"Nobody beats up on Odie but me!"

Here we have the six installment of the Garfield comics. "Garfield Eats His Heart Out" has the same slapstick and ironic humor that's found in the last five books, but this is slightly funnier. Here, Garfield has to battle a cat leash, fulfil his urge to climb trees, escape Aunt Gussie as John leaves on vacation, and find ways to escape the window blinds. As for Jon, he's still hopelessly flirting (and asking for a date) with Liz. 12/19/1981 should'nt be too hard to look at. I prefer the comics of the 90's and late 80's, but the 70's and early 80's are still great ones no doubt.

Great Book!!!

Garfield is one of my favorite comic book characters. I highly reccomend this one!!! Garfield Forever!!!

Garfield eats his heart out and mine too

There is nothing funnier than an fat, orange tabby cat with black stripes sleeping thirteen hours a day (or more), stuffing his face fat full of food, and getting stuck in a tree. When I read my morning paper, the first thing I go to is the comic section and read my daily Garfield strip. I own all 40 books of collections of Garfield strips from the last twenty five years. The animation in Garfield's first few years is a bit on the crude side but he was still funny nevertheless. It is weird seeing Garfield physically evolve until "Garfield Takes the Cake" and "Garfield Eats His Heart Out". I think Jim Davis really defined Garfield's appearance in the 5th and 6th books. Jim has yet to fail me with Garfield's antics. I love it when Jon puts Garfield on a diet or tries to go on a vacation without his lazy cat. Of course what is Garfield without a visit from Nermal, the world's cutest kitten? One of my personal favorite moments in the book is when Jon wakes up and is startled to see Garfield wearing his reading glasses. Another great moment is when Jon and Garfield visits Jon's parents on the farm, and Garfield falls into a pig waller and gets covered in mud. Garfield is hilarious when he makes some snide remark about his girlfriend Arlene's gap between her teeth. There is never a shortage of laughs in any Garfield book. Jim Davis never seems to fail me with his abilities to make me laugh through his famous fat cat.
