      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.

          Just because Newspapers didn’t want it doesn’t mean people didn’t want it. Corporations intentionally bland up their products to appeal to the most people possible. Just look at the colors of bed linens that are commonly available, or car colors, or JJ Abrams movies. All intentionally blanded up to appeal to the widest demographic without even the possibility of offense.
