Grumpy Cat vs Grumpy Cat

Garfield Vs. Grumpy Cat

I’d be surprised if this cartoon hasn’t been done by someone but I purposefully didn’t look so it wouldn’t impact my vision.  For the unaware, the “grumpy cat” on the left is the original grumpy one – Garfield the Cat.   The unsuspecting feline is the internet meme sensation Grumpy Cat.

I would think I might have issues with someone else taking my gig too.  Now I need to figure out what that gig is.

    That’s funny. I was JUST thinking about the grumpy cat image today and how I’ve noticed it’s popped up everywhere. What I was really wondering is who’s cat it is and if there are royalties involved.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Not sure. Maybe the guy I linked to in the post is the originator but you can never tell.

    You so need a feature image for this one. I cannot Pin it. 🙁

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks try it now. That is the issue. It used to set the first image as the featured image. Wonder if I need to go back and reset it for all my posts.

      Another reason for me to redesign my site.

    I’m the only one on the planet who hadn’t heard of ‘Grumpy Cat’. Go figure.
    If I were Garfield I’d be careful. Looks like G.C. might be the type to carry around a sock full of batteries.

      Someone who watches Wes Anderson movies probably has no idea what goes on in pop culture references.

    Even I’ve heard of Grumpy Cat and I’m older than dirt. Way cool. I love Garfield.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    Garfield is about to treat Grumpy Cat 2 like he was a Monday!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Good thing I picked the right day to post

    I am a fan of both grumpy kitties! I tend to mimic their disposition on many days…

      Faythe, remind me not to get on your bad side..haha

    I haven’t heard of grumpy cat either. Maybe he could have a cat-off with Garfield.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Not many cats in Wombania?

      1. Binky Avatar

        There’s Zoe, but she’s camera shy. Or maybe just afraid of us.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Well get her out front and center

    I recognize Garfield (takes me back to our kids toys and books) but I don’t follow internet cats much and the other one is new to me. The new cat on the block looks too much like a dog.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Grumpy cat seems to be all over FB and G+ in different memes

  9. duncanr Avatar

    First time I’ve seen this new grumpy cat. Guess I’m not as ‘with it’ as I thought !

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Maybe because you are a dog person

    Grumpen it up old school!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That’s how I roll.

    Aren’t all the cats a lil Grumpy..they are they are 😉
    but haven’t heard of this new one and after reading your write up i looked for it and it was everywhere.
    i suspect its an alien Grumpy to destroy Garfield’s regime.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No the alien grumpy is ALF and he hates cats.

  12. Waterproof Stickers Avatar

    Yeah, Its Funny. I have seen that cat in the cartoon news papers with other some funny characters.

  13. frigginloon Avatar

    OMG, that was way too funny.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      What do you expect from me?

  14. Valentine Logar Avatar

    Funny, poor Garfield losing fans to Grumpy. Can’t really blame him for his actions.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Blame the victim huh? haha

  15. Bo LUMPKIN Avatar

    Even I have heard of Grumpy cat. He’s evwrywhere. He gets reposted as much as Maxine.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      And passed around more than a hollywood starlet

    2. duncanr Avatar

      who’s maxine ? 😳

        1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

          You started all this. Now you have to tell him who Maxine is.

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Maxine is the old biddy on the Hallmark cards

    Would love to see a movie made out of this 5-star plot 😀

    1. Bearman Avatar

      It would be a new after school special.

  17. Rent Textbooks Avatar

    That is awesome I never even thought about that.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That’s what I do. Go for the obvious joke you haven’t thought of.

    Grumpy cat #2 is a munchkin Siamese mix cat. her Real name is “tartar sauce” but they just call her tard. she was a kitten when that first video was uploaded and has done numerous commercial spots since becoming an internet meme. She has a brother who looks like he’s a jackass. The cats belong to a family that live in Tucson Arizona.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      A jackass? Wonder who Tartar sauce’s mom was hanging around with. haha

  19. Jack of Gulls Comic Avatar

    This is awesome. First time Garfield’s been funny in decades. Jim Davis needs to hang it up.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      awww…I have a sweet spot for the old grumpy one….

