Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

It's in this book that Garfield celebrates his 10th birthday! Ten years of laughing with the cat who can make us chuckle the most! Poor Garfield doesn't do well with birthdays, unfortunately, so he dreads this one. He does discover the joys of Chinese food, however. He also makes the acquaintance of the "sand person", who dumps a truckload of sand onto Garfield to help him fall asleep. Only Jim Davis can come up with these characters!

3.0 out of 5 stars Garfield's not a cat, June 28, 2005

By

This review is from: Garfield Chews the Fat (Garfield (Numbered Paperback)) (Paperback)

He's a little brother dressed up in a cat costume. He can't speak, but somehow he communicates telepathically with his "master" and the family dog, Odie, who behaves like a retarded child.

These comics are cute, but there's really not that much humor in them, or maybe just a one-"hah" rank in humor.

I wish Gary Larson would go back to writing comics. He was good.

I've recently seen two other syndicated comics which are pretty funny, "Rubes" by Leigh and "Bizarro" by Dan Piraro. These newer, and presumably younger, artists make Jim Davis look like a children's cartoonist, which, in some ways, he actually is. But we're all really just big children, right? Right! Diximus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not one of Garfield's better books from the mid to late 80's, March 19, 2003

This review is from: Garfield Chews the Fat (Garfield (Numbered Paperback)) (Paperback)

Man I love garfield cause he is a very funny cat and he does such things as eating Jon's lasanga, being mean to Odie and destroying Jon's chair, there's a hilarious part when Odie drive's Jon's car inside the house but other than that, it's not a classic like some of Garfield's other books of this era.

Overall recommended.
