3.0 out of 5 stars TV Garfield, February 14, 2007

This review is from: Here Comes Garfield (Paperback)

Garfield and Odie live with Jon Arbuckle, and frustrate him sometimes. They also frustrate a neighbour living next door. Because of this, the neighbours call the pound, and Odie is taken away. Garfield decides to rescue him. Without Odie, who will keep him company?

1982's "Here Comes Garfield" is a colour comic based on the TV special of the same name. Some funny moments here, but not my favorite. 3.5 Stars.

This review is from: Here Comes Garfield (Paperback)

To say that I am a fan of Garfield the cat would be putting it mildly. Although I am more of a dog person (since I grew up with dogs), I have to say that in terms of comic relief cats are funnier, Garfield the cat in particular. I have loved Garfield since I started reading his comics back in the early '80s. His constant putdowns and insults are a neverending source of laughter for me. It was inevitable that Garfield would make the move from newspapers to television. His first special was "Here Comes Garfield". I still have my copy of the book. Like the early Garfield animation, the drawings in "Here Comes Garfield" is a bit crude but a lot better than what he looked like in the late '70s. The story revolves around Garfield trying to rescue Odie from the city pound after a neighbor calls the pound on the mischievous pair for terrorizing his small terrier. The story is both funny and poignant. I'm almost thirty and I am still a big fan of the fat, orange tabby cat who is the size of an aircraft carrier.
