About the author
Jim Davis
2,357 books635 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.

Loved, loved, loved it!
Best way to start a new year: with a good laugh!
Jon: Why don't you just lie there and do nothing?
Garfield: Consider it done!
Jon: I was being sarcastic.
Garfield, sleeping: Sorry, no longer listening
Yup!

Garfield has always been my favorite. Always good for a laugh. My favorite is when the spider appears. Too funny. There's probably a little bit of everyone in each of the Garfield characters.

A collection of Garfield the cat comics.
It's been quite a while since I've read a Garfield. I used to watch the show regularly as a child and read the comics whenever I visited grandparents who got a newspaper. It kind of threw me for a loop to read about Garfield using a cell phone, but I got used to it. I love that these are still good clean fun for all ages. An enjoyable way to pass the time.
