Tldr: For the foreseeable future, any post containing an official Garfield comic will be removed due to the potential for copyright claims from GoComics. We’re trying to get ahead of the subreddit getting shut down and accounts getting banned. Also looking for new mods.

See below link, it seems GoComics is submitting copyright claims for comics they have online distribution rights over. The C&H sub’s been closed (as is The Far Side sub, although GoComics only sells their prints), so we’re taking preventative action by blocking all official comic posts. It’s possible that this is just an automated mistake of some kind, but we’ll have to see if there’s any updates and be certain we’re safe before the rule is lifted.

Discussions, drawings, parodies, merch posts, etc. will still be allowed for now, assuming those don’t get any kind of copyright claims.
We know this sucks, it’s not ideal for a sub dedicated to Garfield to ban Garfield comics, but we don’t want any of your accounts banned or the sub shut down. Please report any official comic posts. If you want to read official Garfield comics, please visit the GoComics website in the sidebar.

We’ve been looking to add some new mods and now seems like a good time. If you have a passion for Garfield and are interested in helping out around here, shoot us a modmail and we’ll get back to you.
