Strip by: JakeLeB

{It's June 19th, 2020. Garfield, having turned 42, decides to check his website in order to see his new strip. Spoiler alert, Garfield, it's terrible. Anyways...}
SFX: Tick
{Instead of seeing his homepage, he sees a message on the screen}
Message: Garfield is now a part of the Nickelodeon Family! You will be redirected to his new home on Nick.com in: 14
{Garfield is very disgusted by this. 42 years of strips, HD ones mind you, gone. He throws his phone and walks away, glancing at the 4th wall in an annoyed way}
Garfield: Thanks, Nick
{I'm not mad, I'M FURIOUS}

On June 19th of 2020, Garfield.com was shut down. Not only was it a source of HD Garfield comics, but it was the last place(?) to see HD, colored versions of the U.S. Acres comics as well. Nickelodeon, more specifically Viacom, threw all of that away in order to get more people to go to their stupid site. Thanks for the birthday gift....jerks.
