Garfi represents the internet's surreal and often 'cursed' interpretation of the classic comic strip character Garfield. Moving away from the polished newspaper aesthetic, Garfi memes typically feature low-resolution, MS Paint-style, or heavily distorted versions of the lasagna-loving cat. This variation gained traction within weird internet subcultures where intentional misspelling, like 'lasaga,' and existential dread are common themes. It subverts the wholesome family-friendly nature of the original character, turning the cat's disdain for Mondays into a deeper, more absurd commentary on modern life and internet irony.
