I actually watched a youtube video years ago. Before Garfield he tried to be edgy in his comics, and found it hard to make a living.

This was in the 70s. Newspapers didn't want his edgy comics. So he went back and tried to make the most bland, boring, cringy comic he could with intentionally lame jokes.

Newspapers ate it up in the 80s, and it was a hit. So he made a new rule. No good writing allowed in Garfield. Make it as bland as possible to appeal to boring people.

And thats why he's either a millionaire, or a billionaire today.
