Everybody out there keep buying Garfield books! They can be worth a lot of money someday and can become collector's items! I'm always going to keep all of mine so when I have kids they can read them!

This is, by far, the best garfield book I've ever read. It includes the best vacation sequence, the Garfield vs Air and Plumbing systems sequence and the third "Oh no! My stomach has outgrown my legs!" sequence. Very good jokes, fern pulverizations and dietry yuks. Pure Garfield down to the last panel.

This ninth installment of the "Garfield" comics contains lots and lots more of Garfield, Odie, and Jon's adventures. Here, we get to see Garfield and Jon going on a vacation in the tropics (which lasts for three weeks), Garfield going on another worthless diet, another visit to the farm, some more flirtations with Arlene, Garfield's adventures as Amoeba Man, Garfield stuck in the heating vent, and a lovely little hammock just outside Jon's house. And it looks like we've seen the last of Lyman. Poor, poor Lyman. Oh, well. At least we get to see Garfield, Jon, Odie, Arlene, Nermal, Mom, Dad, and Doc Boy in "Garfield Loses his Feet."

The mid 1980's was the highest point for the Garfield comic strip. The jokes were still fresh and funny and so was the artwork. One of the high points of this collection is when Garfield eats so much that he can no longer walk and spends most of the time laying on his belly. I recommend this book out of all of the books in the series.

Garfield is funnier,meaner,better than ever in this book and you would realy like this book.

What else is there to say about Garfield that I haven't already said before? Garfield is the inner cat in us. He says things that we all wish we want to say but can't. He also does things that we wish we could do but can't. Garfield is probably the one cat I wouldn't mind owning although it would probably be a costly living expense having to feed him non-stop of lasagna and pizza. I love going through all my Garfield books, especially the early books when there were no spider jokes and Lyman was still around. Like in all of the books, "Garfield Loses His Feet" is peppered with sarcasm, diets, dog kicking, and farm jokes. One of my favorite moments in the book is when Garfield imagines himself married to his girlfriend Arlene. I loved it when Garfield pretends to be Amoeba Man and walks around the house wearing hear blanket. I had to laugh out loud when Garfield attempts to lay down on a hammock but because he so fat, he ends up sinking to the ground in the hammock. The time Garfield literally eats so much that his stomach outgrows his feet was priceless. My all time favorite moment in the book has to be when Nermal comes to visit. I love seeing Garfield and Nermal match wits. There are so many hilarious moments in the book it is really hard to pick a favorite strip.
