Garfield
He's a wisecracking, nap-taking, coffee-guzzling, lasagna-loving, Monday-hating, dog-punting, spider-whacking, mailman-mauling fat cat. He's Garfield...the world's funniest feline!
Born in the kitchen of Mama Leone's Italian restaurant in 1978, Garfield has grown into a worldwide (and we do mean wide) celebrity. His antics with his feckless owner, Jon Arbuckle, his drooling doggy pal, Odie, and his beloved teddy bear, pooky , bring laughter to millions daily.
But what's so appealing about a tubby tabby with a rude attitude? What makes Garfield so lovable? It's simple...people relate to him because he is them. "He's a human in a cat suit," as creator Jim Davis likes to say. Garfield loves TV and hates Mondays. He'd rather pig out than work out; in fact, his passion for food and sleep is matched only by his aversion to diet and exercise (he prefers lay-downs to sit-ups). He'd like mornings better if they started later. Coffee ("Strong enough to sit up and bark") is the only way to start the day. What could be more human?
