Garfield

Garfield is main protagonist from many Garfield comic strips. He was born on June 19, 1978, in the kitchen of Mamma Leoni's Italian Restaurant.

Why He Deserves Lasagna

 * 1) He is an amazing cat and one of the most memorable cartoon cats in history, and along with many cartoon characters or cats, he is very iconic. In fact, a lot more iconic than Heathcliff himself.
 * 2) His imagination and antics from his own show were underrated.
 * 3) He is very hilarious and has spawned many hilarious internet memes over time.
 * 4) Also, his deadpan sarcasm is hilarious.
 * Lorenzo Music, Bill Murray and Frank Welker (despite the sheer goofiness from Garfield's voice in The Garfield Show) all did a great job voicing him. Giving him a charming tone of voice.
 * 1) Almost all of his designs are great.
 * 2) He is obviously smarter than how you'd perceive him with his everyday laziness, especially for a cat.
 * 3) He may seem rude and mean-spirited to his friends, but he still cares about them deep down.
 * 4) Speaking of which, his friend-hate relationship with Odie is even more underrated since even though he kicks him off the table a lot, he still considers Odie as his best friend.
 * 5) On top of that, his jealousy and rivalry with Nermal never got old and the way he tries to get back at him is just satisfying.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He may be considered very unlikable in some of his appearances, especially all 5 of the Garfield movie adaptations, and The Garfield Show, although most of the time, he finds a way to redeem himself.
 * 2) He can lack some common sense at times, but he is still smart enough to solve his own problems with Odie and do many other things.
 * 3) His hate for Mondays and jokes about his laziness have been done to death.
 * 4) * Also, jokes about his fat appearance and eating addictions are also done to death, if not more.
 * 5) * It makes little to no sense for him to hate Mondays since he as a cat, doesn't have a job.
 * 6) His backstory on how he lost so much weight from his first debut with being originally obese was unexplained, and how/why he is able to eat anything other than cat food without any side effects does sound weird and senseless.
 * 7) * It's not really explained how he's able to stand on 2 legs like a normal person, as with a lot of his human-like actions.
 * 8) As much as he loves eating, he can come off as gluttonous, voracious & unhealthy at times. This is slightly understandable as he came from an Italian restaurant as described in his origins.
