How I Rewrote the History of Garfield
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2020
- Note: this video's title and thumbnail have changed. The original title was 'My Garfield Vacation: A Historical Voyage'
Here it is! Six months in the making, a voyage into the lost history of the Garfield comic strip, from Fairmount to Muncie. I have spent a lot of time making sure that all this Garfield content is in good condition, and I hope you guys like this little documentation of the journey. Crack open a new pack of Lasagne, gather around with the family, and join me on my Garfield Vacation!

why was the title of the video changed lol
50:16: Fitting song to use, since the title of the music track is called "Salute to a New Beginning", which fits the whole rewriting of Garfield History!
Speaking of which, 8:04: So Garfield *was* named after a President. The name was taken from Jim Davis' Grandfather who happens to be named after the President.
I'm really sorry, but my confusion over Fredrik Knudsen not being credited is somehow actually impeding my ability to continue the video. Did you just forget to credit him or was there some sort of beef that led to you removing it from the description?
Why
Now I know I'm a little late to ask this, but I can't find who's playing the part of Lyman in the gnorm comics. For some reason I am persuaded that it's big Joel 😂
Last week: hunting Hitler
This week: hunting Garfield
The Nazis developed the technology to turn people into cats. Hitler escaped to Muncie and became Garfield.
Hunting Liz
*Garfield is still alive*
Pre.Last Week: hunting aliens
Next week: Jim Davis is Hitler
You know when your friend is really into something you don't care about, but they're so passionate about it that their enthusiasm becomes infectious and you end up listening to them talk about it for hours?
Jeh and then you start getting into it and before you know it, you own 30 houseplants.
That’s how my friend got me into Sonic, DBZ, and Jewishness
Well my friends certainly know that feeling.
i love how the employees werent only cooperative- THEY were the ones insisting you see more and showing you more than you initially asked. what cool people!
See, you watch this video and you think, oh wow, what nice midwesterners. Whereas I watch and think, "Statistically speaking, a lot of these people hate gays, and at least one of these nice old-timers would probably attend a lynching if he heard someone was putting one together."
Growing up in Indiana I probably heard at some point that Jim Davis is from here... but somehow never put two and two together and have always just assumed it was common for businesses to randomly have Garfield statues? Like I just thought Garfield was so widely loved that random grocery stores just sometimes decided to have statues of him installed. Indiana being Jim Davis' home state makes a lot more sense, but I miss the world I used to live in where I thought random Garfield statues were a common occurrence everywhere lmao
I was just thinking the same thing, haha. I've lived in Indiana for over 20 years and I never gave it a second thought that Garfield is everywhere. It was much the same in central Illinois where I grew up since that was Garfield's prime time. I loved Garfield growing up so I just assumed so did everyone else and that's why I see him everywhere. Didn't put two and two together about the Jim Davis being from Indiana connection until now. You're not alone, haha.
Same! I’ve lived in Indy for like three years now, and i don’t think i ever even knew Jim Davis was from the area. I just assumed that Garf was just a big enough cultural icon that some people liked to have statues and signs and stuff of the character 😂
@@MrMoogle Sadly central IL is largely Garfieldless now.
I want to live in a world where Garfield is so widely adored that cities in all 50 states have Garfield statues.
I would love to live in a world where I thought/ there was a Garfield statue in every grocery store
The closest thing I have to this is growing up in Kansas, while I understood Arkansas was pronounced are-kin-saw, I for some reason thought the Arkansas River was pronounced "are-Kansas River". Lmao. I think I assumed that the Arkansas River in Kansas was a completely separate river from the actual Arkansas River? To this day if I ever have to mention the Arkansas River in front of someone who isn't from Kansas, I have to pause and think before I speak lmao.
Oh, but you bet your ass if you're from Kansas I have no shame in calling that river ar-kansas river.
"person going incredibly in-depth into a subject that they are passionate about" is one of my favorite genres of youtube videos
what would your video be about?
