Jon, take me with yooou~!
Jon, Take Me With You
is a fan animation based on the long-running comic series Garfield, made by the user Jacadamia in December of 2023.The following tropes should be taken with you:
- Adapted Out: Odie himself does not appear within the video, despite being an important character in the Garfield franchise. Though justified given the video itself is more focused on Garfield.
- Affectionate Parody: Ultimately, the video itself is more as a love letter to the original comic strip, showing a more somber side of Garfield than what the original strip would show.
- Bathos: While the song itself is somber (mainly about escapism and moving on), the juxtaposition of more depressing themes with Garfield simply wanting to go with Jon on a date is pretty hilarious.
- Easter Egg: A portrait of the author's avatar/OC can be seen in a portrait in one scene.
- Lighter and Softer: Meta-example. As compared to many Garfield fan works (often depicting more violent or Lovecraftian versions of the original Garfield strip), Take Me With You is more lighthearted in tone with a more down-to-earth depiction of Garfield.
- Mythology Gag: Both the outfit Jon and Liz wears are based on actual outfits worn both in Garfield & Friends and the original comics respectively.
- Shout-Out: One main one being JW Francis, whose song was the main inspiration behind the animation.
