About the author
Jim Davis
2,357 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.

Very funny!

This book wasn’t very good. There was maybe one or two stories that were ok but most were pretty bad. Quite a few of them had the characters looking really weird again. One of the stories was extremely similar to another story they did in a previous book. That’s the second time I’ve noticed them copy their own stories in another book with only slight changes. It’s ridiculous. I also hate that more and more the characters talk to the reader throughout the story. I don’t mind Garfield talking to the reader as the narrator telling the story but I hate when a character talks to the reader that is part of the story. I was not impressed with this book and I do not recommend it.

I've checked out a few of these books now and I'm really not a big fan. I guess I just prefer the old comic strips to these wannabe action adventure comics...cause when you think of action adventure...you definitely think of Garfield...right? :sarcasm:

How are you going to be a long way from the same things that are important to note the headline of a video game industry in his first season with you

Great book.
Really funny book with lots of great illustrations. I would recommend it to anyone who liked the previous Garfield books.

Lots of silly comics. Liked the Sunday ones. Also liked the fact that there were a lot of scenes where Garfield was looking up and you could only see his little snout. I love those ones.

Amazing
It is so remarkable what a cat like garfield can do. He is Lazy and fat, but secretly cares for the Jon guy