@@ulture mine would be ninjago honestly 😂 even though I haven’t watched any of the new seasons I remember so much about the show from when I was a kid
@@dombjomb I don't even know what that is, oof
here in North Carolina is for some reason obsessed with the peanuts its literally the mascot of Carowinds im guessing the same thing happened here
@@ulture probably danganronpa, ngl
I know self deprecating humor is fashionable, but it made me kind of sad when Quinton was on Maple Street and said “Don’t waste your life like I have.” Quinton’s unironic joy in all things Garfield is really refreshing to see and I think it’s wonderful he found that street. It’s a street that reminded me of my home town and gave me a moment of reflection. I hope Quinton’s self deprecation is exaggerated because his Garfield content has given me a lot of joy in learning about Garfield as an important figure in pop culture.

Self deprecating comedy has shown To have a bad mental effect because you internalize it into the way you think, just something to keep in mind.
Yeah he's joking. Its common for us midwesterners to deflect when our nerdiness is under the microscope.
You can tell because even his dad laughed when he said it. Just joking about the irony that such a silly little thing like this could bring a grown man so much joy but we all do it.
@@dannydethanos6994 meh it's the sign of a man with humility and self awareness. I don't trust anyone who can't laugh at themselves.
I came here right after finishing part 2 of Victorious, and I just want to say: hearing you talk about something you very clearly love ardently is so nice and refreshing. I love your iCarly mini series, but this is really nice after all the… you know …feet and crimes.
It really drives home for me the concept of: the best content to make is the content you like. Whether it's content you want to see so you make it yourself, or content you like the process of making, it adds an extra oomph to the final result
FEET AND CRIMES 😭
Ah yes, Dan the man and the foot fetish boogie.
And that’s UA-cam crime #2
This is why I watch Quinton. His videos have become a sort of ...joke on social media. And I admit that's how I found his content. I said to myself, "Haha, let's watch the first 10 minutes of this long Victorious video, how absurd."
Next thing I know I'm an hour into it.
The fact he takes time to dedicate so much passion into stuff he's not even that into, is what I like.
This feels like the opposite of Eyepatch Wolf's Garfield video. John starts to lose his mind as he goes further into the internet culture surrounding Garfield while Quinton just gives a nice, heartfelt video just about the history of Jim Davis comics.
The lesson here is don't interact with internet fandoms
I came here after watching SEW’s Garfield video. Seeing a fan with a more wholesome take on Garfield is incredibly refreshing after how heavy that video was
"Oh, boy, my first day as a shopkeep in Indiana! I can't wait to-"
Quinton, breaking through the front wall: "SHOW ME THE 2003 GARFIELD S T A T U E"
“I KNOW HES HERE, YOU CANT HIDE HIM FROM ME SHOW ME THE O R A N G E O N E”
As an Indiana native, I can confirm that every building requires a statue of Garfield, not just the businesses. Even houses and apartments. Plus, if you remove it, you get arrested. Removing my statue was never in the cards, though because my house came with a load bearing Garfield
I'm pretty sure "my house came with a load bearing Garfield" is a brand new sentence.
Sometimes I lose faith in the UA-cam comment section, but then a beautiful thing like "load bearing Garfield" gets said and I find my faith once more.
Sometimes you just come across phrases that tickle and please you to no end, “Load-bearing Garfield” is absolutely one of those.
Honorable mention to “Expired Cow” from the Fred video
This a good comment. 10/10
@@crescentfresh8001 could be worse, you could find the lurkers that suck up the fun in everything and I ironically use 4chan language
So, Jim Davis is still alive. Has anyone like, shown him this absolute love letter to his work?
As a native Hoosier, I have never met anyone who has stayed in our state for 5 days and experienced joy.
I am very happy that you were able to accomplish this.
Okay but what about the corn???
All we have is corn. And Gary Indiana but we don’t talk about that.
Riding a Garfield kids ride and shifting between hysterical and desolate is a good depiction of my life right now
Kat Bird, you may be my spiritual other half. 💝
@@Kimmaline I am glad to hear I'm not alone 💖
Aye
@Camel King Clarith fucking loved this comment
In a sense, this video itself is the Garfield ride that we're all on right now
The image of Jon waiting around the corner for 'that girl' is even more horrifying bc of the way his shirt is drawn with a very unfortunate bulge.
