Heated Debate Forces ‘Garfield’ Creator Jim Davis to Clarify Cat’s Gender

Oh for f*@%$ sakes!

 

Breitbart: A heated, days-long online debate over the gender of iconic cartoon cat Garfield has forced the fictional feline’s creator Jim Davis to provide a definitive explanation.

“Garfield is male,” Davis told the New York Daily News via his publicist.

“He has a girlfriend, Arlene,” he added, referring to Garfield’s longtime love interest.

In February, writer Virgil Texas took to his Twitter account to declare that the lasagna-loving cat had no gender. As proof, Texas cited a 2014 interview that Davis conducted with the outlet Mental Floss, in which the cat’s creator had said that by virtue of being a cat, “he’s not really male or female or any particular race or nationality, young or old.”  more

  1. Virgil Texas must not have seen the TV Garfield with the mellifluous man voice. Pssst… Virgil…Garfield is fat and loves to eat, too. Feel free to run with it.

  2. Next up: Does Garfield have a religion? Stay tuned.

    (Spoiler alert: Yes, Garfield is a devout Mouselim. If martyred in the name of Allahey Cat, he will receive a reward of 72 Virgils. From Texas.)

  3. haven’t seen BRAD in here for some time-anyone know if he is okay? hope he didn’t shot his big toe off coming up with a new gadget.. Hope his daughter is okay up there at school- remember one time he said he had to go there to reclaim a bet $$$$ his daughter made with some mex that wouldn’t pay. I will keep him in my prayers. 🙂
