I've had several conversations about the cat and I can always count on "Nermal's a boy?" even from those who have not watched the show.<BR/><BR/>Also, what was Nermal's story? I seem to remember he would just 'show up.' Jon would say something like, 'Oh, Nermal's here,' so that the punchline could be that Garfield is upset somehow, but how did Nermal get there? Are they just a cat-borrowing group of people?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25616076.post-1164087372446729862006-11-20T21:36:00.000-08:002006-11-20T21:36:00.000-08:00I find Garf's response really sad, because it's so...I find Garf's response really sad, because it's so bitter. Deep inside, Garfield longs too for the "mystery" of women, but doesn't want the messiness that comes with that mystery. It gets Freud-ey quick.<BR/><BR/>On a vaguely related note, is it possible to have spent one's childhood watching Garfield and Friends, and not intuitively think of Nermal as female?Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14658082165996004912noreply@blogger.com
