      So, I guess Mike Pence is actually a big fan of newspaper cartoons and even made some. I found a WaPo article about his law school comics but it's paywalled

    Jim Davis was born in Marion, Indiana and grew up in neighboring Fairfield, Indiana. In "honor" of his artistic creation, there's a series of around 11 Garfield statues around Grant County known as the Garfield Trail.

    Marion is classic Midwestern Rustbelt; a poverty-striken, gray overcast, hopeless pit of a town; a place where the jobs left a long time ago. Signs simply declaring "Marion Sucks" were hanging in some of the townsfolk's windows.

    In a gated park behind the chamber of commerce was the Garfield Statue "Paws for Thought" -- "we've had problems with residents vandalizing the statue, throwing rocks at it," said the lady from the chamber of commerce as she unlocked the gate.

    Since our visit in 2018, "Paws for Thought" has since been removed from the offical Grant County Garfield Trail. Revisionist history.

    Jim Davis has a net worth of $800 million dollars.

    If I didn't know Mike Pence was such a piece of shit this would make me kinda like him. Sure, it's hokey and a total waste of time and Garfield is terrible, but it's kinda nice. Like, replace Mike Pence with Amy Poehler and this would all be downright adorable.
