Garfield Sits Around the House by Jim Davis is a collection of Garfield comic strips. Garfield became very popular in the late-1970s and continues on today, although the character now looks a little different. It is seen daily in thousands of newspapers and enjoyed by millions worldwide. Garfield is a quirky cat that is quite fat, lazy and loves his lasagna. He loves to pick on Odie, the dog, and give Jon a hard time. He hates diets and loves food...any type of food.

 

Review

Garfield can make me smile when I am reading about that darned, fat cat. Always hungry, and with his mischievous attitude, Garfield always finds himself getting into trouble in one way or the other. This lasagna-eating cat loves to pick on Odie, the dog, and Jon, his human. Is Jon really Garfield's owner? Well, Jon may think so, but I'll bet Garfield has his own ideas about that one.

Jim Davis celebrates Garfield's fourth birthday in Garfield Sits Around the House.
