Here Is Why Garfield Hates Mondays - Distractify

Time to face another Monday. #IHateMondays #MondayBlues #WakeMeForTheWeekend pic.twitter.com/D0NlVmrfCr

Garfield is a cat and doesn't have a job. The only ostensible difference between Monday and any other day is that Jon suddenly isn't around after having been home all weekend. Garfield doesn't hate Mondays, he loves Jon and is too proud to say it.

“when the strip first begins Jon introduces himself as a cartoonist and we see a panel of him at his drawing board so it is possible he could have been working from home this whole time” is maybe the sentence I’ve typed that has made me hate myself the most

I am willing to suspend belief such that, even if this is true, he closes his door or whatever so that he may work. There's still a separation where his time is not devoted to feeding a cat lasagne. I've decided this is the hill I will die on.

This is so incredibly true. Very evident in the special Garfield gets a life, where Garfield follows Jon as he tries to find a date. Garfield wants him to date until he realizes that Jon having a girl friend means Jon spends less time with him. https://t.co/oCLFyN9qNU

My take on Garfield hating Mondays is that President Garfield died on September 19, 1881, which was a Monday. And i literally feel like I'm the only person who has made that connection. https://t.co/8XyDPIp2Lf

Of course, now that we know he’s a work-from-home cartoonist, I wonder if Garfield truly hates Mondays because Garfield is a figment of Jon’s imagination (a la Sixth Sense) and only exists when Jon is paying attention to him? (Cite: Garfield Minus Garfield.)

Does Jon, the cartoonist, draw Garfield, the comic (and therefore the cat)? It’s Jon all the way down.... Inception-style. Is the real Jon, Jim Davis or is the real cartoonist Garfield, a cat, with a genius mind, lacking opposable thumbs, unable to create art teaming within him?

Proof: (First two frames of the very first Garfield comic.) Jon is Garfield’s ghost writer...of Garfield! pic.twitter.com/y4holJMxXN

I think my mind is exploding.

Layered like a lasagna. But I'm pretty sure it's been established that there is no Garfield: Garfield is Jon's Tyler Durden-esque expression of his id. His hatred of Mondays reflects Jon's weary longing to break his own weekly cycle of conformity, societal expectations and duty.
