Somebody added 19 citations of Garfield's gender on the Garfield Wikipedia talk page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Garfield_(character)#Gender …pic.twitter.com/uAIMUZ3ygL

If any legitimate journals, such as Harper's or Utne Reader, would like to contact me about the Garfield gender controversy, my DMs are openpic.twitter.com/81p6IlHY0n

Friends, I have an update on the Garfield gender controversy that probably won't sit well with many of you.
-
Washington Post conducted an investigation, and, well, I won't bury the lede here: Jim Davis said Garfield is male.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2017/03/01/is-garfield-a-boy-how-a-cartoon-cats-gender-identity-sparked-a-war-on-wikipedia/ …

I would like to thank
@aviselk,@comicriffs for conducting a thorough and fair investigation. I think their publication has a bright future. -
Friends, we should not view the Garfield gender ruling as a loss. We should view it as a victory for what matters most: Canon.
-
There are some who will want to continue this fight by pointing to the contradiction in Jim Davis' statements, alleging a canon paradox.
-
That is the wrong reaction. Throughout this past week I have steadfastly maintained that Jim Davis is the final authority on Garfield canon.
-
Even when we do not like it we must defer to Jim Davis' statements, which, along with the comic strips, constitute JD-CANON, and are gospel.
-
Now is the time for all of us to come together so we may move forward in the interests of Garfield canon.
-
There will be more fights over Garfield canon ahead of us. So take heart that tomorrow is a new day, and it's not a Monday.
-
Thank you all for walking this journey with me. I am moving to the forest now.

.@modkodkod First off, FIRST OFF, Bart Simpson is voiced by Nancy Cartwright. Does that make Bart a 59-year-old woman? (1/?)
-
.@modkodkod Second off, I can't believe I need to say these words in 20-freaking-17, but Garfield's Pet Force IS NOT CANON. FULL STOp. (2/?)

.@modkodkod THIRD, if pronouns matter so much to you, then here's Garfield self-referring as "she." (3/?)pic.twitter.com/MjQMcDrmhs