I think it looks more like a concealed pistol.
@@Will-ee9vz I was about to say the same. It's a gun! :D
Z That's not better!
As someone who was (still am, I guess) obsessed with Garfield I'm glad I found your channel. When I was a kid I collected everything Garfield I possibly could, bought the books when they came out, rented them from the library, picked up plushies from garage sales... Every birthday card was always Garfield. As a 35 year old lady I still get Garfield cards from my family. Lol! So, I'm jazzed to have found someone who shares the same reverence for one fat orange cat.
i love how at so many points in this video where quinton talks to someone about garf, they’re always like “oh you HAVE to see this stuff, too” it’s just so cool seeing people share what they love with each other
Imagine your local newspaper writing about how you're going to spend your holiday break
Still happens in some small towns.
Eh, it's no weirder than people writing about their vacation on any social media platform nowadays.
"Michael is going to go down a ski lodge for about 3 days, bring enough coats!"
"Isaac is going to binge every episode of BBCs Sherlock."
@@JL-ot1kgoh my god, I wish that actually happened now
"Kat will watch anime, play minecraft, and cry!"
If Garfield was real and we hung out, this is what it would look like-
Quinton Reviews simping after a fat orange cat
I really hope people come back to watch this one from the Victorious vid. This is one of my favorite of yours, I remember when I first came out. It actually inspired me to get back involved in my local historical society because of how noble I think this kind of work is. Keep up the great work Quinton!
That’s why I’m here!
The views grew by like 50k since the victorious vid!
that’s why i’m here as well!
As an individual with an MA in history, the level of dedication in investigating the origins of Garfield is amazing. I speak from personal experience when I say that I know what it feels like to read microfilm for hours on end
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
" Thanks OJ"
- Garfield
Something is so ethereal about that line
@@inverted_paradox4170 It feels like it came from another dimension
Who said Garfield couldn't love Orange Juice?
OJ being asked well who did do it?
OJ looks at the orange cat LOLOL
Should not be joking but is funny - what an odd connection
Moral of the story is if you introduce your son to something you love, he'll still be a freak for it 20 years later.
It isn't for nothing that you consider this your magnum opus, this video is just overflowing with personality and passion. Your enthusiasm is contagious, I was full on onboard with your journey uncovering Garfield creator Lore. Now I kinda understand why you are so fixated in Garfield.
Thank you for your work in putting together this masterpiece, good job!
Let’s give a hand to Quinton’s dad. He literally was the cameraman for some of the most important moments in lost media history.
Also he filmed his adult son riding a Garfield storefront ride for 3 year olds.
Today I've found that the connection between James Garfield and the Garfield comic strip was stronger than I thought
Alternate Reality where Garfield the president is never shot so the cat's name is Lincoln.
"Don't waste your life like I've wasted mine. Find something creative to do, *other* than whatever has lead me to this point in my life."
I dunno dude. You seemed so legitimately happy throughout this video. You seemed fulfilled, overjoyed, even euphoric to see these statues, and comic strips, and all the stuff in this documentary. Your words say "don't live like me" but your actions say "I'm the happiest man on Earth." It's hard to argue against results like that.
It isn't cool or leftist-chic to be happy
@@goldbergshekelwitz1596 idk i think your just sad

“Yep. This is big brain time.”
I really like the Jon poem thing, not only because of the extended universe, but because it implies that in true Jon Arbuckle fashion, the creators of the poetry book did the literary equivalent of a Mike Wazowski and misspelled his name. That just absolutely feels like something that would happen in Garfield-Jon finally does something important, consequential, worthwhile, only to get none of the credit because of a single errant letter.
Sometimes when my depression is really hitting, I come back to this video to try to absorb some secondhand happiness from Quentin's sheer joy and passion with this project
I recommend this wholeheartedly!!
Quinton, as a professional archivist, I've really enjoyed watching your videos on your Garfield research. Archives are such wonderful resources that a lot of peoples don't realize are free and open to the public (in most cases nowadays). I hope that your videos plant that seed for your viewers. One of the reasons archivists preserve and describe this stuff is just so curious people like you can tell untold stories like this one.
