April’s Character of the Month – Garfield!![]() Watchability ![]() Garfield is a comic strip created by Jim Davis, featuring the cat Garfield, the pet dog Odie, and their owner Jon Arbuckle. The popularity of the strip has led to an animated cartoon show, several television specials and two films. Educational Correct me if I am wrong but I don’t think this one actually taught us a lot! Garfield was sarcastic cat, kicked dogs, hated Monday’s, ate, drank and slept! We don’t need to be taught to do that haha, but still it was entertaining. Moral Value Again, Garfield didn’t have many morals, he looked out for #1 Visual Appeal The animation was basic, but colourful. Fond Memories
I think everyone has seen or read Garfield, and I think everyone loves it, children and adults alike. Overall Did you know... In Shrek 2 the character Puss in Boots utters Garfield's famous line, "I hate Mondays," when at a bar. In one of the Garfield strips, Jon is at a high-school reunion. He talks to a man named Gary Barker, Gary Barker is Jim Davis' assistant that draws the blue-pencil products before they are inked and lettered. Jim Davis drew himself into the comic strip for Garfield's tenth birthday on June 19, 1988. He appears in the title block between Jon and Irma. The final block carries a message at the bottom which reads: HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, BUDDY, JIM DAVIS. |

Garfield's my hero
My MSN says "When the lasagne content in my blood gets low, I get mean." He was too superior to need morales. :lol: |

Being mean might be justified if you are as clever as Garfield...its not mean just superiority

I must admit that I never got anything about Garfield. I just didn't get what was so good. In his defence though, he certainly had his influence on the 80s; I remember not being able to walk down the street without seeing these things in people's car windows:
