But aside of that, the comic-strip and animated TV stuffs didn't make these creations at loud, grating or obnoxious. No mention Garfield is not always the self-centered, faux-philosopher and grouchy thing that fans love to argue about.
There was a time, before the early-00s, that characters, TV series, animated features et all getting a new life out of their respective mediums, by be seen on any merchandising. There were many: Coffee mugs, board games, videogames, toys, off-model stuffed plushies, greetings cards, but unfortunately, several creators out there fully hate to seen their hard work to be in merch. Sounds like some hatred social commentary about consumerism, but by the 00s, most of the TV cartoons and heck, animated features been so terrible, that many forums about 'toons came in life with the same ranting about executives and such, that for most corporations, there is no points to sells the newer characters to merchandising directly to consumers. The last time they'll dare to do it was from the Spongebob Squarepants craze... back in the early-to-mid 00s!
Yeah, the newer shows gotten a strong following here and there, but it's not in the shippings or fan-arts that it helps those companies to pay their bills. Only views, online or otherwise and, yeah, merchandising could afford these. Newer animated productions have to be audacious and strong enough for be able to catter a new life in merchandising, even by all these fans ramblings and complains.
In all my life, I never seen the shows like Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, Kim Possible or so, Fairly Oddparents or Braceface to figure toys, puzzles, boardgames, videogames, posters, but why this snubbery from fans about seen the shows you love on merch?
The Hanna-Barbera studio have spending tons of dollards onto not only creating the newer TV stars every year, but to be largely inclined these to commerces as well. In the 1960s, TVs and merchs in cartoons were very hot things. But things went by, and by the 1970s/80s, parenting groups and a newer era of creators were soured by the Toy-tic attitude of the shows they were worked in. By the 1990s, a Renaissance-era in animation has brought a new life to the creators-driven, anarchic and free-wheeling humor that was missed on the past three decades and more, but by the 00s, that was a very "dork" age... when most of times, characters been talkier and louder, as if the many Toy-tic Anime of that time weren't so a problem.
Most of times, fans don't comprehend that merchandising appear for a reason: It is often the only way to make searching a revenue to the owners of the stuffs they care and love. By dint to just showing dimsay to the executives, corporations and others market laws, we have stop to seen shows that were able to be relevant to all audience by giving in newer directions from stuffed toys to adapting books. Bluey is currently the kids' property all the rivals shows have to fight for. Because they known exactly what the childrens of our era want to seen on a TV show like this one.
We have to stop blaming Jim Davis to make Garfield onto any murky merchandising, if most of times, the merchandising of cartoons before the CAPS era were so bad and off-model, at a point it's hard to known if this is the same character we'll looking on TV or a fan-made alien thing. Like, why is in some toys of old, the Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear designs turned out on awkward colors even if they were shown first on TV on black-and-white?