I've never given Garfield a single thought, I'm just happy to see my boy Quinton having such a good time
as a Canadian, i only know that Muncie, Indiana exists bc of parks and recreation and that makes it feel even more magical
is this why it was the fav vacation place of jerry and his family
It's wild to me that this is considered one of your "less popular" videos. I've been following you since the Nostalgia Critic video and still primarily think of you as "the Garfield guy"
10/10 Documentary, btw
Broke: National Lampoon's Vacation
Woke : Quinton Reviews: Garfield Vacation
Do you just mean "Vacation"? There's nothing called Family Vacation.
As someone living in Indiana, I truly cannot fathom coming here for fun, however it is a Garfield landmine
You mean goldmine? 😹
you: *walking*
Garfield landmines: lasagna
@@autobotstarscream765 no, the Garfield detonates on impact
Landmark perhaps?
@@cockroachwithapencil9909 as someone from Indiana I can confirm
I come back to this video periodically just to see the pure joy Quinton exudes. I love to see people unironically enjoy their niche interests. It's so lovely to see.
The fact that Quintons love of Garfield is so clearly tied to his bond with his father is just wonderful. A lot of media only shows us father/son relationships that are hostile or cold or based on the son not living up to his father's dreams. And a lot of those deal with a traditionally masculine father being unable to connect with his dorky or otherwise non-macho son. So it's just nice to see the opposite of that.
Has anyone checked on Jim Davis to see if he's safe from Quinton
Legit thought he was going to his house at the end
@@fuzzybuzzy3159 I thought that as well!!
Quinton would never hurt Jim Davis.
"I want my treasure chest."
Nah, Jim Davis has actually long been murdered by the Team behind lasagna cat - btw does anyone know if Quinton has commented on their content in any way?
I only recently found their vids and was in awe at how amazingly great some of them are, but as someone who (outside of memes, gorefield and such) has had relatively little interaction with Garfield at all, I was surprised to find out how hated Jim Davis and even early Garfield seems to be
"The poet John Arbuckle" Gnorm Gnat actually takes place millennia after the world of Garfield is ravaged by nuclear war and Jon's comics and cartoons, much like Homer's epics, are some of the last remaining first-hand accounts of the late 1970s until the break out of the war.
this is an amazing premise ngl lol
This is such a ridiculous concept that it Mingus almost work, lol.
Remember that one Garfield storyline where Garfield travels into the future when he no longer exists and his home is abandoned? It all fits together...
I’m a huge sap who loves when people love things and this video literally made me cry lol. Your dedication to archiving and preserving this history of a thing you adore is so touching and genuine and I thank you for sharing it.
I thought I was the only one like this❤
This man sharing his love for this oddly specific yet amazing piece of culture - "I bet I'm boring you" PLEASE. This was the best, most entertaining video I've seen in a long time and I wish it was longer lmao.
38:21
Heard joke once: Cat went to the Vet says he's depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.
Vet says, Treatment is simple. Great comic Garfield is in the daily funny pages . He should read a few of them and he will feel better.
Cat bursts into tears...but Doc he says...I hate Mondays.
Haha, good joke. Everybody laughs. Newspaper recycled.
Was not expecting a Watchmen reference in these comments 😂
34:51 The intro of Quinton riding that animatronic warmed my heart, but this moment absolutely melted it.
He's just so passionate, no words can describe how charming this is video is & all the careful thought put into it. I do hope you can return another day just for your own sake, no work attached.
Personally, I'm obsessed with Peter Rabbit & had high hopes of visiting its tourist attraction when I was finishing university as an international student. Then with covid happening, that's going to be postponed for possibly a year or two. But watching Quinton share his roadtrip, I'm genuinely filled with joy for him xx
as someone who has seen "07/27/1978" by lasagnacat legitimately over 70 times, and who has watched it every day for the past 2 months, i GENUINELY yelled "YES" and started clapping when i heard him say "the pipe strip"
Him meeting Jim Mansfield really felt like 2 long lost friends catching up 🥺 Love this video, it's like we get to share his passion and his happiness for a moment.
