Garfield Minus Garfield Plus Pikachu: Part 7 "Conclusion"

For the past week, Pikachu has been living with John Arbuckle in a groundbreaking crossover. Pikachu has tormented John, shocking him, feeding him Garfield and continually dosing him with illegal drugs to the point of psychosis. Now witness the disappointingly low key conclusion.

Garfield Minus Garfield Plus Pikachu: Part 6 "Penultimatum"

I don't feel that today's PikaPokeBlog instalment requires any introduction, except to say that its the penultimate instalment of the Garfield Invasion:

Garfield Minus Garfield Plus Pikachu: Part 5 "John's starting to Crack"

Today's instalment looks at the serious subject of drug addiction, specifically the effects of 'crack'.

Crack cocaine is popularly thought to be the most addictive form of cocaine, and one of the most addictive forms of any drug. However, this claim has been contested: Morgan and Zimmer wrote that available data indicated that "...smoking cocaine by itself does not increase markedly the likelihood of dependence.... The claim that cocaine is much more addictive when smoked must be reexamined." They argued that cocaine users who are already prone to abuse are most likely to "move toward a more efficient mode of ingestion" (that is, smoking).

The intense desire to recapture the initial high is what is so addictive for many users. On the other hand, Reinarman et al. wrote that the nature of crack addiction depends on the social context in which it is used and the psychological characteristics of users, pointing out that many heavy crack users go for days or weeks without using the drugs. For more information on crack, consult your local library or drug dealer.

There's been a lot of hurtful and untrue things said this week (by Imogen). But today's PikaPokeBlog update is largely inoffensive, just good old fashioned slapstick. If there were a real life, kid friendly, John Arbuckle and Pikachu crossover comic, I think this could be an episode. I challenge anyone to get personally offended by John Arbuckle getting mildly electrocuted in the bath!

Hi, have you read Imogen 'all talk' Clarke's latest blog update? No? I don't blame you, its very long, and makes no real point at all, just some unprovable allegations about my motives and motifs. I'll save you the time, Imogen is scared AND confused by the recent change in direction that the PikaPokeBlog has taken. Observe below:
