Not all great comics need to sell out.

I think he's fairly happy with the results.

In what fucking world?

In the fucking 80-90s. Every single Garfield adaptation past it is okay at best.
>>94279332
Because Garfield was such an amazing comic to begin with, right?
>>94279332
Those movies and TV shows suck that's why

Amazing no but, Garfield was a pretty funny strip throughout the late 70's and 80's. I still have like the first 8 compilation books and reading them still gets hearty chuckles and amused smiles out of me.
The Garfield comic strip should have ended ages ago but, man, I will defend the fuck out of early era Garfield.

The things you list have a certain camp charm but by no reasonable measure can they be considered great. Time to take off those nostalgia goggles anon

Nobody cares about Flash Gordon, Dick Tracy or Garlfield, with movies or without them.
Your bait is weak

Flash Gordon sold out back when your grandparents were children OP and Hitler and Stalin were in power.

Calvin and Hobbes is timeless (mostly).

Garfield should have died by the time the first cartoon series and its specials ended.

The difference is that unlike the others, we get a great comic.