This is one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen.
whenever i heard "the employee insisted..." or something i always kind of braced for disappointment only to have that immediately washed away when you get a chance to see some really neat shit
46:29 "it was here were I discovered my main demographic is girls with pink hair"
I started laughing until I realized I'm a girl with pink hair
I loved this so much. It makes me a bit sad to hear the self hate humor when you went to Garfield's street though. It's okay to be happy, you don't need to put yourself down for enjoying what you enjoy. If anything, cherishing that is important.
To the people that said I’d never make it, my friend animated the Garfield episode of Quinton Reviews

THIS is why you mentioned in your disneyland video that you went on vacation to indiana!! i was honestly concerned when you said that, as a person from indiana, why anybody in their right mind would come here.
Spacey Carchasey other than james dean and Garfield, not too much here than people who work for a living and meth heads
@@BobHoss4 Hello fellow Hoosier! I actually met Jim Davis, he came into my store once but I didn't realize it was him until after he left. Still bums me out thinking about it.
To be fair, after this video I wouldn't exactly describe Quinton as in his right mind.
@@h0wnr681 I met him once too! I was really little and my dad and I met him at a steak and shake. He gave me a drawing and an autograph and to this day im FURIOUS that i lost it!
Indiana makes great people like greg Kinnear and Strother Martin. Indiana May be a bit shit but I love it and I’ll be buried in its hallowed ground, maybe near Jim Jones’ Dad up in that cemetery in Winchester :) 765 for life
I was so surprised that you said this video wasn’t particularly successful during the victorious video because it’s what made me subscribe to your channel. As someone who really has no interest in Garfield or any nostalgia for him this was such an interesting exploration and I’m enjoying watching it again!
I think it's really nice that you went on this trip with your dad.
Your genuine love of Garfield makes me so happy. I loved newspaper comics as a kid, including Garfield, and would read them in the paper, and check out the books from my library. But I grew out of that phase, and the internet convinced me that they were lame. So I've really loved seeing someone around my age that unabashedly loves something without irony.
You're in luck! There are a TON of great webcomics
"My main demographic is girls with pink hair".... well, you've got me pegged.....
i already watched this video months ago but i cam back from the victorious call to action. And i agree this deserve so much more views, the work you did for the history of garfield is INSANE
Me finishing the second victorious video then rushing here to watch this video because quinton asked us to
same
you know, in comic fandom there's a thing called "Tintinology" it's Tintin brought down to a science, Donald Duck has the same kind of thing "Donaldism". You might be the worlds first "Garfieldologist"
"This Garfield supports American interventionism in the Middle East" [loud echoing oof]
I'm here after you asked us to check out this video at the end of the victorious pt2 and I'm really glad you did! This was a very interesting video even though I am just an average fan of Garfield. I'm sorry your video didn't perform better and it's absolutely crazy to me that you uncovered such a huge piece of Garfield history that was lost for so long!!!
Responding to the call to action from the end of victorious video and looking forward to rewatching this 😊 definitely deserves more views
i loaded this up again to show support for the re-listing, only to be AGAIN struck by the sweet, pure joy of the opening sequence where you ride a Garfield ride. this year has sucked but that little moment never fails to make me smile, now even months later.
As soon as I heard "Have another ride soon!" I was like "WJWOKFKTKOE JOLLY ROGER!! THEY MADE THE SUPERMAN KIDDIE RIDE!!!!!!"
The only historical voyage of a trip that catches my interest.
Nathaniel Foga Magellan ain‘t got shit on this
Mayflower? Never heard of it. The only flower that matters is the one thrown at Garfield.
It's so weird as someone who lives in Indiana to have someone on the internet actually talking about places I've been to on a semi-frequent basis.
Honestly my favorite part of this is when he handed Quinton that incredibly rare pin and you can just. See the vice grip. That pin is never leaving his sight, ever.
But seriously I LOVE when people get super deep into "niche" interests like this. It's an incredible boon to media preservation. I can't believe all of those rare strips and items were found! That's awesome!!
