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!

Before I got into Calvin and Hobbes when I was little, my introduction to comics was none other than everybody's favorite cat, Garfield. And even in my early twenties, I can say proudly that I still read him. Any time I'm feeling down or need a good laugh, that's when I pull out a Garfield book. "Garfield: Pulls His Weight" is a hilarious collection of some of Garfield's funniest moments.

Nothing ever changes, as Garfield is always faced with the same obstacles; dieting, surviving Mondays, putting up with his not-so-bright owner, kicking Odie off the table, and much more. This book's no different from the rest, but it's still funny every time I read it.

Jim Davis has it down when it comes to creating hilarious situations for Garfield and his owner. It's almost impossible not to crack a smile when reading some of the strips. Most of the time you will run into a strip or two that will get you laughing, even if you don't want to!

"Garfield: Pulls His Weight" is a very funny collection of Garfield strips, and I recommend it to any Garfield fans out there. If you're looking for a few laughs or just want some entertainment, this is something that is bound to fulfill your needs. Garfield never gets boring, and I have no problem admitting to that.

Garfield is one of the best comic strips ever. I like all ofhis books. Garfield rules!!!!!!!!

Another of Jim Davis's funny Garfield books. It has all kinds of jokes about things like shedding, kicking Odie off of the table, and all of the regular jokes about Nermal and Garfield's birthday. I reaaly recommened this book.

For many years I have enjoyed reading Garfield. He was always one of my favorite characters and I own many of his early books.In his latest books (including the 26th) I noticed that the strips seemed different. They weren't as fun to read. They were missing something. Recently I found out what that 'something' was.

Being a big fan of comic strips, I bought a book that told about the strips and also about the cartoonist. I read in that book that Jim Davis no longer draws his own strip any more. He now hires someone else to draw it. He still supplies the ideas, but he is now concentrating on turning the strip into an advertisement for Garfield products.

The missing part? The strip no longer has a soul. Mr. Davis sold it to a T-shirt company.

It is hard for me to understand how someone could do something like that to his own creation.