      1. Jack of Gulls Comic Avatar

        Garfield is one of my all time favorites. I grew up on the cartoon but his time has passed. 9 lives are up!

        1. Bearman Avatar

          haha…not if he can still bring in the (pizza) dough

    I love this Bearman!

    Somebody’s gonna really hate this Monday.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Probably me…

    The owners of the Grumpy the Cat (aka Tartar Sauce) have a blog on Tumblr as well as a nifty store.

    The link is http://www.grumpycats.com

    And the quote on the header is “I had fun once, it was awful”.

    And Garfield is seriously old school, and wasn’t really a grump.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Extreme laziness manifests as grumpiness

  23. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

    What the heck is a meme? I keep reading that word everywhere.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      It’s all those pictures of people or stars and they keep putting funny messages and other’s pic it up and they put their own message.

      Here is an example http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lonely-computer-guy-net-noob

      1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

        Okay then, I don’t write comics most of the time. I write memes. 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

          You write memes in comic format

          1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

            I’m more inventive than I ever thought.

    Three strikes and the new grumpy cat will be OUT!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      He has 6 more lives

    2. Tony McGurk Avatar

      I think Grumpy Cat Mk2 deserves more than 3 strikes. He has earned it. Then overdose him on Lasagne Garfield.
      Go Garfield, Go Garfield, Gooooooo Garfield!!!

  25. Deb Avatar

    I never heard of grumpy cat till now. But now when I think of it…I’ll remember your version.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Good I like that.

  26. Tony McGurk Avatar

    Grumpy Cat seems grumpier than Garfield. I wonder what Grumpy Cat would do to Odie?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      He would be like Odie who?

  27. Jason Salas Avatar

    Grumpy Cat’s going to get the Grumpy Bat.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Oh yeah he is

  28. Jande Avatar

    Well drawn, Bearman! Both are immediately recognisable. :`)

    Frankly I’ve never been able to fathom what people find attractive or even funny in Garfield. The Grumpy Cat however is very funny. :`D

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think Garfield appeals to the younger me. Easy to read and get the humor.

  29. drFaust Avatar

    my money is on Garfield, he’s badass

    1. Tony McGurk Avatar

      Odie says: “….”

      1. Bearman Avatar

        I think Odie always has peanut butter in his mouth and that is why he doesn’t talk.

  30. Tim Green Avatar

    At least he’s not mailing him to Abu Dali like he did with Nermal. (Yes I was a huge Garfield fan in the 80’s). 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      haha I forgot about Nermal

  31. Japanese Ghost Avatar

    I never knew that Garfield was violent. I use to watch the cartoons back in the day. I remember Pee-wee Herman and Hey Vern, It’s Ernest! (Ernest only last one season… It seemed like it never ended).

    Great times.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I remember the Ernest movies but not a tv show.

      1. Japanese Ghost Avatar

        I believe CBS. You weren’t missing much…

  32. Tony McGurk Avatar

    Odie’s reply is “….”

  33. Gray Dawster Avatar

    Definitely a couple of grumps for sure 🙂 lol
    I think the Garfield one edges it but then the
    other one looks incredibly grumpy too 🙁 lol

    Have a wickedly enjoyable Monday Bearman and keep
    adding to your uniqueness my fine friend 🙂 🙂

  34. DadaHyena Avatar

    Save your effort, Garfield. Grumpy Cat’s fifteen minutes are nearing their end, and Garfield, last I checked, is still alive and well on tons of merchandise.

    Go vent your frustration by kicking Odie off the table.

  35. Tyler Avatar

    I think this all means that we need to spray Grumpy Cat orange and make a Garfield movie.