Edit: Also the more I watch it, the more amazed I am that there is a LOT of cool stuff in the world and cool stories you can learn by just... asking people nicely. All of these cool rooms, items, etc people were MORE than happy to talk about just because Quinton just... asked nicely and seemed appreciative.

I live in Muncie and this video is so surreal. I know some of the filmmakers you borrowed footage from and I've been to a couple of these locations. I'm pretty sure the Centre for the Arts is haunted lol
Why is it hunted?
I’m in Pendleton haha and grew up in Muncie
SO SURREAL! I go to college in Muncie and to see Quentin driving past places I see every day...it’s weeeeeird!
I live in gas city and seeing my towns tiny little library and Payne’s (the only good restaurant in town) in a UA-cam video freaked me out lol
God your dedication is truly admirable... I've never actually felt passion for something to the extent that even on my vacation I'd dedicate most of my time to
Honestly, this is oddly inspiring to me
One of the (relatively speaking) few who saw this prior to end of victorious, and this isgenuinely fascinating and deserves more views. Go, algorithm, go!
It was a pleasure to voice Jon again! You took the journey that every Garfield UA-camr dreams of, buddy!
Super happy for you and I’m thrilled you documented it for us!
Hello Wyatt Duncan Donuts
'Garfield youtuber' isn't a title I ever expected to see.
Garftubers.
I'm a viewer on the verge of homelessness and my landlords cut off my wifi so I'm watching this at 2am in my city centre. This is such a great video, and I'm someone who has no strong feelings for Garfield either way. I'm also not American, so I don't think I have the same connection to the character. However, I loved learning about the illustrator and seeing the influence of Garfield on local communities. There's a lot I've taken from this video but can't fully talk about. Tonight has been a night where I've had a lot yelled at me from drivers, and I've not yet finished the video. This was really enjoyable, easy to get into. Thanks for another great video!
I cannot believe a year has passed and no one has at least taken to time to ask if you were alright.
I know we are strangers. But I genuinely give you my best wishes.
Jesus...i mean...that sucks and all but...what does that have to do eith anything?? O.o
I hope your life has improved somewhat! Homelessness is awful and traumatic. I'm glad you were able to find joy in the madness
I had to come back to this after the victorious vids, it's just so wholesome
I was directed to your videos a couple weeks ago. Came here after watching Victorious pt 2. I thought the Garfield fandom in other videos was ironic and it warms my heart to see how incredibly genuine it all is.
This all hits very close to home for me, because I actually live in a town known for a comic strip. I live in Santa Rosa, the home of 'Peanuts,' by Charles M. Shulz. You can't go very far without seeing a statue of a peanuts character. We have a 'Snoopy's Ice Rink,' a museum dedicated to Charles Schultz-and we did have his childhood home, until the fires. So all this is just very normal and familiar to me.
That, is adorable.
The “statues customized by local artists” is familiar to me as well. I live in Utrecht, which is the home of Nijntje, or Miffy as she is known in most of the world.
His childhood home was in Saint Paul MN, and there’s statues all over there as well. I used to live just a few houses down. He died in Santa Rosa but he grew up in Saint Paul (and peanuts makes more sense as a MN comic to me, it’s very midwestern not to mention all the snow...)
This man, Quinton, an amazing guy, put so much work into restoring lost history to give something to make humanity even just a little greater. What a great man. He should be in the history books.
I have returned from the future to enjoy this video. Always rooting for you Quinton!
i came from the end of victorious video and i am SO glad i did. it makes me so happy to see someone so passionate and genuinely happy about things that a lot of people might find silly. i’m sorry this didn’t do so well initially because it deserves to be hyped!!!
Ah, a man of culture.
Garfield culture.
Garfield's culture is MY prom dress.
My culture is not a costume
@@nsalegit9482 oh jeez, I'm sorry, I didn't realise there were any garfieldiens here
I remember that, in one of the anniversary books, Jim Davis said that he once saw some ad that went along the lines of “John arbuckle enjoys this coffee”, and that name stuck with him as just the perfect name for the Everyman. So there is some truth to your theory about Jon arbuckle just being Jim Davis’s stock name.
