Jim Davis has had many successes with Garfield including four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and induction into the Licensing Hall of Fame (1998), but his most prized awards are from his peers in the National Cartoonist Society: Best Humor Strip (1981 and 1985), the Elzie Segar Award (1990), and the coveted Reuben Award (1990) for overall excellence in cartooning.

I thought this a more well done Garfield book though i admit i had seen some of the strips before, this has been the most enjoyable Garfield book I've read and would recomend it to both non-Garfield readers and readers who may not have it, otherwise, read it again!Why? this book has been the done the best job livening-up my "down" days, plus i especially enjoyed the sunday comics and the funny garfield's humor page. This book also remined me of the 36th garfield book in its humor basic aspects. I Love this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The cover is even funny!, May 22, 2002

"Garfield" is one of the funniest comic strips, next to "Baby Blues"! You would still laugh if you were to skip the words and just look at the facial expressions! I find that in the earlier "Garfield's," there were more witty one-liners, which are shown in this book. I recommend!
