This 1970s Garfield comic book classic shows the typical
life of Garfield the cat himself. His main hobbies are eating and sleeping on a
regular basis. Living with his owner Jon Arbuckle and Lyman, who is Odie's
owner since they both now live together in the same house because Lyman's house
got burned down. This would also show what are Garfield's clever and wild
moments such as him eating a mailman or destroying a very expensive scratching
post. Sometimes, Jon would wonder why did he ever adopt this poor giant orange
cat and if he ever regretted doing this.
I haven't read comics for a long time now but when it came
to me getting back on my feet into reading them again, I think that this is one
of the best comic books I have ever read. I used to read them a lot when I was
a little kid but now I got to understand them more in a funnier way. I really
enjoy the humor and the imagery in these strips for a first book of the
Garfield series. It's also not too long or too short but it can sometimes feel
a book may never end in general. I can't say I didn't like the book but
although I thought the way the book physically looks, it should be facing a
vertical direction rather than a horizontal one based on the copy I got because
sometimes it wouldn't fit in my bag but otherwise, it's a really fun book to
read. Whether big or small, I would recommend this book to everyone who can
read because comics are mostly less words and more graphics.
