfield than I thought i did.
Ngl wanna see the garfield nine lives thing now
Same! Let’s have a garfields nine lives watch party haha :D
@@starlit-rain yo if I can find somewhere to watch it I’ll host it
you can probably find it on youtube

@@Greg-cw3dh thanks for the vid kind stranger
I know a lot of kids found it scary but 9 Lives weirdly helped me understand death as a part of life and how our pets can only be with us a short time. That and Disney's Thomasina are what I thought of when the cat I'd raised since childhood died after 19 wonderful years together. And they really brought me a lot of comfort and closure.
One day I really hope to make beloved and popular characters that end up with such extensive lore both canon and fan speculated
