A theory on what Galactus looks like. Propounded in John Byrne’s Fantastic Four #262, 1984; follow-through from Ryan North and Erica Henderson’s Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #4, 2015.

[Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #4]
I have waited all my life to see Galactus canonically call Thanos a tool.
If you’re not reading Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, what are you even doing???
the greatest thing ever to appear in comics.
I laughed for like six minutes. Everyone else in the Noodles and Company stared.
And you can read all about it in that Entertainment Weekly article I just linked to! I’m super excited for this, and so stoked he was able to come on board. The issue - #26, out next month - is about Doreen making all her superpowered friends write comics for a zine she’s pulling together. And Jim Davis is making Galactus’s OWN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL COMICS come to life.
Here’s an excerpt from the article!
“When you look at the Silver Surfer, he’s 75 percent of the way there anyway with Jon, all we had to do is give him the big eyes. That was a natural. John kind of hangs around Garfield anyway, he’s the straight man to Garfield’s gags and has to get him food. He’s like Garfield’s herald. Galactus was tougher. We were throwing stuff back and forth, and the initial sketches just weren’t working for Galactus. I said okay, we gotta make him fat. The guy eats planets, for god’s sake! Once we do that, it’s a little less Galactus but certainly a lot more Garfield. It looked more natural. Obviously, Galactus has put on a few mega-tons for this strip.”
You can read the whole thing here, and included are some sneak peeks at but some of the GALACTUS COMICS we made, as well as unlettered Kraven art from Michael Cho, Spider-Man comics by @rahzzah, Tippy art by Rico Renzi (our colourist!), and Howard art by @zdarsky, whose story is written by @ericafailsatlife (our artist!)! It’s going to be a RIDICULOUSLY FUN ISSUE and I can’t wait for y’all to read it. Thank you Jim for being down for this and thank you all for supporting the book so much that we get to do crazy things like this!!
OH MY GOD

The first thing that came to mind when I was given the solicit text was the “FIGHT!” graphic from Street Fighter, which then reminded me that Marvel’s already got a sweet fighting game that already includes Galactus (in the third one, at least).
My twitter followers may remember a week when I was just freaking out about how good the art, character design and pixel work in Marvel vs Capcom 1 is. Well, now you know why I was studying it so hard. Also, thanks to Hub Comics for letting me peruse the Marvel vs Capcom artbook.
THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL #2 RYAN NORTH (W) • ERICA HENDERSON (A/C) Variant cover by JOE QUINONES • Starting college is hard enough, but now Squirrel Girl has to deal with Galactus too? • The fate of the entire planet hangs in the balance, and only Squirrel Girl can save it! • Also, her squirrel friend Tippy Toe.

The artist explains his contribution to upcoming Squirrel Girl zine issue

——————————————————————————————-
it’s genuinely just a straight up garfield strip
there’s zero difference
He has a certain set of skills.
i mean let’s be clear here, this is exactly what he was hired for, this is actually the joke
It’d better help to achieve clearness if the headline link at the top didn’t, well, lie. Click through, and it says “drew” instead of “wrote,” and the article itself goes on to explain that Ryan North wrote the material for Jim Davis and his team to draw.
And, yes, that Galactus is just Garfield is entirely the point of the exercise.
Hey hey hey! We weren’t able to answer any of the many people asking us if Squirrel Girl would be back or if we’d be on it, but yes! Same team! Same Squirrel Girl! NEW ISSUE 1.