This video is honestly a joy to watch. An hour worth of content of someone going in-depth about something they're so clearly passionate and excited about is really nice and easy to listen to.
Had to check out your magnum opus and was not disappointed 🙏🏼
"This one proved to be impossible to restore or even READ"
Dude. It says "I wished I lived in 6th Century Britain during the time of King Arthur. I can see me now... A gnat in shining armor."
Quinton’s eyes were probably burning by that point due tp the sheer number of comic strips he’d been looking at
And I mean, Photoshop is still a thing, right?
Exactly
18:38 "...and they were ROOMMATES"
*oh my god they were roommates*
I came to this video after watching some of your recent extra long videos, not knowing what to expect. I am so glad I watched this video!! Not only is the content just wholesome and interesting, it's amazing to see your dedication and joy at finding these comics. I'll admit I know nothing about Garfield but just experiencing this alongside you in video form was fantastic and oddly educational and fun! Super awesome video!!
I love how dedicated he is to this character. I makes me happy to know that there can still be so much love for it. It’s awesome.
Haven’t watched the whole video, but you hit my nostalgia here. I’m autistic and I had moments in my childhood that my special interests were Garfield (when the movie came out, I watched it in the cinema, and later many times on VHS and DVD) and Peanuts, and I remember my dad printing out Peanuts comics to me, and they were so awesome. It was back when the internet was still pure html with some JavaScript here and there.
I'm exactly the same way, my hyperfixation was newspaper comics, and my grandfather would always save up the funnies from throughout the week to give to me when I visited on weekends. I would always get Garfield and Peanuts comic book as gifts from family for birthdays and holidays. It's nice to know I shared those niche special interests with someone.
Me: Is having an anxiety flare-up
Quinton: Posts an hour video about Garfield
Me: This will cure me
This is the most weirdly calming thing ngl
How’d it go?
Fif Gallag it was effective I calming me down
I've lived in Indiana my entire life and gone to college here and sometimes it feels very embarrassing to admit because it's such a hellstate but this video makes me feel a tiny bit of... pride? Joy? For the place I was born and always lived.
Thanks.
Garfield fans really are the One Piece fans of sunday comic enthusiests
Quinton Reviews' magnum opus, re-restored to its proper vision at last!
That Pendleton library is bigger than the ones I'm used to in big cities. And yes, libraries rock
Yeah, I was confused as hell when he said the library was smaller than what he's used to as libraries in my city are usually half the size of the one he showed. Honestly it makes me kind of jealous...
I’m now going to head canon that the reason Jerry from Prks and Rec loved Muncie so much was that he was secretly a huge Garfield fan.
I just came from the second Victorious video, and I have to say that this was such an endearing journey that I had a lot of fun watching. As a long time fan of Garfield myself, it's wonderful to see how much passion and love that comes from people who enjoy the character and its history
It is… extremely surreal seeing Quintin just hangin out, lookin at Garfield stuff, in the town were I was raised and lived for most of my childhood
Muncie is also obsessed with Bob Ross, as he filmed on the ball state campus.
As soon as Quinton mentioned Muncie, I kept asking myself where I knew that name from. I am so glad I saw this comment, or else it probably would have continued to haunt me for several days, until I eventually watched an episode of "The Joy of Painting" and remembered.
This video gave me some good feels. As a person who also hyperfixates on specific works of media, watching someone with the same level of passion being able to enjoy such an iconic trip really gives me the happies :) And as a child who had their own Garfield-phase, it was great being sent back to a happy part of my childhood through this video
yes the garfield content i needed
There's something so wholesome and infectious about seeing and hearing people talk about their interests with such knowledge and passion. Whether nor not you share the same interests. Also those Garfield hangers @30:37 - I've never seen such things...and I kinda dig them.
"this garfield supports american interventionalism in the middle east!" SHJSKSHFKHDFKF THIS SENT MEEEE
Made my way here after you bumped it on the End of Victorious video. I can see why you're so happy with this one, your passion is so evident and the hard work you've put into it shows. I never thought I'd find myself getting into an hour long video about Garfield, but here we are. Keep doing what you're doing!
