Garfield Fat Cat 3-Pack: Vol 13
This uproarious collection includes three books in Garfield Beefs Up, Garfield Gets Cookin’, and Garfield Eats Crow .
He used to be perfect, but now he’s even better! Garfield, the fat cat with the super-sized ego, is back in the spotlight, dissing his dimwitted owner Jon—even pilfering his pants. Some cats chase mice; Garfield prefers to take legal action. When down on the farm, the city kitty puts up with—and puts down—Jon and his barnyard brother. No wonder Garfield’s often in a bad mood.
But no matter what, he’s always in the mood for food!
The GARFIELD FAT CAT 3-PACK series collects the GARFIELD comic-strip compilation books in a new, full-color format. Garfield may have gone through a few changes, but one thing has stayed the his enormous appetite for food and fun. So enjoy some super sized laughs with the insatiable cat, because too much fun is never enough!

About the author
Jim Davis
2,298 books631 followersJames Robert "Jim" Davis is an American cartoonist who created the popular comic strip Garfield. Other comics that he has worked on are Tumbleweeds, Gnorm Gnat, Slapstick, and a strip about Mr. Potato Head.
Jim Davis was born in Fairmount, Indiana, near Marion, where he grew up on a small farm with his father James William Davis, mother Anna Catherine (Carter) Davis, brother Dave, and 25 cats. Davis' childhood on a farm parallels the life of his cartoon character Garfield's owner, Jon Arbuckle, who was also raised on a farm with his parents and a brother, Doc Boy. Jon, too, is a cartoonist, and also celebrates his birthday on July 28. Davis attended Ball State University. While attending Ball State, he became a member of the Theta Xi fraternity. He earned the dubious honor of earning one of the lowest cumulative grade point averages in the history of the university, an honor incidentally shared with Late Show host David Letterman.
Davis as of 2007 resides in Muncie, Indiana, where he and his staff produce Garfield under his company, Paws, Inc., begun in 1981. He was married to Carolyn, a singer and elementary teacher whom he met while both were attending college, and has a son named James with her. However, the couple divorced, and Davis since 2000 has been married to Jill, Paws' senior vice president of licensing, who has worked there approximately 25 years.
Ironically, Davis did not own cats when he started Garfield because of Carolyn's allergies, but they owned a Labrador retriever named Molly. With Jill, the family has expanded to include children Ashley and Chris; three grandchildren, Chloe, Carly and Cody; cats, Spunky and Nermal; and a dog, Pooky.

This is a compilation of 3 books of the classic comic. I love that it is in colour, that added feature added to my reading enjoyment. If you like Garfield this is the book for you.

So I skipped several volumes (I'm waiting for them to come out with Garfield Fat Cat 3-Pack Volume's 10-12 in full color). But this is the same Garfield we all know and love. From Jon, Odie and classic Garfield antics to Spiders, Mice, Mailmen and Pooky. Celebrating holidays, pondering on Jon's woes (and he has plenty), and visiting family on the farm. A lot of fun when you want to unwind or need a smile!

The first three Garfield collections, reprinted at a decent size and in full color. Garfield isn't the best comic strip around, I know, but the art can sometimes be hilarious. And I guess I can relate very well to a fat, cynical cat who loves to eat and watch TV.

I've been noticing that Garfield is evolving, and, they are showing Odie has another side. Odie sometimes watches Opera while smoking a pipe, LOL.!
