Garfield's World: Special Issues, Characters, & More!
Is there any cartoon character more universally relatable than a cat who embodies laziness, loves to eat, and possesses a sharp wit? The answer is simple: Garfield, the fat cat, has captured the hearts of generations, solidifying his status as a pop culture icon. From his iconic comic strip debut to animated television specials and blockbuster movies, Garfield's sardonic charm continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
It all began on June 19, 1978, when Garfield swaggered onto the pages of 41 American newspapers. Created by Jim Davis, this rotund feline quickly distinguished himself with his insatiable appetite for lasagna, his penchant for napping, and his trademark sarcastic asides. This new special issue of LIFE magazine, titled "Garfield," promises to delve deep into the enduring appeal of this cultural phenomenon.
