Jim Davis truly captures the essence of Garfield here. The nihilism displayed in the first panel as Garfield tosses aside the instrument of his own gluttony really speaks to some deeper tones that Davis attempts to highlight. Garfield’s exhaustion combined with his almost disingenuous discarding of the table scraps showcases his unwavering ability to disregard the societal norms of the world. While Garfield wishes that he could consume all in front of him, he simply cannot. He grows weary of the trials of day to day life. Garfield, much like all of us, can no longer stand it. I think all of our metaphorical “taste buds” are exhausted at this point.
