This shirt represents the pre-culinary “attitude era” of coffee’s popular western consciousness. The implied threat is sarcastic but even still, a worldview emerges. “Give Me Coffee”, the cat insists, “And No One Gets Hurt.” .
..
This long sleeve Garfield colorblock bears a 1978 copywrite but that’s simply when the strip was drawn—back when Jim Davis actually drew and wrote “Garfield”, and before the strip and its attendant licensing and marketing expanded to a team of hundreds. In the 1980s and early 90s Garfield rivaled Disney and Looney Tunes in terms of popularity. It is the second most lucrative comic of all time, bested only by Charles Schultz’s “Peanuts” but unlike these other cartoon worlds “Garfield” has little purchase on modernity. There is no dedicated “Garfield” theme park, no beloved “Garfield” holiday special or creation myth documentary. He has been left behind in the 20th Century. He is now vintage. .
..
We date this shirt to the late 1980s. It’s a most comfy XL in teal, black, purple, and iconic Garfield orange.
