5.0 out of 5 stars
A Twisted Treat, October 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Garfield Book of Cat Names (Paperback)
While Jim Davis is rarely associated with the modern day literary greats, this book reverses the assumption that the cartoon, "Garfield," is little more than an analogy for suicide. Alas, more than one of us has feared for Jon's life, as a combination of his general bad luck and Garfield's general maliciousness threaten to push poor Mr. Arbuckle over the edge. This book is a playful retreat from Davis's darker themes, in which Garfield becomes the mischevious provider of feline names, as opposed to his usual activities that send Jon to bed crying. This work propells Davis to the head of the proverbial class. Watch out "Family Circus!" Garfield is back in town!
