Garfield - changed over the years?

it seems like garfield used to be more bitter back ago, but now he's gotten a more "cute" image, am i right about this?
i mean, in the very beginning, he was this incredible fat and bitter cat, then he stayed bitter, but changed appearence to a less "realistic cat", and then after that, he seems to have not only been "shaped up" more in appearence, but also lost alote of the bitterness. does he even threaten and beat up Jon anymore? i think that used to be one of the funniest bits.


i think i'll settle myself in a guest room,
couse i can't live like others do,
and i'm not fit to have a regular home,
i know i can't make it on my own,
so i'm packing a bag,
picking upp an add,
and walk my shoes,
untill i put myself in a guest room,
just a few things are all i need,
no need to have flowers to put on my window sill,
just someone to cook and clean up after me,
i promise i won't cause any trouble in this company,
i'm not gonna run anymore,
i'm shutting this door,
diffrent rooms i've lived in my life,
but now i think its the time,
to find somewhere to settle down,
i might as well chose this old town,
maybe my old funny buddy can come see me sometime,
i'm here with all new furnitors now,
yeah, that's what i'll do,
i'll move myself into a guest room.
