Garfield (FR) #20
Ne se mouille pas
Voilà un événement très fugitif qui ne se reproduira sans doute jamais : Garfield a suivi un régime et peut enfin voir ses pieds. Et ça lui fiche la trouille, tous ces doigts de pieds! C'est sans doute pour ça qu'il retourne manger et, tel le lion invincible, guette bravement un troupeau d'oeufs sur le plat. En fait, il n'a jamais déployé autant d'ingéniosité pour baffrer. Même Jon, qui devrait être blasé, trouve ça invraisemblable. Tout ça n'empêche pas l'amour : Jon aime Garfield parce qu'il est imprévisible, et il le lui dit. Il n'aurait pas dû. Aussitôt, Garfield se met à être vraiment imprévisible, et c'est pénible à vivre... D'autant plus que le pauvre Jon n'est pas au mieux de sa forme : il en a marre d'être célibataire. Aucune fille ne l'arrête au super-marché pour l'inviter à dîner. Il se demande si c'est parce qu'il a passé la date de péremption et ça le met en rogne. Dieu merci, il ne risque pas de se laisser aller. Odie et Garfield l'aident chacun leur tour à se réveiller le matin. Odie emploie la célèbre méthode "truffe gelée au creux du dos". Garfield lui monte sur l'estomac et le contemple sans rien dire jusqu'à ce qu'il craque. Tout ça est très finement observé, et les amis des bêtes apprécieront.

About the author
Jim Davis
2,356 books634 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.
