Garfield Literature

I got this from a Garfield comic...
Picture Garfield holding a rubber bone with a scratching pad behind him.

"Dogs have the stupidest toys. Just look at this rubber bone. Simple Minds, Simple Pleasures. It certainly doesn't hold the scintillating intellectual challenge of my fuzzy scratching post with the springy rubber mousie."

LoL?
This tells a very nice story of judging others and being in your own perspective. Its also just like us, seeing things in our own worldly view and using the sole gifts logic and reason which God had beseeched on us. Again, in this situation, we have the concept and naturally assume that logic and reason are supposed to be the testers of things.
Hey, God could give you more gifts couldn't he? There might be much more than using logic and reason. So please don't give us some crap on blind devotion and faith being illogical.

Anyway.... I spent quite some time at the Libary today reading the garfield comic. Heh. Garfield is kinda inspirational at times. Just realised it today. I mean, grab a book and read, see symbolism and see hidden meanings. Linkages and concepts and such. Like, take time to study it. I dunno whether Jim Davis was intentional in doing the backdrops, but now that I discovered such, I think it was that which sub-conciously pulled me into being a Garfield fan in my pre-teens.

Let me just give a bit more symbolism...

Pooky
Source of comfort to him, comic strips invovle peer pressure, love, a necessity of such an element in life, show the power of silence, show how someone likes something etc.

Jon
Owns Garfield, but does he really? Leader, but is he one ? Deals with his dressing, his image, and when you tear down all the junk; a guy with no one near him and only a cat and dog for company does strike pity to him.(From you)

Nermal
Cute. But is it liked? Shows jealousy and stuff, shows how beauty can sometime be irritating, or hated.

.... And lots of other stuff like spiders and mondays and etc. But I think I can't really say much here. I need a Garfield strip. From there I should be able to do literature-fashion analysis on it.
I mean, look, search...
Seek.. deeper.
