This review is from: Garfield: Survival of the Fattest: His 40th Book (Paperback)

I can never get enough of Garfield's sarcastic humor, so I love to sit down with a book like this and read six months of strips in one single sitting.

This, his 40th book, covers the strips from June-December of 2001 with a few outrageous outtakes in which you won't recognize Garfield before he took on his present form.

My favorites are always the ones with Nermal, but his neighbor Mrs. Feeny also gets her share of torture from the tubby tabby and his antics with Jon and Odie take center stage. When it comes to cats, fat is where it's at and nobody does fat better than Garfield in a smorgasboord of full-color strips to make you laugh the day away.

I really am Garfield's biggest fan. Ask me ANY question about him - I'll know the answer. I absolutely loved this book - Garfield has done it again! I don't understand how you can't love a fat cat! Is it his sarcasm? Is it his love for food? Maybe it's his , well , I don't know what it is! Just read the book =)

4.0 out of 5 stars Praise from a comic strip fan, February 23, 2004

My Garfield collection is not complete but it's up there. The fact that Jim Davis can come up with enough comic strip ideas to fill 40 books and keep them as funny as he has explains why he's been around for as long as he has. To fans of comic strips I say this book is truly worth a look. To fans of Garfield it's a must have.
