Garfield was never meant to be an amazing strip, Jim Davis has said he just wanted to create a comic strip that would make him rich, and it succeeded at that goal. Older Garfield still has its moments though, as @ObtuseDoorFrame@lemm.ee noticed:

Since then, I've noticed the laziness too in the newer strips, like this one that's 3 identical panels:
And I was just copying it from the alt text on the original image π The quality of the alt text has not been great, but worth posting IMO. One of Wednesday's strips wouldn't have really made sense without it, since they removed the text in the drawing for some reason:
Eternal hemorrhoids would explain why so many ghosts are so angry all the time. I'd be throwing chairs across the room too if I were stuck with that
Money doesn't buy happiness, but lack of money is a roadblock to happiness
Yeah, we're right in the middle of the main arc that will conclude in a little while. It looks like he hasn't come back into the strip yet since the end of this arc, though some of the characters introduced still show up frequently.
I use DAVxβ΅ too. It's good for stuff like syncing with Google calendar on a degoogled phone, like if you work at a place that uses gcal. Very different than decsync/EteSync from what I understand.
It probably helps that it's a manual process. When I ingest stuff into Immich, I make sure that everything is synced properly first. I don't have anything fancy with like ingesting and then deleting photos automatically, I definitely wouldn't trust that. Hopefully Immich declares their photo syncing stable soon and I can switch to that.
My guess is that they edited the original to be a blank template for adding localized text onto, and forgot to add back the English titles. No idea if that's actually the case, it's just the only reason I can think of for editing the titles at all. They have edited some of the comics before to update small details
Thanks for doing the math! Submitted your comment over to !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world: https://discuss.online/post/18612024
Are they too high for the era?
You're actually thinking of a different but similar comic:
Kind of feels like the same joke TBH
