Jon here personifies my post-holiday bank account and nerved-up trauma back in the days when I used to actually pay attention to holidays.  

I’m serious.  We don’t do holidays anymore, just post stuff online.  We visit the relatives when they get together.  We mostly don’t give presents in our mass family get-togethers, though.  Much food and laughs, no waste of money or energy (except for the food prep, serving, and cleanup, of course).  

Viacom is in the process of acquiring Paws, Inc., holders of Garfield and U.S. Acres intellectual property rights, for its Nickelodeon portfolio. Nickelodeon plans to develop a new Garfield animated TV series with Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products handling merchandising rights. Creator Jim Davis will continue to produce the comic strip. 

Said Davis, “I’ve always tried to make people laugh with humor that is classic and appealing to both kids and adults. I’m delighted that Garfield is going to be placed in the capable hands of the folks at Nick. They know how to entertain and will be great stewards for the franchise. I am also excited to continue to do the thing that gets me out of bed every morning…the comic strip!” (Nickelodeon)
