Experience twenty-five years of the furry phenomenon known as
Garfield with this fun, in-depth, and lavishly illustrated
book.
Jim Davis''s grandfather, James A. Garfield Davis, was a big,
cantankerous, outspoken man. Garfield is a big, cantankerous,
outspoken cat. Coincidence? Of course not. The cartoon
affectionately modeled on his grandfather has propelled creator Jim
Davis–and Garfield–into the realm of comic superstardom. In this
book, you''ll get a unique look back at the humble beginnings and
enormous success of America''s favorite feline.
In Dog Years I''d Be Dead takes a comprehensive look at everything
Garfield– the comics, the television shows, the zillions of
products who on the planet hasn''t seen the grinning plush doll
suction-cupped to a car window?,and, of course, the fans. You''ll
get the inside scoop about the pioneering comic-strip books that
set the standard for the industry with a shape now called the
"Garfield format." You''ll venture into the studio where the voice
talent recorded TV shows, and hear about the antics of special
guest stars like Jonathan Winters and Buddy Hackett. Loaded with
never-before-seen archival gems from Jim Davis''s personal
collection and tribute cartoons from legends like Beetle Bailey''s
Mort Walker, Blondie''s Dean Young, and The Family Circus''s Bill
Keane, this is a book to treasure.
