Jim Davis talks Garfield Video | Cartoonist Creates Controversy On Veterans Day 2010

26 sec read

Jim Davis is in the middle of a huge controversy at the moment thanks to a Garfield strip some have taken to be a direct attack on war veterans.

This video shows Garfield creator Jim Davis talking about the beloved cartoon character and how he approaches the job of writing and drawing new strips for Garfield to populate every day.

The reason for posting this video is because of the number of people who have taken the Garfield strip which appeared in yesterday’s newspapers (Nov. 11) the wrong way, accusing it of being derogatory to veterans.

I don’t believe it was, and even if it were then it wasn’t Davis’ choice to have this particular strip, featuring the line, “National Stupid Day,” appear on Veterans Day.
