Hello fellow Garfield fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis. Originally published locally as Jon in 1976, then in nationwide syndication from 1978 as Garfield, it chronicles the life of the title character Garfield the cat, his human owner Jon Arbuckle, and Odie the dog. As of 2013, it was syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals and held the Guinness World Record for being the world's most widely syndicated comic strip...

Strip by: Josiahblaze

{A title panel is shown, featuring a glowing orange "Garfield" logo in the same font as the DOOM logo.

To the right of the logo is Garfield's skeleton, with a glowing red eye}

{In the next couple of panels, Odie is shown from a first-person perspective, running around a dark neighborhood while holding a super shotgun. At the bottom of these panels is a HUD, showing Odie's ammunition, health, weapons, etc. As Odie continues his journey, he reaches a house, which he enters, and walks through to find a floating Garfield head, edited to resemble a Cacodemon. The head is surprised at the gun being pointed at it}

SFX: POW!

{In the final panel, only a line of text is seen, reading "The cartoonist has elected not to show this panel due to its graphic nature", leaving the Cacogarf's final state to the imagination}

The author writes:

After reading through SRoMG #4378, I began thinking of instances I could use some of the panels in. The first-person perspective, specifically, was what gave me the idea for this comic.
