Gothfield is a fan-created reimagining of Jim Davis's Garfield, blending the cat's cynical attitude with gothic subculture aesthetics. It gained significant traction on platforms like Tumblr and Twitter, where artists began drawing Garfield with black fur, heavy eyeliner, fishnets, and spiked collars. Unlike the original lasagna-loving feline who simply hates Mondays, Gothfield embodies existential dread, alternative music tastes like Joy Division, and a more profound sense of melancholy. It serves as a stylized parody of both the corporate comic strip and the 'doomer' mentality, often used to express relatable feelings of social alienation or a love for the macabre through a nostalgic lens.
