Really Funny

Okay, I think this is a funny book, but a let-down compared to some of Jim Davis's earlier books. In spite of this, it is still funny, and still gets 5 stars. I like the comics dealing with Mrs. Feeny, and the ones dealing with Jon's Mom. I would like to see what Mrs. Feeny actually looks like, however. Still funny, still entertaining, and cat's do not live to their 20's but it is a COMIC STRIP. A very good one compared to some of the unfunny crap in newspapers these days.

If You're Hungry For Garfield, This Is A Satisfying Treat

I can never get enough of Garfield's sarcastic humor, so I love to sit down with a book like this and read six months of strips in one single sitting.This, his 40th book, covers the strips from June-December of 2001 with a few outrageous outtakes in which you won't recognize Garfield before he took on his present form.My favorites are always the ones with Nermal, but his neighbor Mrs. Feeny also gets her share of torture from the tubby tabby and his antics with Jon and Odie take center stage. When it comes to cats, fat is where it's at and nobody does fat better than Garfield in a smorgasboord of full-color strips to make you laugh the day away.

Two paws up!

I really am Garfield's biggest fan. Ask me ANY question about him - I'll know the answer. I absolutely loved this book - Garfield has done it again! I don't understand how you can't love a fat cat! Is it his sarcasm? Is it his love for food? Maybe it's his , well , I don't know what it is! Just read the book =)

Awsome Garfield Book!

OK, 1st, let me tell you, that I am a big Garfield fan. Not for years, though. I do love him anyway. And, Survival of The Fattest is his latest book, and, it is very funny!! Let me tell you my top 5 favorite strips:1. The one where a little ant, a bird, whos ready to eat the ant, and Garfield, who wants to despreatly eat the bird, eats him, and the Ant says "My hero!" And, then garfield stomps him.2. One of the ones where Garfield doesnt want to eat, becauuse of his diet. Thats the one where Garfield says he doesnt think he can eat his 2nd lettuce leaf. Then, he grabs Jon by the neck, and says "Because I'm Planning To Pass Out From Hunger!!"3. The one where Jon says "You know what I love about cats, Garfield? Youre so refined." Then, Garfield does a hairball hack, and says "Ahem, you were saying?" Heh.4. One of the spider scenes when a spider has a walking cast, and, he says to Garfield "I'd ask you to sign it, but I hate your stinking guts, you fat tub of lard!" And, then, it looks like Garfield smacked him, and, the Spider was inside the cast. I have no idea though if it was garfield or spider... funny tho!5. One where this lady walks, Jon and Garfield are siting on a bench on a boardwalk, and, the woman yawns and burps (hahaha) And, Garfield says "She seemed nice" Then, Jon does a puzzled look.OH, one more thing. When Jon does those dorky, sad, mad, and not happy eyelashed looks, I call those looks "kiddees". I dont know why, I just think its very funny. Anyway, I love this book!
