This user here is a treasure trove of weird video.

What the FUCK is with RedBubble's new fees for artists???! Absolutely mad. Probably going to delete my shop.

rubs eyes Gosh I sure hope that Cohost adds more features to help people with PTSD soon cause let me tell you, relying on people tagging their shit properly has failed me many times.

EDIT: mystery solved!! it WAS this comic, from march 27th, 1982. the attached image is a FAN EDIT of that comic on the site square root of minus garfield, where it seems like "fench" vs. "fence" may be a very minor in-joke. so i was right all along! now the only question is "why did jim davis use fench in this one instance?" the world may never know. thanks @mintexists for pointing me in the right direction.

EDIT 2: it was just a spelling error and was edited out in later releases.

thinking about a garfield comic i read when i was a kid that used the word "fench" as a synonym for fence. i remember my parents saying it wasn't uncommon but upon a cursory google search it appears this word has no meaning whatsoever.

also upon google searching for "garfield singing on fence comic" i came across the attached comic which i feel like is the one i'm thinking of but it uses fence! but i don't think i made this up because i remember noticing it every single time i read it in the compilation book. i must solve this mystery at some point
