I think I vaguely remember an episode where odie talked and the first thing they made him do was file John’s taxes (this happened in the 3D Garfield show)
When it comes to Odie, I can best describe him as the original Ferb, where they don't really need words to convey what they mean. It's like what Red says in Pokémon Masters "Words are unnecessary."
@@Catland2914 Hey!!!!!!! Dogs 🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🐩 are not creepy. I just feel that dogs 🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🐩 are sooooo much fun and cooler than cats 🐱🐈. But I do find it gorgeous 🥰😍❤ and cute when women 👩 know how to look good in a cat 🐱🐈 costume on Halloween 🎃.
In one episode of the old TV show didn't the cats use a machine to dampen his intelligence in order to prevent him from ruining their plan for world domination since he was the only one that found out about it? I remember that. So the cats did it.
In the 3D animated direct to dvd movies he can talk a little bit, but the continuity is a little weird there as Jon can understand exactly what Garfield is saying
I think it’s because, that one scene when the cat villain tried talking to humans, and all they heard was “meow”, I think odie was supposed to be a clue to what humans really hear, it’s not that he can’t talk, because obviously Garfield understands him, it’s just they wanted to show us that the animals appear to be barking or meowing and what better way to show it, than taking the “sidekick” and making them “not talk”.
Odie was also smart in the 3D Garfield movies like Garfield's Fun Fest when he needed to be. He solved those riddles during the journey. Odie is smarter than we give him credit for.
There was an episode of Garfield and Friends called "Mistakes Will Happen", where Garfield and Odie watch the titular episode in response to letters they've received from viewers saying they spotted mistakes on the show. The episode is ripe with both animation and dialogue errors, all done on purpose. At one point, Garfield asks Odie, "Can you believe Pete trying to scare us like that?", to which Odie tells him, "I don't know, I'm kind of scared."
There's actually an old Garfield comic strip dating back to 6-15-1980, and featured in the fourth collection book "Garfield Weighs In" where Odie briefly says something in a thought balloon. Said comic is so old, it features the mysteriously disappeared Lyman, Jon's room-mate, and Odie's original owner.
In fact, in the movie, they show us that the animals aren't able to speak like humans, but in this cartoonish world, humans seems to be aware of the intelligence of some animals, and that's why someone created an app that's able to translate some of the common animals when they speak, such as cats and dogs (or just for the laughs, but it works, so it doesn't matter). Edit: Why did I write this in Spanish is beyond me 😂 Sorry for that.
Yeah he even could tell the differences of both brushes in one episode of the garfield show when garfield got a new brush that was exactly like the old one so odie would forget about the old one but odie knew
Uhm you know that Garfield doesn’t technically talk either while he does talk to the audience and to Odie and other animal characters his owner (I forgot his name) along with other human characters can’t understand him all they hears is meow meow meow Also in the movie the evil cat was talking to a person on the phone and the person on the phone only heard meow meow soooo maybe only animals can understand other animals and humans aren’t smart enough to understand the language of the dog or cat.
I thought it was a thought bubble too until i saw the previous strip with Garfield saying "im hungry with a thought bubble too" im a little curious if Garfield is speaking at all.
There's a difference between thinking and talking in a comic It's called thought bubbles and word bubbles In that case word bubbles can be understood by everyone and the reader, while thought bubbles can only be understood by the animals and the reader and nobody else
