His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- He is often abusive towards Jon, frequently indirectly insulting him but sometimes going further by harming him, such as when he:
- Mauled him for refusing to give him a lick of ice cream. While this was purposefully censored, it can be clearly seen that Jon was injured in the next panel.
- He and Odie shoved a camera up Jon's nose because he unintentionally made them fall off a table in the 3/24/1985 strip.
- When Jon bought Garfield a small suit to match his own, Garfield shoved it up his nose.
- He once hooked an anchor to Jon's leg, causing him to be dragged all the way to Italy.
- He is constantly abusive towards Odie, who almost never provokes him in any way. This often includes kicking him off of the table and constantly calling him stupid.
- He mistreats Nermal out of jealousy of him being cuter than him.
- He has tormented and killed numerous spiders that are sapient to him, even when they do nothing wrong to him. Some examples include when he:
- Squished the mother, father, 4 brothers, and 6 sisters of a spider. When the spider confronted him about it, he callously held up a newspaper and hoped that he would be the last of his line, presumably killing him.
- Squished a spider near his bed. After seeing the dead spider's wife and son, he wondered if he should feel remorse but then refused to and proceeded to attack them.
- Lured a spider into a blender with intent to use it on him.
- When a spider assured Garfield that they were not poisonous, Garfield squashed them anywhere, stating that they were still "icky".
- When a spider turned climbed onto the bulb of the lamp, Garfield sadistically turned it on and burned the spider.
- When a spider begs Garfield not to swat it, he stomps the spider instead while smiling.
- Crushed a spider scout named Jenny with his mug when she attempted to sell him cookies in order to raise money for her troop.
- When a spider named Myron introduced himself to Garfield and tried to shake his hand, Garfield smiled and sadistically planned to crush him with a mallet.
- After crushing and gravely injuring a spider, Garfield takes advantage to talk to the spider after having physically recovered and took advantage of their amnesia to crush the spider again.
- Squashes a spider after they assure him that they are a pacifist and will not bite him.
- When a spider tells Garfield that they should be friends, Garfield squashes them.
- Attached a balloon to the web of a spider who was not doing anything and released the spider outside to fly away into the sky while the spider screamed in terror.
- Squashed a spider when they wished him happy holidays.
- He constantly eats (or attempts to eat) several living things just to fuel his own gluttony. This includes birds, fish, sentient flowers, sentient food, etc. Many of these times, Garfield has no reason for eating these innocent creatures, and usually his victims are genuinely afraid of Garfield’s presence, and he knows that. Like with the spiders, Garfield knows that the victims he eats are sapient and can easily communicate with them, yet despite that, he still continues to eat them. What is worse is that Garfield has plenty of food that he can eat instead of these innocent creatures, showing that he does not eat them in order to survive. It is also shown that sometimes Garfield eats his victims alive, as we can hear them communicating through his stomach on a few occasions (which is likely a worse fate, as they would suffer a much slower and more painful death).
- He has also killed some of Jon's other pets in the past (mostly fish), due to his hunger.
- He constantly destroys his sentient alarm clock. At one point, he repeatedly stomped on it, giving it a slow death.
- He regularly abuses and tortures his sentient weight scale, RX-2. While RX-2 can be a jerk to him, it is confirmed in one strip that the reason for them doing this is because it hates its job and has insecurities (which it specifically told Garfield about). On two occasions, he slowly crushed RX-2 to death with his weight and justified the second time as a "justifiable homicide."
- Due to there being no other heinous characters in the comics, Garfield easily passes the heinous standards and baseline from his several murders, and tortures of sentient spiders, his alarm clock, and weight scale.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- His character and almost all of his actions are played for laughs, making him far too comedic for Near Pure Evil and essentially making him a non-villain.
- He did show care for others:
- Despite being abusive to them, there are times he shows genuine care for Jon, Odie, and a few others.
- He genuinely cares for his girlfriend, Arlene.
- He cares for his stuffed animal, Pooky.
- He is mostly portrayed as a hero, making him on & off, as he can genuinely perform nice things at times, despite his ego being a notable barrier of his personality.
Trivia[]
