This seventeenth installment contains another jolly Christmas, a new year's resolution, Chinese food, Rip Van Garfield: the Story of a Catnap, a visit from Jon' parents, Garfield and Nermal vs. the kids in the neighborhood, Jon's way of impressing a blind date, the Sand Person, Garfield's insomnia, a bad day in the vanity department, Jon in the hospital, Garfield's 10th Birthday, getting stuck on a tree branch, and Garfield as the Mummy. This is an improvement over "Rounds Out" and the laughs get bigger and better. But it's too bad that the first panel of the Sunday strips have been left out; they're still essential to "Garfield".

This has to be my all time favorite Garfield book! I laughed more reading this one than any other. And believe me, they're all funny! My favorite strips are: page 11, where Jon and Garfield eat take-out Chinese food and it all ends up on Jon's face; page 32, where Garfield treats Odie like a leaky faucet; and page 70, where Garfield once again can't seem to get those birds in the bird bath. I love this book in full color, but I still won't ever give up my original copies from the late eighties.
