Garfield’s Back—with a Bellyful of Laughs!
What are calories to a cat? For Garfield, they''re a delicious way
of life. But what do you expect from a feline who is able to eat
tall lasagnas in a single gulp? So whether he''s chaperoning Jon on
a date, sleeping''til noon, or tormenting the odiously lovable Odie,
Garfield will never miss his next meal—or the chance to make us
laugh!
The Garfield Classics series collects the early years of the
Garfield comic strips in a larger, full-color format. Garfield may
have gone through a few changes, but one thing has stayed the same:
his enormous appetite for food and fun. So laugh along with the
classic cat, because classics are always in style.
