I dreamed that “Garfield” was the name of a species of sort of mischievous fairy-cat that showed up in stupid old folk tales. Stories about Garfields showing up and tormenting foolish farmers who think they’re normal cats. The modern comic “Garfield” is merely an adaptation of the classic “greedy fat cat smarter than its owner” trope that strips away its rich historical context.
Tumblr in this dream probably has some really bad “friendly reminders” that Christianity destroyed the TRUE Garfields and stripped them of their status as fertility gods or some shit.
(Other ideas presented by this dream: Garfield is one of the stock characters in Commedia dell'art and/or kyogen theatre.)
