It's the inevitable meeting of the sourpusses! Garfield, the reigning cynical cat of newspapers and TV crosses paths with Grumpy Cat, the internet sensation whose scowl endeared herself to the world. Who's the most sarcastic? Well, he likes lasagna and not much else...and she doesn't even like lasagna. Can these two inhabit the same comic book mini-series, let alone the same planet? You'll find out in a trio of issues written by Mark Evanier and illustrated by Steve Uy. We'd say it's the cat's meow but neither of these cats meows.
So Garfield has a real alive version of him in Grumpy Cat's persona. After reading this first installment in this comics series of the collaboration of Grumpy Cat and Garfield, I immediately searched for Grumpy Cat because I'm not familiar with him/her. It's funny how candid the similarities of the fictional character Garfield to a real life Grumpy Cat. I'm looking forward for the release of the succeeding issues in this series.
Ehh... There's not much to the story, like they are going to drag this out issue by issue with very little substance. One negative to the graphics too is Garfield seemed a little flat and emotionless; especially at the end on the last scene where Grumpy cat and Garfield where stuck in a space and disliked each other...that image of Garfield could have replace any other on the comic. He should have been scowling or pouting.
As a Garfield fan I wanted to read this. I read Grump Cat's original comic and sadly this is written like that. So, I probably won't be continuing unless it's free. Happily, I only shelled out 49 cents for a digital copy of this on Comixology.
