Garfield is a comic strip created by Jim Davis, featuring the cat Garfield, the pet dog Odie, and their socially inept owner Jon Arbuckle. As of 2006, it is syndicated in roughly 2,570 newspapers and journals and it currently holds the Guinness World Record for being the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip.[1] The popularity of the strip has led to an animated cartoon show, several animated television specials and two feature-length live-action films, as well as a large amount of Garfield-related merchandise.
Garfield is the central character. He is a lazy, overweight, orange tabby cat who enjoys eating and sleeping. He hates Mondays (Especially Monday The 13th) due to his consistent streak of bad luck on them. He hates diets. (die with a "T") He also hates February and calls it "The Monday of the year" and considers himself to be more intelligent than humans, dogs, or other animals. He is afraid of spiders, although sometimes he communicates with them. Garfield was born in the kitchen of Mama Leone's Italian Restaurant and developed a taste for lasagna the day he was born. Ever since then, it has always been his favorite food. As a kitten, he fit in a tiny bed and only weighed eight ounces, surprisingly. Later in his life, Garfield runs across his Mother again one Christmas Eve, accidentally, and meets his Grandfather for the first time. According to the TV special Garfield Gets a Life, in the end of the episode, Jon’s car is shown driving away and his vehicle registration plate says Indiana on it, indicating that Garfield lives in Indiana. Jim Davis added this in possibly because he is from Indiana. In his cartoon appearances, Garfield usually causes mischief in every episode. In June 1983, comic strips introduced Garfield's alter-ego, Amoeba Man, yet he was only shown in 6 strips (6-20 through 6-25). Amoeba Man is only one of his few imaginary alter egos though. The Caped Avenger is one of the more common ones. It was revealed on 01 July, 1983 that he doesn’t like raisins.[7] It has also been implied that they are his least favorite food in a comic strip where Garfield saves time by instead of making a list of things he wants for his birthday, he made a list of things he doesn’t want. The only thing on the list was raisins. His birthday is June 19, 1978.[8][9][10]
