GARFIELD was born on the comics pages on June 19, 1978. The creation of cartoonist Jim Davis, GARFIELD is a humorous strip centered on the lives of a quick-witted orange cat who loves lasagne, coffee, and his remote control; Jon Arbuckle, his owner; and Odie, a sweet but dumb dog. GARFIELD was introduced to the world in just 41 newspapers and is now the most widely syndicated comic strip ever, appearing in 2100 newspapers. The strip, distributed by Universal Press, is read by over 200 million people each day and is translated into 42 languages. The success of the comic strip spawned an entertainment empire including television: Garfield and Friends (1988-1995), The Garfield Show, currently on Cartoon Network in 130 countries, a dozen primetime specials; movies, including Garfield: The Movie and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties; hundreds of best-selling books, and thousands of licensed products.Garfield has long been considered an evergreen property because he has not only endured, but continues to be fresh and funny after 36 years in the limelight.
